Chapter 2 - Intel Installation
Follow these steps to install the JONSBO CR-1000 CPU Cooler on an Intel motherboard.
Step 1: Installing the Intel bracket
Attach the Intel brackets (D) to the motherboard. Ensure they are oriented correctly for your specific Intel socket (e.g., LGA1700, LGA115X/1200).

Position the Intel backplate (B) on the rear side of the motherboard, aligning its screw holes with the mounting points around the CPU socket.
[Visual: Shows the backplate being placed on the back of the motherboard.]Step 5: Adjust backplate slider
Adjust the slider mechanism on the backplate to align with the correct mounting holes for your specific Intel socket type (e.g., LGA1700, LGA115X/1200).

Follow these steps to install the JONSBO CR-1000 CPU Cooler on an AMD motherboard.
Step 1: Remove the fan
Remove the fan from the heatsink unit before proceeding. This allows easier access for mounting the heatsink onto the CPU.
[Visual: Shows the fan being detached from the main heatsink tower.]Step 2: Installing the AMD bracket
Attach the AMD brackets (E) to the motherboard. These brackets will typically attach to the stock AMD mounting mechanism.
[Visual: Shows the AMD brackets being attached to the motherboard's stock mounting clips.]Step 3: Remove AMD retention module retainers
If your AMD motherboard has plastic clips or retainers around the CPU socket, remove them as instructed by the motherboard manual. The JONSBO AMD brackets will then attach directly.

Align the heatsink assembly with the AMD brackets and CPU. Use the provided screws (C) to secure the heatsink. Adjust the screws to ensure proper tension and alignment with the motherboard's mounting points.
[Visual: Shows the heatsink being aligned and screws being tightened onto the AMD brackets.]Step 6: Secure cooler with screwdriver
Continue tightening the screws evenly in a cross pattern until the cooler is firmly secured to the motherboard. Do not overtighten. ?
