Hi there,

Our bundles do not ship with the coolers attached as this makes the bundles difficult to ship and more prone to damage.

There is nothing you need to remove from the motherboard to fit the EVO cooler.

The cooler will have a backplate with 4 prongs sticking upwards, put this under the board and slide the prongs through the 4 mounting holes around the CPU socket.

The apply your thermal paste (thinly) onto the CPU and place the EVO heatsink ontop.

Once you have done this place the "I" shaped bracket throught the centre of the heatsink and link up the holes with the prongs from the backplate.

The screw in the thumbscrews (only a little at a time each) into the prongs from the backplate. Once you have done this and their is no wobble, the cooler is attached. Now you just need to attach the fan to the heatsink with the provided clips.

The easiest way to do this is to attach one side of the clip first and then hook it onto the fan and then hook the opposite side around the heatsink, thus attaching the fan. Plug the fan into your CPU mobo header and you're done!


Also please use a spell check or something.
