So I will try to proceed with caution about applying too much torque. First of all I will eliminate the rectangular CPU clamp, at least until I can get a post/boot.
Next I have a question about how much to tighten the NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition CPU cooler. I have two different sets of Noctua instructions (see below). When I am tightening and after several turns on each screw I can begin to feel the slip-slip on each side when it reaches the spring tension.
Then I continue until it stops. Perhaps I applied extra pressure to ensure that it has stopped. I will eliminate the step of applying extra pressure to ensure that it has stopped.

Any other suggestions?
