Please be careful when installing the cooling kit; there several very small fasteners that can be stropped if
you are not careful. Before you begin, please verify the contents of the box to ensure that the following
items present:
If you are an Intel LGA115X or 1366 user, please put Part G on the back of motherboard. Side standoffs to
line up with cooler mounting holes in your motherboard. Please skip this step for LGA20XX and AMD
motherboards; backplates are not used for LGA20XX sockets and AMD backplates are supplied with the
motherboard.

Next, screw the standoff into the backplate of the motherboard.
For LGA115X and LGA1366 sockets, please use the M3 thread
(Part B) to screw standoff into the baseplate. LGA20XX users
should use M4 thread (Part A) to screw standoff into the threaded
mounting holes at the corners of the socket’s retention clamps.
Use the UNC 6-32 threads (Part C & Part D) for the AMD platform.
