Installation Instructions
AMD AM4/AM5 Installation
Step 1: Remove the AMD original plastic support, keeping the motherboard's backplate. Install the AM4/AM5 standoffs (J) and secure the AM4/AM5 bracket (E) to the motherboard using AM4/AM5 screws (K).
Step 2: Apply thermal grease (L) to the CPU. Mount the heatsink (A) onto the CPU and secure it. Attach the fan clips (F) to the heatsink and mount the fans (B).
Intel LGA 115X/1200 Installation
Step 1: Align the backplate (N) with the LGA115X mounting holes on the motherboard. Secure it by passing the LGA115X screw bolts (G) through the motherboard and tightening them from the front. Place the Intel bracket (D) and fix it with screws.
Step 2: Apply thermal grease (L) to the CPU. Mount the heatsink (A) onto the CPU and secure it. Attach the fan clips (F) to the heatsink and mount the fans (B).
Intel LGA 2011/2066 Installation
Step 1: Thread the LGA20XX screw bolts (H) into the motherboard. Place the Intel bracket (D) and secure it using the tightening nuts (I).
Step 2: Apply thermal grease (L) to the CPU. Mount the heatsink (A) onto the CPU and secure it. Attach the fan clips (F) to the heatsink and mount the fans (B).
Intel LGA 1700 Installation
Step 1: Align the backplate (N) with the LGA1700 mounting holes on the motherboard. Secure it by passing the LGA1700 screw bolts (M) through the motherboard and tightening them from the front. Place the Intel bracket (D) and fix it with screws.
Step 2: Apply thermal grease (L) to the CPU. Mount the heatsink (A) onto the CPU and secure it. Attach the fan clips (F) to the heatsink and mount the fans (B).
Fan Wiring
CPU Fan Connection: Insert the 4-pin PWM fan header into the motherboard's CPU_FAN socket. For dual fan setups, use the Y-type adapter cable (C) to sync fan speeds.
ARGB Lighting Connection: For fans with ARGB lighting, connect the 3-pin (5V) ARGB lighting header to the motherboard's ARGB lighting socket or an ARGB controller. Lighting effects can be synchronized by connecting fan lighting headers to each other.
