Carefully lower the heatpipe/CPU mount assembly into the case and place it onto the CPU, ensuring the heatpipes only make contact with the heatsink once the
assembly is resting centrally on the CPU. Fit the 4 spring loaded screws to the motherboard (into the CPU mounting nuts), but do not fully tighten yet.
Secure the heatpipes to the heatsink using the 3 connector blocks, which are screwed from the outside of the case (between the fins). If any fine adjustment is
required, you can loosen the 4 HEX screws on the CPU mount which will allow the heatpipes to slide.
Once you are satisfied with the alignment of the full assembly, you can fully tighten all the screws. The spring loaded screws should not be over tightened, and only
require 4-5 turns from the point the spring start to compress.
Warning! Do not forget to use
thermal paste, as this will result
in poor heat transfer and
potential CPU damage.
