Fit the CPU Cooler Mounting Nuts
The CPU cooler assembly will be secured to the motherboard using M3
nuts (4 in total) which must be fitted to the motherboard prior to installing
it inside the case. The nuts are held in place by adhesive pads which are
supplied with the nuts. Affix the adhesive pads to the CPU nuts in
preparation for fixing them to the motherboard. Note that an extra set of
adhesive pads are included should you wish to change your motherboard
in future.
With the motherboard turned upside down, located the CPU cooler
mounting holes. The hole position will vary depending on the brand and
model of CPU. Peel the protective film from the adhesive pads and stick
the nuts to the underside of the motherboard ensuring they correctly align
with the holes. The slightly raised rim of the nut should fit through the
motherboard and protrude slightly from the top side of the PCB.
Install the Motherboard
Carefully lower the motherboard into the case, with the I/O port side
leading so that the ports align with the I/O shield cutouts.
When the motherboard is correctly in position, secure it to the case
stand-offs using the screws provided. Ensure that all the holes correctly
align before fully tightening the screws.
