Got this one in the mail today, the instruction for mounting is fine but the last step isn't helping me. The manual suggest the contact pressure be set to 200N (newton I guess?) and in a table provided for all Intel CPU, 200N is 19.6 19.6 what? 19.6 inches? I would hope it is 19.6mm, which is .77 inches. I'd have to dig up my caliper to get that precise measurement.
If it is not mm, then what? I do have an access to torque wrench but it's at my dad's shop (for engine work) and it goes up to something like 1000 foot-pounds and may not be precise enough for this one (it's a huge wrench about 3 feet long, and defiantly big for a 3 inches water block)
PS the HK block doesn't come with hose connectors but uses G1/4 threading so if you plan to get HK, be sure to order 2 of the connectors
