Go to solution Solved by Nonco,

Just a question on installing Standoffs. Hand tighten screwdriver or drill? Also if thermal compound comes of the metal on the CPu and onto the green part but not into the socket, will the country be ok?

 

Use hand screwdriver, you dont need it to be that tight, just secure. 

 

Also thats fine with the thermal paste.
