Koolance VID-400-L06 - Manual (Page 2)

3
Remove the protective fi lm from the bottom
of both chipset coolers, and the PCI-Express
controller chip (on the main cooler only).
4
Remove all hardware nuts, washers, and metal
posts from the Koolance VID-400 coolers.
Perform the following process for 9 total mounting
pegs on both video boards:
1. Insert a mounting screw into the back side
of the video board using an original heat sink
mounting hole.
2. On the front of the card, place a plastic
insulating washer over the mounting screw.
3. Above the washer, hand-tighten a metal
mounting post to the screw.
These steps are done for all 9 mounting pegs
(5 on one video board, 4 on the other).
Hand-tighten the mounting nuts fi rmly to all
9 metal posts on both boards.
NOTE: Video card RAM chips are not
perfectly flat with one another. To make
sure your cooler is making the best contact
possible for your card, remove the cooler and
examine the distribution of thermal paste.
A missing or inadequate “spot” might be
corrected by further tightening a top mounting
nut (gradually), or applying more thermal
paste to the chip.
Mount both Koolance coolers to their
respective video boards.
Lastly, recombine the 7950GX2 video
boards by performing the original
disassembly steps in reverse.
