Installation
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

To install this cooler on AMD CPUs you just need to fasten the preinstalled clips in the existing motherboard frame. You can see this clips in Figure 11.

But to install it on Intel socket 775 CPUs you must first install a frame on the motheboard. It uses a backplate on the solder side of the motherboard. In Figure 12 we can see the parts, as well as a long tool to help install and remove the cooler.

In Figure 13, you can see how the cooler looks when installed on our motherboard. We almost could not install it in this position, because the motherboard chipset heatsink interfered with the clip tip.

As every tower cooler with 120 mm fan, it will not fit slim (nor SFF) cases.

In Figure 15, you can see the beautiful glow of the fan.
