Preparation of the Graphic card

Remove the original cooler element as well as all remnants of Heat-conductive pads.
The pre-cut Pads are now, as shown in the diagram to be applied to the Graphic card.In general a protective
plastic film is applied to both sides of the pads, these must be removed prior to assembly.
The assembly package is numbered accordingly. Pay attention to apply the correct Pads to the components.
No.1 – Heat-conductive pad 0,25mm high
No.2 – Heat-conductive pad 0,50mm high
No.3 – Heat-conductive pad 0,75mm high
Instead of the Heat-conductive pad a non conductive thermal compound can be used, we recommends however
the use of the enclosed Pads.
The GPU area should be spread evenly with a thermal compound.
