Remove Heatsink
The motherboard or video card should be removed from the chassis in order
to install the chipset cooler. The mounting screws are inserted from the back
side of the board.
CAUTION: Removal of the original heat sink my void your

manufacturer’s hardware warranty. Please consult the
manufacturer if unsure, and keep all original parts in case of a
return/RMA. Koolance does not recommend using a liquid cooler
on motherboards or video cards that lack standard mounting holes,
or have heat sinks that are attached with only an adhesive (rather
than screws or bolts).
Screw-Mounted
Beneath the motherboard/video card, the
plastic tabs must be squeezed together
with needle-nose pliers in order to free the
original heat sink. (Some tabs have locking
center pins which must fi rst be removed
from the top.)
Retention Spring (Motherboards)
Remove the retention springs from the heatsink by
applying pressure with your fi nger until the spring
may be unclasped.
Apply Thermal Paste
Once loosened, remove the original
heat sink. Apply a thin layer of thermal
interface compound onto the chipset if
necessary.
Attach Mount Screws (If Applicable)
Through the original mounting
holes, insert both metal mounting
screws from the back of the board.
Make sure the plastic insulating
washers are placed on each screw.
Also place plastic insulating washers
on each screw on the front side of the
motherboard or video card. Tighten both
mounting screw posts to each screw by
hand. These will be used to secure the
cooler.
