Cooling system
These are the following parts of cooling system:
1.Lower CPU plate
2.Upper CPU plate (Intel or AMD)
3.Standard or short Heat Pipes (Attention: heat pipes are numbered.)
4.Heatsink blocks with thread.
5.Four screws for Cooling system (M3x10)
6.Thermal paste. (Supplied)
Most recent ITX motherboards have CPU socket close to right side of motherboard like ASRock
motherboard used in this manual. Such motherboards require short cooling pipes; HP4-97, sold
separately. Standard pipes are too long for this motherboard. They will extend ~17mm. There is no
problem with this particular motherboard, but other models may have tall object on line of pipes and
conflict with them. If your current motherboard require short pipes, please add them to your order.
Please keep your standard pipes for future motherboards with CPU in different location.

DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY SCREWS UNTIL INSTALLATION IS FINISHED.
First assembly cooling system without paste, to find out the best position for pipes but do not tighten
screws yet. Next put it on CPU allign with CPU and move pipes toward or away from radiator if
nesesary.
Apply small amount of thermal paste on CPU
and put lower plate on CPU.
Apply thermal paste on both sides of thermal
pipes (3) and install pipes 1 and 2 first. Do not
tighten any screws yet. Than install pipes 3 and
4. Do not tighten any screws.
After setting position of pipes between plates,
remove upper plate, apply small amount of
thermal paste in groves on lower plate, set
pipes, apply small amount of thermal paste on
top of pipes and put upper plate back. Now,
even you have to move pipes a little you will
have clean assembly.
