Fit the GPU Cooler
Apply thermal paste to the die surface of the GPU and to the exposed area of the heat pipes in the GPU mount. Carefully place the copper shim onto the centre of
the GPU then lower the cooler assembly onto the copper shim. The GPU mount arms can be adjusted for irregular hole spacing but in most cases the supplied
position will be suitable. Secure the cooler assembly to the graphics card using the 4 spring loaded screws making sure not to over or under tighten them. Typically
the correct pressure can be achieved when the tip of the spring screw is flush with the protruding side of the mounting nut.
The kit is also supplied with adhesive miniature heat sinks which are designed to provide additional cooling to components that would otherwise be cooled by the
airflow from the fan, specifically the VRAM, but other components can also be cooled. Apply the miniature heat sinks to the VRAM by peeling the protective backing
from the back of the heat sink and sticking them directly to the surface of the component.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Do not forget to apply thermal paste to all the
locations shown in the cooler assembly overview.
Failing to do so will result in poor heat transfer, high
temperatures and potential damage to the GPU.
