5950x torque spec?

[Celestron]

Had a pc built by a local shop and after having just gone through it all with a fine tooth comb I noticed the cpu screws inconsistency tightened. All loose. One wiggled >.> I tightened them about as firmly as two fingers can manage. Nothing crazy. But I would really like to know what the recommended torque spec is if any. I cannot seem to find any information on such for the 5950x.

All coolers AFAIK besides bottom barrel garbage ones have a bottom our that will stop allowing you to tighten beyond what is safe. 

 

What cooler do you have on it?

Ryujin 360. Hm.. so I should tighten until I feel a stop? Because I know I could turn the screws much more.

Yes, tighten them down until they no longer turn by hand.

Now when you say "by hand". They are big thumb screws, but im using a philips driver to tighten them. Probably shouldve mentioned that. Lol. Ill make sure they're not too tight in that case...

Yea, they should bottom out to where they should be properly just by using your fingers to tighten. 

 

Also, please make sure you're quoting or tagging people when replying otherwise we may not see your response.

I see. Thanks so much!

Threadripper torque spec is 1.5 N-m.  If you are looking for even pressure I'd start there.

Why does TR have a specified torque spec as opposed to all else?

It's a different socket, using LGA and a different mounting mechanism.
