Got a cooler I want to mount and came with some screws/springs to fit it and I have no idea how they work lol
They come packaged like this
And as far as I can tell the only way that makes sense to fit them is like this
With the screw tightened onto the PCB with the nut at the bottom and then the springs in between the thumb screws and cooler bracket?
The screws only came with 2 washers each - if that’s how it fits I will have to pick up some more washers as there should be 3 per screw. M
Now realised it’s probably supposed to be different from my pic and that the PCB is supposed to be tightened with the screw and nut with the 2 nylon washers, but the spring nearly pulls through the hole in the bracket when you tighten it with no washer on so will probably throw some on there
Am I correct there before I mount it wrong and screw my cards/CPU up lol?
