The idea behind the above is help ensure even pressure. |
Agreed 200%.
I've never encountered a cpu mounting system that allows you to over-tighten it. Usually there's either a spring bar that you bend to clip it in place, or the four bolt design (which seems to be more common nowadays). In the four bolt design just tighten the bolts until they're tight, and follow that pattern suggested above.
