To install the ISGC-300 on AMD CPUs (sockets AM3, AM2+ and AM2 only) you must use the hardware shown in Figure 11, installing the backplate behind the motherboard.

The clips shown in Figure 12 are used to install the ISGC-300 over the Intel socket 775 and socket 1366 CPUs. In this case, there is no backplate: you must attach the holders using nuts and silicon washers under the motherboard. So, unless your case offers access to the motherboard back side, it is necessary to remove the motherboard from the chassis in order to install the cooler.

In Figure 13, you can see how the base cooler with the socket 775 clips looks installed, as well as the four rubber washers that protect the motherboard.

Once installed on the motherboard, we have an idea of the size of the ISGC-300.

Finally, in Figure 15 we can see how the cooler looks installed in the case. As with any other 120 mm fan tower cooler, it will not fit slim cases.
