PREPARING YOUR MOTHERBOARD

Mosfet screws

REMOVING BACKPLATE AND STOCK COOLER

Remove all encircled screws. There are seven (7) screws on the back
of the motherboard that needs to be removed in order to remove the
factory installed mosfet heat pipe cooling solution. Do not forget to
unplug the fan connector.

Remove two (2) additional screws to remove the factory provided
Backplate. Make sure to disconnect all the LED-s connectors.

I/O COVER SCREEN: From the side par t of mosfet heat pipe,
unscrew the five (5) screws in order to remove the I/O cover screen.
Disconnect all the screen connectors and take off the I/O cover
screen. Store the screen, standoffs, screws for later use.

APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

Apply thermal compound on CPU heat spreader (IHS) with enclosed
EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease. The quantity of about two rice
grains is just about right. There is no need to cover the whole IHS.
Applying too much thermal grease will have negative impact on the
cooling performance!
