Test report Apogee GTZ vs. Koolance 350 vs. HeatKiller 3.0

[Sadasius]

Yes Linus, I will be glad to provide advice based on observation:

Observation: Unless error or omission on my part,

1/ I didn't see specific torque instructions in the Koolance manual, like I saw in the HK for example (20 to 25NM recommended, with specific heights in millimeters so that user can measure, and apply appropriate tension)
2/ There is no spring tension specification provided by the manufacturer (lbs/in) for the springs, so it is not possible to ascertain what force is placed on the processor.
3/ Finally, there is no mechanism provided by the manufacturer to prevent over tightening of the screws

I suppose you could call and ask them to clarify what they mean by (I quote their manual): " DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN"

That is pretty big of you to give such constructive criticism. I know myself I am kind of a callous business person and would have played dumb and said 'Yeah it's easy as pie and you can really crank down on her and don't worry about your motherboard as it increases your folding power!'
