Assemble the GPU Cooler Assembly
The kit is supplied disassembled for shipping, so the CPU mount, heat sink mount and heat pipes must be assembled prior to attaching them to the graphics card.
Slide the heat pipes into the slots in the GPU mount and heat sink mount, the shorter side of the heat pipes into the GPU mount and the longer side into the heat
sink mount. We recommend starting with the heat sink mount as there is further for the heat pipes to travel and should they meet any resistance, they can be
rotated back and forth to help the insertion. There are 6 slots on the heat sink mount, we recommend using the centre 4 slots. Note that the heat pipes are fragile
and excess force will cause them to bend, so please take care when doing this.

When correctly assembled, the heat pipes should protrude slightly from the GPU mounts as shown below. For the heat sink mount, the depth of insertion will
depend on the GPU location in relation to the side panel and will need further adjustment when fitting the assembly to the case. The diagram also highlights where
thermal paste will need to be applied in the proceeding steps.
