Absolutely looking forward to these episodes. May just be enough to push me to try liquids in my PC for the first time.

Torque screwdrivers 0.1 - 1.6Nm -
WERA 7400 series Kraftform Torque screwdrivers, with factory pre-set value (0.1-1.5 Nm)

There is a good tutorial for this bracket on Gamers Nexus.
I used couple of them on 12900K and it helped everytime to drop atleast 10°C off the CPU (no overclocking tho). I got a little bit better results on Thermal Grizzly contact frame but price to performance Thermalright wins :)
Also these brackets prevents of bending of the CPU, dont forget that.

The amount the intel chips can bend is pretty insane. Have checked a few before and after contact frames, and there is a pretty massive difference.

Torque in america units is in pound-feet of torque. At least in cars

Nice vid! I just got my hand on a 5800x to exchange my 5600g! Hopefully my aio (280) can handle that cpu!!

What speed did you get out of the ram?

After several months of fiddling, I got 5600 cl40 out of my CL38 6000 4x16gb kit. I have a very similar system but with far worse heat issues…

….my system is passive. Or it would be if it didn’t use a 12900k. It’s a MonsterLabo Beast passive.
