When you open your CoolWhip™ Air
package, it should contain at least the following items (there may be
more screws and nuts, but never mind):
- 1 pcs. CoolWhip™ Air Copper Heat sink with 2 60x60mm Fans mounted
- 1 pcs. electrically insulated rear plate
- 4 pcs. nylon screws and (hex nuts only for PIII)
- 4 pcs. metal springs
- 4 pcs. nylon cylindrical bushings
- 4 pcs. nylon flat bushings
- 1 bottle of sun lotion (just kidding) heat sink compound
may already be applied to the products) |
 |
| Place the heat sink on a table with
the fans face down. Turn it such that the machined area is situated to
the left.
Apply some of the compound (the
white stuff) from the heat sink on top of the CPU and spread it evenly
with your finger (We takes no responsibility for
possible allergic reactions. If you are allergic to heat sink compound
don't play around with Overclocking, or use protective gloves or other
tools!!!)
|
 |
| Place the CPU with the slug towards
the heat sink, with the "golden fingers" connector pointing
away from you. When placing it, 4 of the holes in the heat sink should align
over the holes in the PCB, (the other holes are for other processor
PCB's).
Now press with your thumbs on top
of the PCB right over the CPU, and rub it in with small circular
movements a few times. Take it off again, and insure that the heat sink
compound has contact all over the slug. If there are any "dry"
areas, apply a little extra and repeat the procedure, until you are sure
you have full contact.
|
 |
| Before you place the CPU back on top
again, you should place the 4 small nylon cylindrical bushings over the screw holes
for the PCB, they will just barely stick up in the holes of the PCB,
also preventing the PCB from being bend. (These bushings are only needed
for the Celeron PCB) |
 |
| Finally press firmly the CPU'en
toward the heat sink, and repeat the small circular movements, until you
feel/(hear) you have contact metal towards metal. |
 |
| As you can see to the right in the close-up,
the cylindrical bushing is just so high, that it stays in place in the
hole of the PCB.
Finally you can place the rear plate
on top, with the insulation towards the PCB, and with the flat nylon
bushings over the mounting holes (this will prevent the springs from
scratching the surface of the rear plate).
|
 |
Mount the small springs on the nylon
screws, and put the screws through the holes in the rear plate that fit
over the holes in the PCB, all the way down through the cylindrical
bushings into the threaded holes of the heat sink. Now twist them around
clockwise with your fingers, until they are in sufficient grip with the
tread. It is easier if you do it diagonally across. Maintain a pressure
on top of the CPU to prevent it from slipping the compound during the
mounting process.
Turn the screws clockwise with a screwdriver the rest of the way till
you feel natural resistance, now the springs will insure the right pressure
between the heat sink and the CPU. If some of the screws are a bit too
long for the unit to fit in your Motherboard, just cut them down a
little, with a sharp Stanley knife! |
