Just wondering if anyone could tell me how tight I can tighten the thumb screws that have the Phillips heads that bolt onto the Intel lga1151 brackets on the motherboard. The instructions are just pictures and very vague whether you should use a screwdriver or just tighten them down by hand. If anyone has installed this cooler any advice is appreciated.

Your thread title should be edited accordingly.

Now, pertaining to the thumb screws, you should tighten them per your thumbs twisting/tightening power. Any tighter and you can risk stripping the screws inner threads or worse the thumb screws Phillips heads. In simpler terms, keep turning that screwdriver until you receive a resistance from the action.
