 |  Scythe Mugen 3 installation advice Hi, bought & installed a Scythe Mugen 3 PCGH edition. However, I have a little question regarding the installation: How tight do I have to screw the cooler to the backplate: - complete down - until it gets adequately tough to screw the screws Thanks |

| Just check the temps, if it gets better with a tight fit just do it

| Socket AM3+ (FX-8120) The 'arms' are already reasonably bend, so I guess it is sufficient. I was just wondering if maybe I should try to screw it down harder, as a lot of weight (the block is huge) is pulling down on the 'top side' of the cpu. |

| you will see that the bolts provided are just half treaded, so if you screw on a nut it would only go half the way on the bolt, is this correct ?

| Some notes: - the Asrock 970de3/u3s3 does not seem very fit for overclocking. When requesting 1.4V core voltage, I get: * 1.39 idle * 1.33 under load  - the asrock 970de3/u3s3 won't boot without a graphics card (unless a fan is active on CHA_FAN1 wtf?) |
