Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing the Accelero Xtreme III.
The Xtreme III is an upgrade cooler with an unparalleled
cooling/noise ratio, thus does not just offer superb GPU
temperatures but everything at a low noise level. A complete set
of VRM heatsinks and high performance thermal glue
completes this solution.
I hope you enjoy this GPU cooler and we at ARCTIC look
forward to further enriching your life with our products. If you
would like to share how you use ARCTIC's products please do
so at https://www.facebook.com/ARCTIC.en
ARCTIC is a fully carbon neutral company and your support
helps us to compensate every kilogram of CO we produce.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Magnus Huber
ARCTIC CEO

Secure this cooler onto the VGA card by partially fastening
each screw from A to B to C to D with two clockwise rotations.
Repeat this until you have tightened all screws. Do not
completely fasten any screw in one step.
M2 Screws
Check the pressure between the cooler's copper base and the
