Mounting the backplate
Position the Intel backplate screws in the notches situated on the rear side
of the Intel backplate. Pay attention doing so to align with the holes drilled
for each socket.
For fixing the backplate screws onto the Intel backplate use the O-rings. Once
assembly of the Intel backplate for the respective Intel socket has been
completed, position it under the motherboard. In so doing make sure that the
Intel backplate screws are precisely located within the motherboard holes.
Installation of the mounting brackets
Screw the Intel spacer nut A onto the previously positioned Intel backplate.
Then position the Intel mounting brackets over the Intel spacer nut A and
affix these with the mounting bracket fastening screws. You can use the cross-
tip screwdriver for this.
Mounting the CPU cooler
First peel off the protective film from the underside of the cooler. Apply
thermal paste on the CPU surface. The tube contains enough for about 1 or 2
applications.
Caution: The thermal paste supplied should not be swallowed. If any is
swallowed, drink lots of water and urgently seek the advice of a doctor. Store
it beyond the reach of children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Place
the cooler onto the CPU unit. Then screw the mounting bridge alternately
tight. You can use the crosstip screwdriver for this.
Center the Silent Wings 135mm fan
from above. Then slide it into the recess between the heatsinks and press it
firmly. Connect both fans via the Y-cable.
You can adjust the height of the Silent Wings 135mm front fan by pushing it up
and down.

fans from each other by pulling off the Y-cable. Push the Silent Wings 135mm
