1. Preparing your graphics card
a. Remove the existing heat sink
b. Carefully clean the GPU (graphics processing unit)
c. Lightly coat the GPU with the provided thermal compound. Only a paper-thin coat is necessary. It should be applied using
preferably a razor blade, or a credit card, held between thumb and index at a 45-degree angle.
2. Installing the MCW50™ GPU Cooler
The MCW50™ retention mechanism can either use the two diagonal holes featured in many graphics cards such as ATI
 Radeon™ 9000
to 9700 families, or the four mounting holes found in NVidia  GeForce™ families of products. It can also be installed with other graphics
processors by using permanent bonding agents, such as thermally conductive epoxies. We recommend Arctic Silver™ or Arctic Alumina™
epoxy.
Install your block onto the graphics card, as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2 (p.5) according to your application. A “finger –
tight” lock is sufficient when tightening the spring retention assemblies. Over-tightening will squash the nylon screw spacer
body, and result in uneven pressure over the GPU.
