Waterblock tightening

Well, i just finished putting my case back together and i've never delt with bolt on cpu coolers.

I'm just afraid to crack my die(s).

How far should i tighten these bad boys down? Two TC-4 WBs btw, one rev1 one rev2.

Thanks,

how do they attach? with springs or straight bolts?
if it is just bolts you should just tighten them till they are tight, but dont torque the crap out of them or you will crack your core.
it should work just fine with a little more than hand tight.
if it uses springs then just tughten them until the springs are about half way compressed,
i believe i am correct but someone pls check me.

my spring are almost completley compressed.

yea they're springs.

thanks!

with springs the proper way to tighten them is to tighten opposite corners simultaneously for a few turns of the nuts, then the other opposite corners a few turns, repeat until the springs are about half compressed and the block cant' wiggle around.
