Product Installation
It is now time to install the cooler; however, there is a twist to the installation that I will describe more below. So now we've reached the stage where we'll begin gently putting together a test setup. Everything you need is included. The LGA 1150x mounting kit, which we will be installing, may be seen here. Be quiet! redesigned the mounting kit a while ago, which we'll go over step-by-step in this tutorial. Opposed to a disproportionately big number of screws and other bits and pieces, installation is now very straightforward.
The first thing you need to do is put four pushpin screws through the rear mounting bracket; the bottom position is for socket 115x, and the upper position... well, it's not for socket 115x. It is important to remember to use a rubber washer, as seen in above. Insert the backplate Socket 115x into the socket. Simply ensure that the two gaps/holes are aligned with the motherboard socket screws before pushing the mounting pins through the gaps/holes.
We will now install four riser/standoff screws in this location, which will hold the back-plate firmly in place.
We now need to attach two horizontal mounting brackets to the block, each with two screws, to complete the installation. As previously demonstrated, it is fairly straightforward. Finally, we're ready to put the cooling block in its place.
