Koolance CPU-305-V10 - Manual

CAUTION: Installing the tension screw into the wrong cooler receptacle can cause
insuffi cient cooler contact, and may result in hardware damage.

For Intel P-4 (478 & 775), Xeon, AMD Athlon 64, FX, or Opteron processors, use the center hole:
Screw alignment for P-4,
Xeon, Athlon 64, FX, X2,
and Opteron processors
Use the included black screw for the following processors: Intel
Pentium-4 (including dual core), Xeon, AMD Athlon 64, FX,
Opteron, & X2 chips.

Temperature Sensor
Remove the protective fi lm from the bottom of the CPU cooler.
Apply metal tape to keep the temperature probe in place. DO NOT stick
metal tape or the temperature probe to the the raised (polished) portion
of the CPU cold plate.
You can use a zip-tie to further secure the temperature probe wire 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, and hardware damage can result.

3 center holes correspond with
different CPU socket positions
There are 3 metal center receptacles on the CPU-305 cooler:

v1.02
With the bracket properly aligned, insert and slowly twist the tension screw until it can no longer be
tightened. Over-tightening is prevented by a ratcheting action.
CAUTION: Installing the tension screw into the wrong cooler receptacle can cause
insuffi cient cooler contact, and may result in hardware damage.

Intel Socket 478 Processors
Apply thermal interface compound directly to the CPU die. Do not add more than is necessary to cover
it with a very thin layer.
Assemble the CPU mounting
bracket using the appropriate
clips. The longer pair are for
Intel Pentium-4 processors; the
shorter are for AMD Athlon/XP
and Intel P-III processors.
Clips for Intel P-4 socket 478
Fit the cooler and mounting brackets onto the CPU socket. The bracket clips slide inward and outward
in order to hook to the socket tabs. Check that the bracket clips are aligned before installing the tension
screw.
The tension screw must be aligned over the center of the CPU. Otherwise, insuffi cient contact could
result in poor performance, or even damage. (Please see Tension Screw for more details.)
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.

temperature probe in between the
processor and cooler. Despite its thin
size, it will interfere with CPU contact
or burn-out the sensor.
