Plus, I'm a little paranoid about breaking the heads off, so I lube the springs, and the threads with a LITTLE silicone grease, before starting...

Thats a good idea. I think I'll try some strips of black electrical tape and back the screws off a bit. Thanks a lot.
That's because the springs are digging into the screw heads & plate!Originally posted by: sd
Took the board off, and put black electrical tape in place. For some reason the screws didn't want to loosen easily so I left as is...

vin did you hear, springs might actually make your contact worse.
Im debating on removing all my springs off my waterblocks.
Yep, that's the intent, AFAIK...Originally posted by: sjandrewbsme
I also think that the point of the hole flange that penetrates the board is that it's for alignment and a screw stop - i.e. you turn the screw until it bottoms out against this flange.
I *think* this was the intent.
As far as torque is concerned, I would count turns until it "feels" right...
