what torque do i use on the screws for the heat sink for xbox 360 if I'm using 5mm hex head bolts and i think the threading is .8mm and the length is 16mm? got a table for foot pound torque or something?
Is this a good question?

CHEERS to blazercook... good for you! Some people are just sarcastic by nature. I keep forgetting technicians are not always people People.
I not only found your information useful but it also raised some questions... some say that you tighten the bolts then use one POWER turn others say just tighten it enough to catch.
What's your take?

I'm glad I could help, i tightened it until it felt snug. Then I applied a half turn for good measures. Originally I wanted to know the torque because I was rebuilding my cars engine and wanted to use the correct torque to give it a fighting chance of lasting a long time. I was applying the same method to the Xbox. My intentions earlier were not to be arrogant like Mayer portrays, i was merely offering a helping hand.

I don't think they torque those things, after all it's not a header. Use the screwdriver bit that fits and hand pressure should do the trick. Righty tighty, lefty loosy.

Never mind I figured it out. Technically there is a torque because when they manufacture the xbox 360 they torque the x-clamps so they don't brake/chip the gpu/cpu. I was hoping someone new what the toque would be originally. However i found a solution. I modded it and created a new chassis without using the x-clamps and using the bolts threw the entire metal frame and drilled 4 descent sized holes in the flat heatsink for nuts then i took 8 washers and used only 1 for each screw between the board and heatsink instead of two and it allowed it to make proper contact with the heatsink so is finally working lol. But thanks for trying to answer anyways.
Your calling in life may be as a tech. Nice work!
