GlacialTech Alaska CPU Cooler AMD/Intel
Version 01/11
Item no. 97 53 58
Intended use
1.
The product is used for cooling the CPU on the mainboard of a computer. Operating heat is dissipated via
a cooling element which is air-cooled by a high-performance fan. The product is designed for cooling Intel
processors (LGA 775, 1156, 1366) and AMD processors (AMD 754, 939, 940, AM2, AM2+, AM3).
Unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the device are inadmissible because of safety and approval
reasons (CE). Any usage other than described above is not permitted and can damage the product and lead to
associated risks such as short-circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. Please read the operating instructions thoroughly
and keep them for further reference.

Safety instructions
3.
We do not assume liability for resulting damages to property or personal injury if the
product has been abused in any way or damaged by improper use or failure to observe
these operating instructions. The warranty/ guarantee will then expire!
The icon with exclamation mark indicates important information in the operating
instructions. Carefully read the whole operating instructions before operating the device,
otherwise there is risk of danger.
Persons / Product
The product is not a toy and should be kept out of reach of children!
•
Do not leave packaging material lying scattered about unattended. It might become dangerous toys for
•
children.
If the heat-conductive paste come into contact with skin, wipe it off with a dry cloth and then clean the area
•
thoroughly with warm water and soap. In case the heat-conductive paste contacts with the eye, flood the
affected eye immediately with warm water. Then consult a doctor immediately.
When used in conjunction with other devices, observe the operating instructions and safety notices of
•
connected devices.
The product must not be subjected to heavy mechanical stress.
•
The product must not be exposed it to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, intense vibration, or
•
dampness.
The thermal paste should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads.
•
When replacing cooling element, do not use the old thermal paste/ pad. Remove all remnants of the old
•
thermal paste/ pad. Apply new thermal paste/ pad before reinstalling another cooling element.
Only a thin and evenly distributed layer of thermal paste should be placed between the processor and
•
the cooler.
Never place any object between the processor and the cooler! Due to the greater displacement in between
•
will decrease cooling effect; the processor will overheat and be permanently damaged.
Miscellaneous
In industrial facilities, the safety regulations laid down by the professional trade association for electrical
•
equipment and facilities must be adhered to.
When in doubt about how to install the device correctly, please contact an expert or a specialist workshop
•
and let them carry out the installation.
Servicing, adjustment or repair works must only be carried out by a specialist/ specialist workshop.
•
If any questions arise that are not answered in this operating instruction, contact our Technical Advisory
•
Service or other experts.
Installation
4.
Before installing the CPU cooling element, make sure to turn off the computer, switch off
the main switch on the back of the power supply unit and unplug the mains plug. Since
voltage is present even when the computer is switched off, there is a risk of electric shock
when touching electric components inside.
Installation slightly differs depending on whether the fan is installed to replace an existing “old“ fan, or if you
want to assemble a new computer.
Removing existing CPU cooler
Ground yourself with a grounding mat or anti-static wristbands to prevent electrical static discharge (ESD)
1.
from your body and clothes during installation. Integrated circuits are sensitive to electrical static. They can
be damaged or destroyed if ESD occurred.
Open the computer housing, remove the motherboard and extract the old CPU cooler carefully.
2.
Remove any remaining heat-conductive paste or heat-conductive foil completely from the surface of the CPU.
3.
For this, use a soft object only and be very cautious as otherwise the CPU may be permanently damaged!
New Installation
You will find pictures of the individual parts and illustrations for each installation step in the
included manufacturer’s operating instructions.
When assembling a new computer, put the lever of the ZIF socket into the vertical position, insert the CPU
1.
correctly (and carefully) and close the ZIF socket again.
Position the motherboard on a smooth, flat service. To protect the surface (e.g. writing-desk), insert a piece
2.
of cardboard between the motherboard and surface.
Attach the two fan mounting brackets to the heatsink.
3.
Apply a thin, even layer of the heat-conductive paste to the top of the processor chip. Use the spatula for this.
4.
Do not subsequently touch the heat-conductive paste, as parts of the CPU surface would otherwise have
no heat-conductive contact. This creates the risk of overheating and destruction of the CPU, and the loss of
the guarantee/warranty!
Attach the mounting brackets using the four M3 screws on the underside of the heatsink.
5.
Select the appropriate shim and remove the protective film from the double-sided adhesive tape. Attach the
6.
shim to the mainboard in the correct position.
Attach the heatsink to the mainboard using the four Intel or AMD screws.
7.
Attach the fan to the heatsink using the previously attached fan mounting brackets.
8.
Completion
Connect the 4-pin plug to the CPU fan connection on the motherboard. For the exact position of the
1.
connection, please refer to the operating instructions for the motherboard. The connection may be labelled
“CPUFAN1” or similar.
Secure all cables by means of one or several cable ties so that they cannot become entangled in one of
2.
the computer’s fans.
Install the motherboard in the computer housing. Do not hold the motherboard by the CPU cooler.
3.
Close the computer housing again and connect the computer to the mains supply.
4.
Tips and hints
5.
If you do not possess expertise for installing this cooler, leave the task of assembly to a trained technician,
•
or technical workshop. This will be cheaper than damaged or destroyed components of your motherboard!
If the cooler may have to be removed at any point, heat sink and chip must be properly cleansed of all
•
residual heat-conductive paste before reinstallation.
Due to the electric conductivity of special heat-conductive pastes, the motherboard could be short-circuited
•
if any of the paste were to come into contact with the motherboard, or the contacts of sockets! Respective
components may be destroyed!
The heat-conductive thermal compound paste is only suitable for single usage! To remount the cooler
•
again, please use a suitable heat-conductive paste and apply it to the topside of the chip (a layer of approx.
0.1 – 0.2 mm thickness is sufficient).
Disposal
6.
In order to preserve, protect and improve the quality of environment, protect human health and
utilise natural resources prudently and rationally, the user should return unserviceable product to
relevant facilities in accordance with statutory regulations.
The crossed-out wheeled bin indicates the product needs to be disposed separately and not as
municipal waste.
