Swiftech MCW372 clamping Q

[HeXenViRii]

do i want to release all the spring pressure onto the cpu ? those springs seem pretty strong and my tbird seems pretty delicate ...

 

[JFettig]

yeah, let it go all the way

 

[HeXenViRii]

ok ...

 

[JFettig]

its designed so that when you release those things that push the springs down, it exerts 20-24lbs onto the cpu,

 

[HeXenViRii]

what would be the breaking point if you dont mind me asking ?

 

[JFettig]

of the cpu? somewere past 30lbs if done correctly

the cpu is strong straight on, but uneven pressure can screw it up.
