cooler. Spread the thermal paste (13) on the surface of the
CPU. The amount supplied is sufficient for one or two
applications.
Connect the fan to the CPU fan connector on the
motherboard.
Position the cooler and attach the cooler by screwing together
the M3x15 screws (7)
from the rear side of the motherboard with the hexagonal nuts
with sleeve (5) attached to the cooler.
Connect the fan to the CPU fan connector on the
motherboard.
Position the cooler on the CPU.
Place the Intel hexagonal nuts (11) over the LGA 2011(-3)
square ILM spacer nuts (10) and progressively tighten these
in a crosswise manner until firm using the hexagonal

General
We recommend mounting the cooler outside the PC case.
The following parts are needed for this:
1x be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 CPU cooler (1), 2x Intel mounting
brackets (4), 4x LGA 2011(-3) square ILM spacer nuts (10), 4x
M3x3 screws (8), 4x Intel hexagonal nut (11), 1x hexagonal
spanner (12) ,1x thermal paste (13)
First screw the LGA 2011(-3) square ILM spacer nuts (10) onto
the threads of the LGA 2011(-3) square ILM socket frame. Use
the hexagonal spanner (12) for this.
Installation of the mounting brackets
Attach the two Intel mounting brackets (4) to the underside of
the CPU cooler using the M3x3 screws (8).
Mounting the CPU cooler
First remove the protective foil from the underside of the
cooler. Spread the thermal paste (13) on the surface of the

applications.
General
With pre-mounted motherboards we recommend installing
the cooler inside the PC case over the motherboard cutout.
The following parts are needed for this:
1x be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 CPU cooler (1), 1x back plate (3),
2x Intel mounting brackets (4), 4x hexagonal nut with sleeve
(5), 4x M3x15 screws (7), 4x M3x3 screws (8), 4x C profile
spacers (9), 4x Intel hexagonal nut (11), 1x thermal paste (13)
Affixing the back plate
Position the back plate (3) horizontally on the rear side the
motherboard. Then insert the M3x15 screws (7) through the
drill holes situated on the rear side of the back plate.
Fasten the back plate on the front side of the motherboard
using the C-profile spacers (9) by pressing these onto the
notches in the M3x15 screws (7) until they click in.
Assembly of the mounting brackets
Insert the hexagonal nut with sleeve (5) from below through
the Intel mounting bracket (4) and screw together from above
with the Intel hexagonal nut (11). Use the hexagonal spanner
(12) for this.

Installation of the mounting brackets
Attach the two Intel mounting brackets (4) to the underside of
the CPU cooler using the M3x3 screws (8).
Mounting the CPU cooler
First remove the protective foil from the underside of the
cooler. Spread the thermal paste (13) on the surface of the
CPU. The amount supplied is sufficient for one or two
applications.
Connect the fan to the CPU fan connector on the
motherboard.
Position the cooler and attach the cooler by screwing together
the M3x15 screws (7)
from the rear side of the motherboard with the hexagonal nuts
with sleeve (5) attached to the cooler.
Connect the fan to the CPU fan connector on the
motherboard.
Position the cooler on the CPU.
Place the Intel hexagonal nuts (11) over the LGA 2011(-3)
square ILM spacer nuts (10) and progressively tighten these
in a crosswise manner until firm using the hexagonal
spanner (12).

Assembly of the mounting brackets
Attach the two AMD mounting brackets (6) to the underside of
the CPU cooler using the M3x3 screws (8).
Mounting the CPU cooler
First remove the protective foil from the underside of the
cooler. Spread the thermal paste (13) on the surface of the
CPU. The amount supplied is sufficient for one or two
applications.
Connect the fan to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.
Position the cooler on the CPU and affix by screwing together
the M3x15 screws (7) from the rear side of the motherboard
with the AMD mounting brackets (6) attached to the cooler.
General
With pre-mounted motherboards we recommend installing
the cooler inside the PC case over the motherboard cutout.
The following parts are needed for this:
1x be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 CPU cooler (1), 1x back plate (3),
2x AMD mounting brackets (6), 4x M3x15 screws (7), 4x M3x3
screws (8), 4x C profile spacers (9), 1x thermal paste (13)
Removal of the AMD retention module
Before you are able to install the CPU cooler, you must first
remove the pre-assembled AMD retention module from the
motherboard. To do this remove the four screws from around
the socket.
Affixing the back plate
Position the back plate (3) vertically on the rear side of the
motherboard. Then insert the M3x15 screws (7) through the
drill holes situated on the rear side of the back plate.
Fasten the back plate on the front side of the motherboard
using the C-profile spacers (9) by pressing these onto the
notches in the M3x15 screws (7) until they click in.
