4. VGA Cooler Installation
Insert the Rubber Rings into the VGA Coolers Nipples.
Install the Nipple-attached VGA Cooler on the VGA cards Mounting Holes.
The VGA Chipset MUST be positioned on the center of the VGA Coolers base.
Simultaneously hold the VGA Cooler and the VGA card with one hand, then flip the VGA card so that its rear-
side is facing upwards.
(Note)
Make sure that the VGA Chipset and the VGA Coolers base do not get detached while simultaneously flipping
the VGA Cooler and the VGA card.
5. Spring Insertion on the Fixing Nut
Slowly turn the Spring in counter clockwise motion so that the
Spring is correctly attached to the Fixing Nut.
Note 1) The ends of the Springs are of different diameters.
Install the Spring end with the smaller diameter on the
Fixing Nut as shown in the diagram.
Note 2) Make sure that the Spring is installed perpendicularly
and not leaning to one side.
6. Fixing Nut Installation on the Nipples
Place a PVC Washer over each Nipple on the back side of
the VGA card.
Slightly screw each of the four Spring-attached Fixing Nuts
onto each Nipple, then tighten each Fixing Nut one rotation
at a time until all are completely tightened.
Interference may occur between the Fixing Nuts of the two
VGA coolers when using an SLI or CrossFire VGA card
setup. In such a case, use the enclosed Fixing Nut for SLI
/CrossFire for assembly.
Note 1) Fully tightening one Fixing Nut at a time may result in
damaging the VGA chipset. Please tighten each Fixing
Nut one rotation at a time until all are completely
tightened.
Note 2) Make sure that the VGA Coolers base and the VGA
Chipset are completely in contact with each other.
Note 3) Make sure that the VGA Cooler does not interfere with
the VGA cards capacitors and other components.
