Check compatibility and prepare graphics card
Check compatibility
Before starting the cooler assembly, compare your card with the pictures in
our configurator.
To do so, visit https://www.hwconfig.com and search for your graphics card or
cooler model. For a definitiv identification, you can also compare the PCB
number. The cooler was designed for a special PCB layout. Occasionally,
graphics card manufacturers may revise the
design of their card slightly, causing the cooler not to fit on later models.
During assembly, please make sure taller parts have enough space around them
and that the cooler does not damage your graphics card.
Alphacool International GmbH is not liable for assembly errors occurring due to negligence, such as selecting an incompatible cooler.
Prepare graphics card
Put the hardware on an antistatic mat. Begin dismantling the original cooler.
Depending on
the structure of the cooler, remove the screws at the back of the card and
carefully unhook the fan connector first. If the original cooler uses thermal
glue, extreme care should be taken as you can easily damage parts. Pick up all
the
items carefully. Next, clean the hardware of thermal paste or pad residues
with a solvent (e.g. isopropanol alcohol).
