Koolance VID-398 - Manual

NOTE: The video card should be removed from the chassis in order to install this
cooling device.
CAUTION: Removal of the original heat sink my void your manufac-
turer’s hardware warranty. Please consult the manufacturer if unsure,
and keep all original parts in case of a return/RMA.

Most cards using the VID-series blocks are
disassembled the same way, although heat sink
assemblies of any given model can vary.
The spring-screws on the bottom side should be
removed fi rst. There should be 8-12 of these on the
video card. There may also be smaller mounting
screws on the side of the L-bracket.

Connecting VID Coolers in SLI
When connecting VID coolers in series (such as in SLI), Koolance offers an optional
direct-connect nozzle. This minimizes liquid routing while avoiding potential confl icts
with hardware in between the video cards.

Optional Two Slot Dual Video Connector
(Koolance CNT-VD2)
Optional Three Slot Dual Video Connector

The heat sink and fan can now be carefully removed. Original thermal paste
may present additional resistance while removing the heat sink. Unplug the heat
sink fan wire. Remove the original RAM thermal transfer material, and wipe any
residual thermal material from the main GPU chipset.
