For the installation we’ve chosen to use LGA 1700 since this is new and AG400 has compatibility for it.

So, for the first step, it’s necessary to attach the provided backplate and then install the plastic standoffs on the front-side. This is actually quite a tricky process because the backplate almost doesn’t poke through enough for the standoffs to stay in situ.

We then need to attach the large metal mounting plate over the top of the standoffs and fix into place via screws.


Next, we simply need to place the CPU cooler over the mounting plate, lining up the screws. It is always good practise to perform one turn of the screwdriver and then jump to the other screw so that pressure is applied evenly. Thankfully the cooling fan does not need to be removed to tighten up the screw on that side.


The last step is to then attach the PWM connector to the motherboard and we are ready to go. Here is the finished linked, we rather like the design of this cooler – it looks great!
