Caution: The SecuFirm tm 2 mounting system requires a back-
plate, which is preinstalled on most AM2/AM2+/AM3 main-
boards.
If your mainboard doesn’t have a backplate, please contact our
support team at [email protected].
Step 4:
Applying thermal paste
If there are residual traces of thermal paste or thermal pads on
your CPU, please clean them off first.
Then press a small drop (4-5mm diameter) of NT-H1 onto the
centre of the heat-spreader.
Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower the heat
conductivity and cooling performance!
Removing the retention module
Step 1:
If your mainboard uses a retention module for CPU cooler in-
stallation, please remove it first. The
SecuFirm tm 2 mounting
system will install directly to your mainboard’s stock backplate
on the rear side of the socket.
