0.6 Nm Torque. How?
Hi Folks,
My Noctua CPU cooler wants me to torque it onto my CPU at 0.6 Nm. I don't own that torque wrench! ~ 5.3 inch/lb ~ .44 ft/lb How would you all go about this, pls? TIA! Murf

I've never torqued down screws holding a heatsink down to any spec. I would just evenly "torque" down the screws to the point where you feel decent resistance and then stop.
I've don this on a myriad of computer hardware to include servers costing in the 5 figures and have never had a problem. I've also observed other techs that don't torque the screws to a spec. It's all by feel. But with what you've shown with the 5.3 in lb spec, it's not a lot of torque/force.
