First remove the protective foil from the underside of the cooler. Spread the thermal paste 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.
Position the cooler mounting bridge centrally on the cooler. Next place the cooler unit onto the CPU. Insert the mounting bridge fastening screws from above into the cooler mounting bridge and then screw these alternately tight.
Fasten the 120mm fan onto the cooler unit using fan clips. Connect the fan to the motherboard's PWM signal.
When dismantling the fan, push the notches of the fan clips towards the CPU cooler and unhook them.
