Koolance GPU-180-V06 - Manual

The video card or motherboard 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 video cards
or motherboards that lack standard mounting holes, or have heat
sinks that are attached with only an adhesive (rather than screws or
bolts).
Beneath the board, the plastic tabs must be
squeezed together with needle-nose pliers in
order to free the original heat sink. (Some
tabs have locking center pins which must
first be removed from the top.)
Once loosened, remove the original
heat sink. Apply a thin layer of thermal
interface compound onto the chipset if
necessary.
!
Remove the protective tape from the bottom
of the chipset cooler.
To help keep them secure, place rubber
washers over the metal screws from above
the board.
Through the original heat sink
mounting holes, insert both metal
mounting screws from the back of
the board. Make sure the plastic
insulating washers are placed on
each screw.
For ATI Radeon video chipsets, place the
included adhesive foam pad around the chipset
core for a flatter mounting surface.
