TRUE installation

duc999 · 3 Oct 2009 at 17:16

Just fitted a TRUE to my i7 940 on a Rampage Extreme 2 with the 1366 bolt through kit and was wondering, do I tighten the spring loaded screws up as for as they will go ? Or just enough to secure everything (both sides tightened the same amount of turns) ?

Just a bit concerned that I may damage the motherboard if I tighten them up too much ?

All the way until it stops.

To get more pressure, I put a washer on the top side, motherboard is absolutely fine.

I used small foam pads for more pressure. i think they are a bit better as they give more pressure but have a little give in them.
