Remove the bottom panel
With the case turned upside down, remove the 4 screws securing the bottom
panel in place and lift off.

Remove the front, back and side panels
Remove the front and back panels which are secured to the top panel by 4
screws (2 each). With the front and back removed, the side panels will be free to
lift up.

Prepare the NUC motherboard
Before fitting the motherboard, remove the stock fan and cooler which is
secured by 5 screws, 2 for the fan, 3 for the cooler. Clean any residual thermal
paste from the CPU.
The chipset connects to the cooler assembly with a thermal pad, ensure that
this remains on the chipset as it is ESSENTIAL for connecting to the Streacom
cooler mount.
Thermal Pad

Install the CPU mount
Apply thermal paste to the CPU, ensure the thermal pad is located on the
chipset IC, then secure the cooler mount to the motherboard by the 3 screws as
shown. Do not over tighten the screws and ensure equal load is applied to all 3
screws (so that the cooler mount sits flat against the CPU).
Thermal Paste Thermal Pad

Fit the motherboard to the top panel
With the cooler mount fixed to the motherboard, apply thermal paste to its
upper surface, then secure the motherboard to the top panel using the 4 screws
at each corner. Ensure correct orientation of the motherboard by checking that
the motherboard power switch aligns with the top panel power button.
Thermal Paste

Fit the front, back and side panels
Reverse the earlier process of removing the side panels and position them in
the top panel slots , then secure the front and back panels with the 4 screws.
If you are using internal WiFi, the antenna should be fixed to the acrylic side
panels for optimal performance.
All other components such as RAM, MSATA, etc should be installed prior to
fitting the bottom panel.

Fit the bottom panel to complete the build
With all components fitted, all that remains is to fit the bottom panel using the 4
screws shown.
Connect, power, video and accessories, then you are ready to go!
