Required mounting parts:
STEP 3:
-
Applying thermal paste
-
If there are residual traces of thermal paste or thermal pads on your CPU, please clean them off first.
-
Then press 9 small drops (4-6mm diameter) of Archon TR4 onto the heat spreader in a TR4 pattern as shown below:
-
Continue by adding 4 more drops (5-6mm diameter) of Silver Arrow TR4 in a square pattern at the center as shown below:
-
Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower heat conductivity
STEP 4:
Attaching the 4 pieces of Anti-Vibration Pads and fan clips
STEP 5: Attaching cooler crossbar to mount with M3L7 screws
Required mounting parts: M3L7 screws x2
Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but don’t use excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).
STEP 6: Attaching TY-143 fan and fan clips
Fan clips install start from the bottom to the top
Required mounting parts:
Extra fan clips step:
“Caution, right and left fan clips are not the same! When facing the front of the cooler the right side fan clip is labeled red and the left side fan clip is labeled white. All white labeled left side fan clips go on the left side of the cooler and all red labeled right side fan clips go on the right side of the cooler including the optional rear fan.”
