3) AMD Sempron/AMD64 - Socket 754/939/940
※ When CNPS9500 is installed on an AMD system, the existing cooler installation framework (retention
frame, backplate, screws) is used for the installation.
①①
Install Clip
Refer to “How to Install the CNPS9500’s Clip” on page 3 to correctly install the clip ( -Type, ⑦ ) on
CNPS9500.

Separate Retention Frame Fixing Screws
Unscrew the screws that fix the existing retention frame onto its place.
③③
Apply Thermal Grease
Clean off particles and residue from the top
of the CPU. Then spread the included thermal
grease ( ⑦ ) thinly on top of the CPU.
④④
Place Cooler
Place CNPS9500 at the center of the CPU. Fasten the retention
frame fixing screws onto the backplate through the outer holes
of the clip ( -type, ⑦ ) slightly at first. Then, fasten the screws in
an alternating manner until the clip ( ⑦ )
is completely pressed against the
retention frame.
※ When installing CNPS9500 on a motherboard with horizontally-oriented
retention guide, take extra care not to let the screwdriver exert excessive
force on the fan.
If excessive force is exerted on the fan, it may cause a malfunction.
◈ Motherboards with Pushpin - type Retention Frame need the included
nipples (
⒃ ) and bolts ( ⑧ ) for installation of the cooler.
Remove the push-pins from the retention frame, and insert the nipples
(
⒃ ) into it. Fasten them to the backplate using the bolts ( ⑧ ) and follow
these steps in order :

10. 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
CNPS9500’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., td. is not responsible for any damage to systems or CPUs caused by using it
with other types of fans.
11. 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
CPU cooler.
2) Cautions During Booting
When booting the computer, it may automatically power down after an alarm sound by a system
monitoring program to indicate that the CPU fan is rotating slowly. If this happens, turn the speed
control knob fully clockwise to increase the fan speed. Then set ‘CPU Fan Detected’ to ‘Disabled’ in
BIOS settings, or set the slowest rotational speed of the CPU fan in the system monitoring program to
less than or equal to 1300rpm.
Note) Some motherboards do not boot if the rotational speed of the CPU fan is below a certain rpm.
If the BIOS settings are updated, Silent Mode can be used. For more information on updating
your BIOS, please refer to your motherboard manufacturer's website. Disabling CPU fan speed
detection in BIOS settings does not affect computer performance.
3) OVERCLOCKING
Zalman Tech Co., td. is not responsible for any damage resulting from CPU OVERC OCKING.
