Installing Coolers
The chipset cooler is used for both motherboard northbridge and video card
chipsets. If installed, the motherboard must be partially removed from the chassis
in order to install the chipset cooler. (The mounting screws are inserted from the
back side of the board.)
Chipset Cooler on a Motherboard
CAUTION
:
Removal of the original heatsink my void your
manufacturer’s hardware warranty. Please consult the manufacturer if
unsure, and keep all original parts in case of a return/RMA. Koolance
does not recommend using a liquid cooler on video cards or
motherboards that lack standard mounting holes, or have heat sinks
that are attached with only an adhesive (rather than screws or bolts).
!
Beneath the motherboard, the plastic tabs
must be squeezed together with needle-
nose pliers in order to free the original heat
sink. (Some tabs have locking center pins
which must first be removed from the top.)
Once loosened, remove
the original heat sink.
Apply a thin layer of
thermal interface
compound onto the
chipset if necessary.
