In order to demonstrate the installation process for PH-TC12DX we are installing the cooler on the Intel LGA2011 socket.

Installing PH-TC12DX takes very little time, the first step is to apply mounting stand-offs to the four screw holes found on the edge of the socket cover. Once these are fixed, two mounting brackets need to be fitted and then four thumbscrews to secure the brackets down. PH-TC12DX can be mounted in a variety of orientations but we are following the traditional and reliable method of having the heatsink facing the rear exhaust fan within the computer case, to be configured with push-pull fan alignment. All that is left to do is apply thermal paste, place the PH-TC12DX over the CPU and tighten up the tension screws – these screws can be tightened with your fingers and then the last turn with a screwdriver.

And there you have it, installation takes a matter of minutes thanks to the well thought-out design and easy to use fitting kit.
