Product Installation

Product installation

The installation process has been described in a detailed way in the included manual, and you can find it online as well.

You start with the backplate. Most modern cases have a big cut-out for the CPU cooler, so there should be no need to pull the motherboard out to install the backplate. Speaking of which, it's best to secure it (with like sticky tape) before the next steps (plastic stand-offs installation or screwing the block).

To install the Permafrost, you will need to prepare the CPU block for mounting by attaching the necessary brackets.

Use the four spring-loaded thumbscrews, and tighten down fully in an X pattern to ensure equal pressure spread over the CPU. Mounting this kit on a socket 115x platform isn’t harder than with other All-In-One products, and I personally liked it.

For the sake of the review, we used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut as a thermal paste. With the paste applied, all that needs to be done is to slide the CPU block into place and secure it.
