Product Installation

Mounting the cooler is a relatively easy thing to do, though the motherboard back-plate will be more hard to install as you need to physically remove the existing back-plate of the motherboard. It is fairly easy to do, but for the avid end-user a little bit tricky. Above a the back-plate and cushion pad we need to install.
 

See the retention CPU clip ? That one is mounted to the existing back-plate with three screws. These three screws will need to be removed (tool included). 
 

Once done, you can remove the standard bracket, and replace it with the new one from EK. You simply re-use the screws.
 

Take you time here and take it slow, this is the most tricky part of the installation as the socket pins will be exposed during this procedure. As easy and simple as this installation is, it is also the most dangerous one. Once you seated the new back-plate on the backside, you line up and put back the CPU retention clip and secure it with the three screws.
