Mounting pressure?

[charbel1011]

I installed the hyper evo 212 yesterday, but i had to put little pressure when i wanted to screw the 4th bolt, is this a problem to apply little pressure? sorry for my stupid questions but i get worried about stupid stuff.

Nope it shouldnt be a problem, as long as you were doing the x pattern you'll be fine, now... dont take an impact gun to secure it but hand tight with slight force is normal.

Don't worry, that question isn't stupid Screw in until it's tight enough that you can't go any further, then loosen it a tad. Don't use a power drill, that can lead to bending.

Nope. Mounting style doesn't really matter.

And how did you get it fit using AMDs screw pattern? You should be using middle holes of the 3 for LGA115x boards.

[charbel1011]

i did put the screws on the middle.

Well then you didn't install it like in pic. But nitpicking aside, just follow manual. If you feel it rotate around middle point, thats normal since it has hinge in the middle.
