4. Installation Requirements
1) Space Requirements
2) Air Guide Removal
3) Cooler Orientation
The cooler’s installation requires unobstructed space with dimensions of
140mm(width), 140mm(length), 155mm(height), and the CPU as a central
reference point. Please check if components such as ODDs and PSU protrude
into the required space.
Air guides on enclosures must be removed, before the cooler’s installation, for
they protrude into the cooler’s required space.
Zalman recommends installing the cooler so that the air channeled through the cooler
exits thought the rear of this case as shown below.
※Recommended cooler orientation may differ according to the motherboard model.
