Hey guys,

Building my first PC right now, and had a question. Just how tight should the mounting screws on the Mobo be? Should they be tight, should the head of the screw just be touching or should i leave a little gap between the mobo and the screw heads?


Thanks!

Hold the screwdriver between your thumb and forefinger and twist until you fell a sharp rise in torque. That'll be about right
