1) Space Requirements
2) Air Guide Removal
The cooler’s installation requires an unobstructed space of 135㎜
(width), 100㎜(length), and 140㎜(height), with 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 since they protrude into the cooler’s required space.

1) Intel Socket 1155 / 1156 / 775 / 1366 Installation
①-ⓐ A-type Clip Support Installation(Socket 1155/1156/775)
Align the A-type Clip Support’s lever with the socket type and
fasten to the motherboard with pushpins.
5. Installation
3) Cooler Orientation
As shown in the diagram below,
it is recommended that the
cooler be installed so that air
flows from the cooler toward the
enclosure’s rear exhaust fan to
be released.
※ Recommended cooler
orientation may differ
according to the motherboard
model.

② Clear off any particles
or residue from the CPU’
s surface. Then spread a
thorough layer of Thermal
Grease on the CPU and the
base of the cooler.
①-ⓑ B-type Clip Support Installation(Socket 1366)
Fasten the B-type Clip Support to the motherboard with pushpins.

④ Install the cooler on the Clip support as shown in the picture and connect
the lug slot of the clip on to the lug on the clip support. Then fasten the
bolts on each side a few turns at a time.
⑤ Connect the cooler’s 4-pin connector to the motherboard’s CPU Fan Header.
When reassembling the bolt, be sure
to assemble only half way of the total
length.
