Koolance CPU-305-V10 - Manual (Page 2)

AMD Socket 939, 754, & 940 Processors
The AMD 64 Adapter is designed for AMD Athlon 64, X2, FX,
and Opteron processors in socket 754, 940, and 939 formats.
The motherboard may need to be removed from the chassis
in order to install this device.
Various hardware comes with the Koolance AMD 64 Kit, and depending
on your particular motherboard, some of it may not be required.
AMD 64-bit boards have 2 primary mounting holes which the Adapter
will use.
Bracket
Clips
Plastic Spacers
Nuts
Long
Screws
Short Screws
Remove the black plastic retention frame from the
motherboard. Generally, this is held in place with 2
metal screws.
(If there are plastic tabs instead of screws, please
skip to the next paragraph.)
For motherboards with plastic tabs instead of
metal screws, turn the motherboard over and
push the center locking bolt inward with a small
fl at screw driver.
From the top side, pull up both plastic center
locking bolts.

Finally, squeeze the remaining tabs together beneath the board, and gently
push them through with long-nose pliers.
This should allow you to remove the CPU socket’s plastic rentention frame
from the motherboard.
The included bracket clips are used to mount the Cooler. Assemble
the bracket by inserting these clips into the center slider of the
CPU Cooler.
Apply thermal paste to the CPU directly. Spread the paste so that it
evenly covers the CPU. A piece of thick paper (such as a business
card) works well for this.
Ideally, the short screws with the Koolance AMD 64 Adapter kit are all
that will be required to mount the bracket. (These are standard ATX
chassis screws.)
However, if the socket’s backplate is a different design, the longer screws,
plastic spacers, and nuts may be needed to hold the bracket.

Despite the fi nal method of attachment, the Koolance AMD 64 Adapter
should utilize the original motherboard backplate. This is a necessary
component to avoid physical damage of the motherboard or CPU.
