I don't think tightening the block down until the springs or spacers bottom is good I think its way too tight.

I now use a back plate on the board & just apply light block mounting pressure & all is good.



The PA is awesome do it you know you want to

I use a backplate tas well. I dont usually go to the absoulute bottom of the mounting hardware, but I like a really firm mount. I cant remember off hand but I think Intel mount pressure is around 65lbs.

I would love to get the PA 120.3 but I absoulutely need a new case. I am so sick of the jalopy that is my Tt Armor. I have had it so long that it sickens me to look at. Getting my MM Horizon is first on my priority list, but since the little guy was born a couple months back, definately on the back burner as doing it right will be about $650 CAD.
