Fit the Motherboard to the Heat Sink

With the cooler assembly now fitted to the motherboard, apply thermal

paste to the exposed heat pipe area along the heat sink mount, then

carefully lower the motherboard onto the heat sink, aligning it with the 4

standoffs. Secure the motherboard to the standoffs using M3 screws

supplied.

Install the Heat Sink Mount Retention Bar

The final step in completing the CPU cooler assembly is fitting the

retention bar. This is used to apply pressure to the heat sink mount so that

there is good contact between the heat pipes and the heat sink.

To install the bar, slide it from the side of the case under the retention

bracket closest to the heat sink mount until it almost reaches the bracket

on the other side. The bar should also be position along the heat sink

mount in the slot furthest away from where the heat pipes enter. Apply

pressure to the top of the bar so that it bends and slide it under the

retention bracket. When correctly position, it will be evenly spaced at

both ends.

When installed correctly, the heat sink mount will be flat against the heat

sink when inspected from all sides. It is normal for the retention bar to be

curved as it applies force against the mount. If the mount is not parallel to

the heat sink, it should be adjusted to ensure the heat pipes are making

good contact with the heat sink.
