Apply thermal interface compound directly to the
CPU die. Do not add more than is necessary to cover
it with a very thin layer.
Remove the protective film from the bottom of
the CPU cooler.
(For Koolance Systems) Insert the temperature
sensor into either bottom groove on the CPU
cooler. The sensor is required for proper fan
speed control and system safety features.
Apply metal tape to keep the temperature probe in
place. Do not stick metal tape to the the raised

You can use a zip-tie to further secure the
temperature probe to the CPU tubing.
CAUTION: Be sure to attach the Koolance temperature probe to
the CPU cooler during installation. The safety features of your
system may not function properly without the correct placement of
this probe.

bracket clips are aligned before installing the tension screw.
The tension screw must be aligned over the center of the CPU (particularly
for AMD Athlon/XP processors). Otherwise, insufficient contact could result in
poor performance, or even damage. There are 3 metal center receptacles on
the CPU-300 cooler:
