7. Installation (Intel Socket 775)

1) All CPUs conforming to Intel Socket 775 platform

2) All CPUs conforming to AMD Socket AM2/754/939/940 platform

Caution)

No motherboard components such as the PSU, disk drives, VGA card, and RAM with a height
greater than 39mm should be present within a 61.5mm radius from the center of the CPU.

1) Clip Support Installation

Align the Clip Support for Socket 775(⑩) and the Backplate for Socket 775(⑪) with the mounting holes on the
motherboard and fasten them together with the Clip Support Fixing Bolts(⑨). The Lever Slot on the Clip Support

for Socket 775 should be properly oriented on the hinged side of the Socket Lever when installing.
※ If the Lug of the Clip Support for Socket 775 interferes with any motherboard components, install the Clip

Support for Socket 775 with the Lug facing a different direction to avoid interference.

4) Cooler Installation

Slide the Clip Lever(⑧) onto the Clip’s(⑦) Groove for Intel. Align and connect the Clip’s Lug Slot with the

Arrow Marked Lug on the Clip Support for Socket 775. Press onto the Clip Lever when aligning the Lever’s Slot

with the Lug. Make sure that the cooler is installed on the center of the CPU.

5) Power Connection (Fan Mate 2 Connection)

◆ Please refer to Fan Mate 2 Installation and Usage on page 6.

2) Clip Installation

Insert the Clip(⑦) between the Heatpipes. Turn the Clip so that the central hole comes in alignment with the
Base Cover’s projecting part. Now attach the Clip so that its central hole slides over the projecting part of the

Base Cover. Do not exert any excessive force on the fan during the Clip installation. Excessive force on the fan

could lead to product damage.

3) Thermal Grease Application

Clear off particles or any residue from the top of the CPU then

spread a sufficient amount of the included Thermal Grease(②) on

top of the CPU.

9. FAN MATE 2 Installation and Usage

1) FAN MATE 2 installation inside a System 2) FAN MATE 2 installation on the outside of a system

Connect the two 3-pin connectors of the
cable to the motherboard and to
CNPS8700’s Fan Connector as shown in
the diagram.

Pull the 6-Pin Connector out of the system
through the back and connect it to FAN
MATE 2, which should be installed on the
case using the included Double-sided tape.

◆The fan operates in Silent Mode when the speed control knob of FAN MATE 2 is fully turned in the
counter-clockwise direction. The fan operates in Normal Mode when the speed control knob of FAN
MATE 2 is fully turned in the clock-wise direction. The fan speed can be controlled according to user
preference by adjusting the speed control knob.

Note) FAN MATE 2 has been specifically designed for the fan of this product.

Zalman Tech Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damages to the system or CPU resulting
from its use with other types of fans.

10. Notes on Usage

1) Checking CPU Compatibility

Please refer to “Compatible CPUs”on page 3 to confirm that your CPU is compatible with
CNPS8700 before using it.

2) Cautions During Booting

The computer system may automatically shut down when booting the computer after the system
monitoring program outputs a warning stating that the CPU fan is rotating slowly. In such a case,
fully turn the speed control knob in the clockwise direction before rebooting to disable the ‘CPU Fan
Detected’ option in BIOS, or set the CPU fan’s rotational speed to 1,150rpm or lower in the system
monitoring program.

Note) Some motherboards fail to boot if the rotational speed of the CPU fan is below a certain rpm.

However, booting can be possible even at low fan rpm if the BIOS settings are updated. For
more information on updating your BIOS, please refer to the website of the motherboard
manufacturer. There are motherboards which fail to detect the rpm while operating the cooler
in Silent Mode, but this does not affect computing performance.

3) OVERCLOCKING

Zaman Tech Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damages to the system and CPU resulting from
overclocking.
