Unless you've modified the bracket or retention hardware in some way that's not to EK spec, yes. The springs will apply the proper tension on the cooler when the thumbnuts are bottomed out.

Hi!

quick question before I knock out for the night, am I supposed to bottom out the thumb nuts for the water block as it says in the manual? I don’t wanna apply unnecessary pressure.

 

Night!

Ooo, coolio. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't putting too much pressure on it.


Thanks!
