Product Installation

Mounting the cooler is a relatively easy thing to do, though the motherboard needs to come out of the chassis unless you have a chassis with a mainboard cutout for CPU cooling.

Now you first prepare the back-plate. We first apply the back-plate which we line up and install at the backside of the motherboard. Just push it through there. The back-plate is a bit wobbly to install though as the retention pins do not pass deep through the motherboard holes.

We install four standoff screws to the back-plate. You can see the four holes surrounding the socket, the bracket is pushed in there properly.

You are now almost there as the one thing left to do will be to mount the CPU block. Place the bracket over the standoff screws and secure these with four thumbscrews like shown in the photo above.

You need to connect the pump/fan RPM wire to a secondary or dedicated FAN header. All this is 15 minutes of work tops, we positioned the cooler and are ready for the first test run.
