5. Spring Insertion on the Fixing Nut

Slowly turn the Spring in counter clockwise motion so that the Spring is correctly attached to the Fixing Nut.

Note 1) The ends of the Springs are of different diameters. Install the Spring end with the smaller diameter on the Fixing Nut as shown in the diagram.

Note 2) Make sure that the Spring is installed perpendicularly and not leaning to one side.

6. Fixing Nut Installation on the Nipples

Place a PVC Washer over each Nipple on the back side of the VGA card.

Slightly screw each of the four Spring-attached Fixing Nuts onto each Nipple, then tighten each Fixing Nut one rotation at a time until all are completely tightened.

Interference may occur between the Fixing Nuts of the two VGA coolers when using an SLI or CrossFire VGA card setup. In such a case, use the enclosed Fixing Nut for SLI /CrossFire for assembly.

Note 1) Fully tightening one Fixing Nut at a time may result in damaging the VGA chipset. Please tighten each Fixing Nut one rotation at a time until all are completely tightened.

Note 2) Make sure that the VGA Cooler s base and the VGA Chipset are completely in contact with each other.

Note 3) Make sure that the VGA Cooler does not interfere with the VGA card s capacitors and other components.
