The last piece of my new water system has FINALLY arrived off back order. A Low profile maze 5 GPU cooler.
I've installed it on a EN7600GT using the four hole mounting bracket. However it's not installed properly as evidenced by my high GPU temp.

Problem is the install instructions are poor. And I'm not sure how tight I should screw it in before I might damage the GPU?
The two bolt mount has springs and tightening limiters but not the four bolt one.
Can someone please share an install doc. or let me know how they ensured even tightening on all four bolts?
I prefer the four bolt mount as it's more secure, but maybe I should be using the two bolt?

Thanks for the read....
 
I believe the four bolt one uses rubber o-rings in place of springs? I would make sure these are compressed at least half way.
 
Thanks for the tips peeps.
Must say that I'm not one bit impressed with the four bolt mount, it's cheesy to say the least. For the price of the block they should have least put some limiters to prevent over tightening.
Some kind of install instructions would also be nice, as one can easily warp a EN7600GT board without much much pressure on the bolts.
In the end I tightened until I saw the board warp, which was well before the rubber O Rings where crushed, then backed off the bolts until the board was straight.

Two hole mounting system is much nicer and prevents over tightening.
