Wraith Spire instalation

[Lemmy69]

Hey , i'm mounting wraith spire cooler(r7 1700) on Asus prime x370 , and i have never mounted a cooler with screews(read noob) , and I was expecting to find in the cpu box how much should I tighten the screews, but it's not included and i cannot find it anywhere , not on the amd website or anywhere on the net.

just follow the basic rule of pc building : just tighten them enough that it's secure but not too much that it feels you're forcing it . and try to tighten them in a "cross " pattern like starting up right , then down left , down right , up left, up right, down left, ... got it ? i got my 1600 recently and had the same problem as you do. I saw that in a video , there are many tutorials on youtube on how to mount that cooler  

 

Here it is : this one is a good example 

NOTE: i do not own this YT channel  i just watch a lot of ryzen videos lol
