Swiftech MCW462 mounting questions.
 
I'm just wondering about the mounting system on this block. I was putting the standoffs on my motherboard, preparing to install everything tomorrow. I tried fixing the block to the empty socket after I had the standoffs on, and realized that when I screw the screws with springs in, the standoffs just turn with them, and the nuts holding them on, as well. I had the nut on the back of the mobo, screwed on to the standoff, and a washer between the standoff and mobo. I used plyers to hold the standoff and to screw the nut on nice and tight.

Am I just supposed to keep screwing this nylon nut onto the standoff as tight as possible (tighter than i had it), so that when I screw the screws/springs into the standofs that the standoffs dont move? I'm just wondering how i'm supposed to get the block on there nice and tight, so my temps dont suffer from a poor mount.

And with the standoffs moving, how do I unscrew the screw/springs without having them and the nylon nuts coming off as well?

Nevermind. After a bit of research, it looks like super-glue will do the job :)
