    Hmm, cursory Google searches don’t seem to indicate a clear answer. You could always ask framework themselves, but I suspect that the answer is the general spec on the torx screws they use, and likely lower torque when it fastens a non-metal part.

    I might be crucified for saying this, but does it need specific torque? Generally you’re looking for fastened/snug, because unless it’s a moving/vibrating part or a safety critical fastener, it’s generally overkill to specify torque. (Including the threadripper torque wrench)

      I’m sure there are all sorts of cases where, if you really care, it matters quite a bit to get that extra 15 minutes of life out of the component by reducing vibrations with the perfect torque.

      But in reality yeah, snug is fine, and if it’s a really vibrate-y component with solid materials maybe you can upgrade that to tight.
