8. Installation
1) Intel Pentium D / Pentium - Socket 775
①①
Backplate Installation
Remove the protective film of theBackplate for
Socket 775, and attach the backplate after
aligning it with the holes from the backside of
motherboard.
②②
Thermal Grease Application
Clear off any particles and residue from the top
of the CPU then spread the enclosed Thermal
Grease generously on the surface of the CPU
that makes contact with the base of CNPS8000.
③③
Clip Installation
Inter rock the pair of Clips for socket 775 by
sliding them into each other between the
heatsink's base and fin.
Caution) The arrowhead marking on each clip must
be in line with the arrowhead markings on
the heatsink's base.
④④
Cooler Installation
Place the CNPS8000 on the center of the CPU.
Slightly screw the four bolts onto the backplate’s
nipples, then tighten each bolt one rotation at a
time until all are completely tightened.
Note 1) Excessive force can result in damage to the
nipples.
Note 2) Exerting excessive force on the fan with the
driver can result in malfunction.

2) AMD Sempron / AMD6 - Socket 75 /939/9 0
①①
Thermal Grease Application
Clear off any particles and residue from the top
of the CPU then spread the enclosed Thermal
Grease thinly on the surface of the CPU that
makes contact with the base of CNPS8000.
②②
Clip Installation
Inter rock the pair of Clips for AMD 6 by sliding them into each other between the heatsink's base and fin.
Caution) The arrowhead marking on each clip must be in line with the arrowhead markings on the heatsink's base.
③③
Cooler Installation
Hook the hole of Clip-B onto the retention frame’s lug. Then hook the hole of Clip-A onto the retention
frame’s lug by pressing down on the lever of the Clip-A.
Note ) Set the direction of the Clips in a manner so that there is no interference with other components
of the motherboard.
Uninstalling the Cooler
To uninstall the CNPS8000, press onto the clip slot with the use of a ( -) driver, then push off the
lever to disconnect the clip hole from the retention frame’s lug.

10. Notes on Usage
1) Checking CPU Compatibility
Please refer to “Compatible CPUs” on page 3 to confirm that your CPU is compatible before using the
CNPS8000.
2) Cautions During Booting
The computer system may automatically shut down when booting the computer after the system
monitoring program outputs a warning stating that the CPU fan is rotating slowly. In such a case, fully
turn the speed control knob in the clockwise direction before booting to disable the ‘CPU Fan Detected’
option in BIOS setting, or set the CPU fan’s rotational speed to less than or equal to 1300rpm in the
system monitoring program.
Note) Some motherboards fail to boot if the rotational speed of the CPU fan is below a certain rpm.
However, booting can be possible even at low fan rpm if the BIOS settings are updated.
For more information on updating your BIOS, please refer to the website of your motherboard
manufacturer.
There are motherboards which fail to detect the rpm while operating the cooler on Silent Mode, but
this does not affect computing performance.
3) OVERCLOCKING
Zalman Tech Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damages in CPU resulting from OVERCLOCKING.
9. FAN MATE 2 Installation and Usage
1) Installing FAN MATE 2 on the Inside of the System 2) Installing FAN MATE 2 on the Outside of the System
Connect the appropriate 3-pin connector on the
cable to the motherboard fan header and the
CNPS8000’s fan connector.
Pull the 6-pin connector out of the system
through the back and connect it to FAN MATE 2,
which should be installed on the case using the
included double-sided tape (⑤).
◆When the speed control knob on FAN MATE 2 is turned fully counter-clockwise, the fan operates in
Silent Mode. Turned fully clockwise, it operates in Normal Mode. You can select the desired fan speed
by turning the knob.
Note) FAN MATE 2 has been specifically designed for the fan of this product.
Zalman Tech Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damage to systems or CPUs caused by using it
with other types of fans.

13. Home Theatre PC Enclosures
TNN Computer Enclosures are the world’s first environment-friendly noiseless computer enclosures
that operate without the use of a fan. TNN Computer Enclosures use the aluminum enclosure itself
as a heatsink. They are ideal for environments that require silence, as well as for home theatre
systems and multi-media systems.
The HD160 is designed for ultra quiet home theatre
PC operation, utilizing optimized ventilation and
anti-vibration reinforcements, making it ideal for
environments that require silence such as living
rooms, bedrooms, educational facilities, and offices.
