Koolance CHC-125-R - Manual

The motherboard or video card should be removed from the chassis in order
to install the chipset cooler. The mounting screws are inserted from the back
side of the board.
CAUTION: Removal of the original heat sink my void your
manufacturer’s hardware warranty. Please consult the
manufacturer if unsure, and keep all original parts in case of a
return/RMA. Koolance does not recommend using a liquid cooler
on motherboards or video cards that lack standard mounting holes,
or have heat sinks that are attached with only an adhesive (rather
than screws or bolts).
