6. Installation
※ ZM-WB3 Gold must be installed with a specific grip that is
compatible with a particular PU socket. Refer to the table
on the right for the correct grip.
1) Intel Pentium 4 - 775
①Installing the lip Support for Socket 775
Align the clip support for socket 775 and the backplate for socket 775 with the mounting holes on the motherboard
and fasten them together using the lip Support Fixing Bolts. The Lever Slot on the lip Support should be properly
oriented on the hinged side of the Socket Lever when installing.
※ The Backplate Support is used for the
convenience of installation.
You can remove it if it is not
deemed necessary.
②Applying Thermal Grease
lean off particles and residue then spread a
generous amount of thermal grease thoroughly
on top of the PU.
※ Unlike the flat-milled base of the FHS, the top surface
of the LGA775 PU may have minute dips and peaks
causing pockets of non-contact between the FHS and
PU. Please apply a generous amount of Thermal
Grease on top of the PU.
③Installing the Grips and Bolts
Interlock the S-type grips with the clip.
Insert the two Bolts into the holes of the Grips.
④Installing the PU Water Block
Set the PU Water Block at the center of the PU.
Screw the Bolts in slightly, then tighten each Bolt a
few turns at a time while alternating between the two
until the Grips are completely pressed against
the lip Support.

generous amount of Thermal Grease thoroughly
on top of the PU.
②Installing the lip Supports for Socket 478
Install the lip Supports for Socket 478 on both
sides of the Retention Guide as shown in the
diagram on the right.
③Installing the Grips and Bolts
Interlock the L-type Grips with the lip.
Insert the two Bolts into the inner holes of the Grips.
④Installing the PU Water Block
Set the PU Water Block at the center of the PU.
Screw the Bolts in slightly, then tighten each Bolt a
few turns at a time while alternating between the
two until the lip Supports are completely pressed
against the Grips.

3) AMD Duron/Athlon/Athlon XP/Sempron - 462
①Installing the lip Supports for Socket 462
Install the lip Supports for Socket 462 on the motherboard,
while making sure that their locations are not swapped.
※ The A-type lip Support must be installed next to the lever.
Install in the order of : Bolts > Small Washers > Motherboard >
Small Washers > lip Supports.
②Applying Thermal Grease
lean off particles and residue then spread a thin
layer of Thermal Grease evenly on the PU core
(Only on the core’s surface that actually makes
contact with the Block Base).
③Installing the Grips and Bolts
Interlock the S-type Grips with the lip.
Insert the two Bolts into the holes of the Grips.
④Installing the PU Water Block
Set the PU Water Block at the center of the PU.
Screw the Bolts in slightly, then tighten each Bolt a
few turns at a time while alternating between the
two until the Grips are completely pressed against
the lip Supports.

4) AMD Sempron/AMD64 - 754/939/940
①Installing the Nipples
Place a Small Washer on the motherboard. Then, put a
Nipple over it and fasten the Nipple until the Backplate
for AMD64 is firmly attached to the motherboard on the
opposite side of the PU.
※ The Retention Guide is not necessary for installing the
ZM-WB3 Gold on a Socket 754/939/940.
②Applying Thermal Grease
lean off particles and residue then spread a
generous amount of Thermal Grease thoroughly on
top of the PU.
③Installing the Grips and Bolts
Interlock the L-type Grips with the lip.
Insert the two Bolts into the outer holes of the Grips.
④Installing the PU Water Block
Set the PU Water Block at the center of the PU.
Screw the Bolts in slightly, then tighten each Bolt a few
turns at a time while alternating between the two until
the Grips are completely pressed against the Nipples.
