02. Intel & AMD Compatibility

Component usage varies by CPU socket type:

• Intel LGA 1366/115X/775: Requires C, D, E, F, J, K, P, R
• Intel LGA 2066/2011/2011-v3: Requires I, J, K, P, R
• AMD: Requires C, D, E, G, J, K, Q, R

03. Intel - LGA 1366/115X/775 Installation

Follow these steps for Intel LGA 1366, 115X, and 775 sockets:

1. Attach Intel mounting brackets (F) to the backplate (D) using Intel mounting screws (E).
2. Place the backplate (D) onto the motherboard, aligning it with the CPU socket mounting holes.
3. Secure the backplate with the provided standoffs (C).
4. Attach the Intel mounting arms (P) to the motherboard using screws (R) and the wrench (J). Ensure correct orientation for the specific LGA type (775, 115x, 2066/2011-v3).
5. Apply thermal paste (B) to the CPU's heat spreader.
6. Carefully place the CPU cooler (A) onto the CPU, aligning the mounting arms with the cooler's brackets.
7. Secure the cooler by tightening the screws on the mounting arms.

05. Intel LGA 2066/2011 v3/2011/1366/115X/775 Installation

Steps for installing on Intel sockets:

1. Apply thermal paste (B) to the CPU.
2. Mount the cooler (A) onto the CPU, securing it with the appropriate mounting hardware (P, R).

07. Intel - LGA 2066/2011-v3/2011 Installation

Detailed steps for Intel LGA 2066, 2011-v3, and 2011 sockets:

1. Install the AMD standoffs (I) into the motherboard's CPU socket mounting holes.
2. Attach the Intel mounting arms (P) to the motherboard using screws (R) and the wrench (J).
3. Apply thermal paste (B) to the CPU.
4. Mount the cooler (A) onto the CPU and secure it.

08. AMD - AM4/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2/FM2+/FM2/FM1 Installation

Instructions for AMD sockets:

1. Remove the stock AMD mounting bracket from the motherboard.
2. Attach the AMD backplate (D) to the motherboard using standoffs (C).
3. Attach the AMD mounting brackets (G) to the backplate (D) using screws (E).
4. Attach the AMD mounting arms (Q) to the motherboard using screws (R) and the wrench (J). Ensure correct orientation for AM4 or other AM3/FM2/FM1 sockets.
5. Apply thermal paste (B) to the CPU.
6. Mount the cooler (A) onto the CPU and secure it.

09. AMD - AM4/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2/FM2+/FM2/FM1 Installation

Further steps for AMD installations:

1. Install the standoffs (C) into the motherboard's CPU socket mounting holes.
2. Mount the cooler (A) onto the CPU and secure it.

10. AMD - AM4/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2/FM2+/FM2/FM1 Installation

Additional steps for AMD installations:

1. Apply thermal paste (B) to the CPU.
2. Mount the cooler (A) onto the CPU, securing it with the appropriate mounting hardware (Q, R).

12. RGB Connection

Connect the RGB lighting as follows:

• 3-Pin Addressable RGB (Asus, Asrock & MSI): Connect the 4-pin RGB cable (M) to the 4-pin header on the RGB controller (L). Connect the 3-pin addressable RGB connector from the cooler to the appropriate header on the motherboard or the RGB controller.
• 3-Pin Addressable RGB (Gigabyte): Use the 4-pin to 5-pin adapter cable (N) if connecting to a Gigabyte motherboard with a 3-pin addressable RGB header.
• 3-Pin (Gigabyte): For standard 3-pin RGB headers, use the appropriate connection.

Connect the PSU power cable to the RGB controller (L).

13. Intel & AMD RGB Connection

Connect the fan cable (O) to the CPU fan header on the motherboard.

14. Final Check

Ensure all connections are secure and the cooler is firmly mounted.
