Hi everyone. From my experience with installing contact frames for the 12/13 generation, I'm curious about the tightening of those four screws. Could you share the recommended torque or tightness?

For a Thermalright style frame, until they cease, there will be three resistance stages: no resistance when the contact frame is airborne, slight resistance while pushing the CPU into the socket pins, and strong resistance upon impact with the motherboard. Tighten until you reach that third stage, then stop. For a Thermal Grizzly style (floating) frame, it’s a bit more intricate, but the manual provides clear guidance so you should be able to follow it easily.

It is a no name contact frame and I did not get a required tool with it. What tool do I need, I would need to search screwdriver. https://images.app.goo.gl/zD3YSSqkeDkTcorLA

It's a Torx T20 screwdriver. This screw size is fairly typical, especially when you purchase a set of screwdriver bits.

During the tightening process, he moves two steps backward until he detects two clicks, after which he tightens clockwise. Is this a standard procedure for setting up a contact frame?

Yes, it's common to use the L-shaped key for setting up SCEWDRIVER.
