We recommend preparatory mounting of the cooler outside the PC case for subsequent installation.

The following parts are needed for this:

1x Dark Rock Pro 4 CPU cooler (1), 1x 135mm fan (2), 1x Silent Wings 3 120mm fan (3), 2x Intel mounting brackets (5), 1x cooler mounting bridge (8), 4x Intel spacer nut A (9), 4x mounting bracket fastening screws (12), 2x mounting bridge fastening screws (13), 1x cross-tip screwdriver (17), 1x thermal paste (18), 4x fan clips (19), 1x Y cable (20)

Assembly of the cooler mounting frame

First screw the Intel spacer nut A (9) onto the threads of the socket frame. Place the Intel mounting brackets (5) over the Intel spacer nuts and screw these tight with the mounting bracket fastening screws (12). You can use the cross-tip screwdriver (17) for this.

First remove the protective foil from the underside of the cooler. Spread the thermal paste (18) on the surface of the CPU. The amount supplied is sufficient for one or two applications.

The thermal paste supplied is not suitable for human consumption. If swallowed, drink lots of water and urgently seek medical attention. Keep it out of the reach of children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Loosen the heatpipe caps on the top as shown below by rotating them to the left.

Position the cooler mounting bridge (8) centrally on the cooler (1). Next place the cooler unit over the CPU. Insert the Mounting bridge fastening screws (13) from above into the cooler mounting bridge (8) and then screw these alternately tight. You can use the cross-tip screwdriver (17) for this. Subsequently retighten both heatpipe caps on the top side of the cooler.

Fasten the Silent Wings 3 120mm fan (3) using fan clips (19) onto the front side of the cooler. Slide the 135mm fan (2) between the two heatsinks and also fasten this with fan clips (19). Connect both fans using the the Y cable (20). Connect this to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

When dismantling the fans, push the notches of the fan clips (19) away from the fan.
