Assembly of the cooler
Place the cooler on the prepared Graphic card and then flip both over. Supplied with the cooler are two types of
screws.
No.4 - 8x screws M3x 8mm (for the GPU-Area)
No.5 - 5x screws M3x10mm (for the backplate)
Begin with the GPU area (see diagram) now screw the (No.4) screws using the supplied plastic washers into the
cooler.The screws are not to be tightened yet.
Now the Backplate can be attached to the underside of the card. The Backplate is fastened with the screws
(No.5) without washers. The screws should also not be tightened yet.
Now the screws within the GPU area can be tightened in
a crosswise fashion.
The remaining screws in the Backplate can now be tightened.
We generally recommend assembly with the Backplate.
If the cooler is to be installed without the Backplate, use 8mm screws (identical to the GPU) instead of the 10mm.
Installation and leak test
After the installation, a check and test run must be performed! The coolers are constructed on the reference
design, still, all sections of the board have to be checked for possible contact to the cooler. In addition, the contact
of the GPU to the cooler must be checked along with the bending of the board. A slight bending of the board is
normal.
A leak test should preferably be performed outside of the computer. If this is not possible, the hardware may not
be turned on during the test run!
Once all of the cooler elements were tested, the computer can be put into operation. Check the temperature of
the GPU immediately after the start!
General information
The HEATKILLER® GPU-X³ 5970 does not have a defined input and output. The cooling medium can stream in
or our on both sides.
Under normal circumstances it is not necessary to open the cooler. If you still want to do so, please use a
corresponding tool for Allen screws in industrial quality.
We recommend using demineralised or deionised water (distilled water) as cooling medium. To prevent the build-
up of algae, use common citric acid, which reliably prevents the spread of algae.
The cooler is fully crossfire-suited. To sett up a dual or triple crossfire system, we offer special connectors that
make connection of the coolers extremely easy.
