|  waterblock screw tightness How tight do i twist the waterblock screws? Mines not a pushpin but rather the rod with nuts you must twist. How tight do i make it?

| Re: waterblock screw tightness Not a very easy question to answer I allways just guessed but you could try screwing them all down so they're even with the top of the waterblock then go down 1mm-2mm more.

 | Re: waterblock screw tightness I would say finger tight. I doubt you would need to get them any tighter then that.

| Re: waterblock screw tightness yeah just tight enough so that the block doesn't shift around. don't go too tight, especially if it has an acrylic top as acrylic cracks easier than you might think.
