Installation
Hardware Secrets Bronze Award

Hyper 212 Plus installation is a little bit complicated. For both Intel and AMD processors you must use the same clip and the same backplate. The clip that stays over the base of the cooler moves like a pair of scissors, adapting itself for AMD or Intel CPU installation.

In Figure 13 we can see the backplate in place. For AMD CPUs the other face of the backplate is used. The nuts are tightened by a small tool that comes with the cooler and that allows you to use a Phillips screwdriver in this procedure. After installing the backplate the rest of the installation is simple.

In Figure 14 we can see the "scissors clip" over the base of the cooler.
