Asus Silent Knight - Manual (Page 3)

- Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install the Silent Knight CPU Cooler.
1.Make sure to turn off your computer and unplug the cable from the power source before installing
CPU Cooler.
2.Install the CPU before you install the CPU Cooler.
3.Remove the chassis fan or the air duct on the chassis side panel to clear the air path, if necessary.
4.Remove default retention socket on the motherboard, if there is any, before install the CPU cooler.
- Installation Procedures
1.Check the type of universal back plate for Intel/AMD.
Aim for the 4 apertures to screw holes of Intel 478/775
、
AM2 ； Aim for the 2 apertures to screw holes of
AMD 939/940, and position the back plate underneath the
motherboard.
(Note: Please skip this step if there is already a back plate
underneath the motherboard.)
2.Apply an adequate layer of the thermal grease onto
the surface of the installed CPU.
3.Assemble the universal retention bracket :
Insert the Stand-offs into the screw holes of retention bracket.
- Intel 478/775 processor :
use four Intel screws and stand-offs to 478/775 screw holes, as shown in figure 3.1.
- AMD 939/940 processor :
use two 939/940 screws and stand-offs, as shown in figure 3.2.
- AMD AM2 processor :
use four AM2 screws and stand-offs, as shown in figure 3.3.
Note :
Since every Motherboard is designed differently, ASUS provides
you the AMD vertical converter as an option to reposition and
guide hot air to the chassis, real panel.
(But only under the condition that there is no mechanical
interference; as shown in figure 4.1)
5.Place the retention bracket on the motherboard.
Fasten the retention module with screws. Use a
screw driver to tighten the screws in a diagonal
sequence until everything is firmly in place.
