8. Fan Power Cable Connection)

 

1. VGA RAM Heatsink Attachment

Remove the film from the Thermal Tapes on the bottom of the RAM Heatsinks and attach the Heatsinks on the VGA RAM. Note 1) If Thermal Grease or other residue remains on the

RAM, then the Thermal Tapes will not stick. Clean the surface of the RAM with acetone or alcohol before attaching the RAM Heatsinks.

Note 2) The bonding strength of the Thermal Tapes reaches 90% after 24 hours of curing. Do not exert excessive force on the RAM Heatsinks during this period.

Note 3) Thermal Tapes are not reusable because they lose adhesiveness after their initial application. Purchase new Thermal Tapes if the RAM Heatsinks need to be reattached.

2. Thermal Grease Application

Clean the contact surface of the VGA Chipset completely. Apply Thermal Grease on the VGA Chipset that makes contact with the base of the VGA Cooler.

3.Nipple Installation on the Retention Guide

Install the short end of the Nipples on the VGA Cooler s Retention Guide after determining the appropriate Installation Holes.

(Note) The Nipples MUST be tightened by hand. Using tools to tighten the Nipples may damage the tips of the Nipples.

Please check the table below to identify the correct Nipple Installation Holes for specific models of VGA cards.
