Installation
Hardware Secrets Bronze Award

BigTyp 14Pro installation with AMD CPUs is very simple: just put the cooler over the processor and then put the holding clip, shown on Figure 10.

The installation on Intel socket 775 processors, however, is more complicated. First, you must screw the two brackets shown on Figure 11 to the cooler base. So it is necessary to remove the motherboard from the case, put the cooler in place and then attach four nuts, using the rubber and plastic washers to avoid short-circuits and motherboard damage. Then you can reinstall the motherboard back to the case, but due to the size from this cooler it will be difficult to install the ATX12V plug and the motherboard screw near the power supply. However, if your case has a "window" on the motherboard tray to allow access to the cooler holes, you will have no need of removing the motherboard.

On Figures 12, 13 and 14 you can see how this cooler looks like after installed. Thanks to the distance from the base to the heatsink it does not interfere with other components from the motherboard, so you can use it with memory modules with large heatsinks. However, if in your chassis the power supply stays too close to the motherboard, the size of the fan can make the installation difficult or even impossible. In other words, this cooler is good for full tower cases, where power supply keeps a good distance from the motherboard edge.
