Installation


The mounting procedure is exactly the same as described in the Alpenföhn Nordwand and Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme reviews so if you have read them before, you will be very familiar with how easy the process is.

LGA 1366
1.First insert the four screws (T120-08) through the back of the back plate and secure them using the screw caps (T120-06). The hole have grooves to ensure that the screws go in the right way and lock.
2.Insert the washers(T120-09) onto the screws on top of the screw caps.
3.Install the back plate onto the motherboard.
4.Squeeze 0.1ml of the TX-3 thermal on the surface of the CPU.
5.Install the cooler onto the motherboard after removing the protective film and secure it using the provided spring screws (T120-04). Screw them on diagonally and gradually.

LGA775
Installation for LGA775 is exactly the same as LGA1366 except for making sure that the screws go in the appropriately labelled holes in the back plate.

AMD AM3/AM2(+)
The difference with AMD sockets is that the stock cooler support has to be first removed from the motherboard and instead of the Intel screw caps and washers, use the AMD ones (T120-07 & T120-10).
The T120-03 fittings also have to be screwed onto the cooler's pre-installed bracket using the T120-05 screws.

There were no issued installing the cooler despite having to access the thumbscrews during the process. The fairly small size means that the radiators don't overhang too much, so it is quite easy to reach the thumbscrews. The main concern is the orientation of the cooler but it is best to install it so it does not affect any other components and generally this will depend on the motherboard.

Right, onto the results.
