Hi I have just installed a new Kraken X61 on to my Asus Z170-A MB.
I was wondering about tightening down as people say don;t tighten too much but from what I can tell the screws hit the bottom and cannot tighten anymore anyway is this normal.
I am using the standoffs that are tall with the same size thread on each end and not the AMD as they are in a separate bag.
I have to take off and put back on so cleaned with 99.9% alcohol and put some mx-4 paste on and put back on but temps seems to be higher than others with this cooler.
Running Prime95 Max temp reaches 79C with min 18C but at idle seems to be about 26C, this is off the Kraken software.
Any advice will be welcome thanks.
