[. . . ] Zalman is not responsible for any damage that occurs when moving a computer. Note (2) The fan rotates at 2, 800rpm if connected directly to the motherboard's power connector without the use of FAN MATE 2. Note (3) measured at 1m from noise source. Note (4) Optimal Performance will be reached after approximately 7 days of regular computer use from the time of installation. 3. [. . . ] Refer to the following diagrams, and install only on systems that meet the following installation requirements : No interfering components (PSU, graphic card etc. ) within 62mm from the center of the CPU. No interfering components (ODD etc. ) within 48mm from the center of the CPU. Case cover must be at least 150mm apart from the motherboard. Case Cover PSU 62mm System Fan Air Flow 62mm Case 48mm Graphic Card Slot Motherboard 9. Installation The Clip Installation Method The CNPS9700 must be installed in the orientation that matches the rear system fan's airflow. (Refer to the diagram above) The Clip installation method depends on the motherboard's socket orientation. Follow the correct installation method for your motherboard type. Be careful not to exert excessive force on the fan during installation of the Clip, as it may damage the fan. A. For motherboards with a horizontally-oriented Retention Guide Clip Retention Guide B. For motherboards with a vertically-oriented Retention Guide Clip Retention Guide 150mm 3 1) Intel Socket 775 Clip Installation Refer to "The Clip Installation Method" on page 3 to correctly install the Clip (S-Type, the orientation of the Retention Guide. ) according to Clip Support Installation Align the Clip Support for Socket 775 ( ) and the Backplate for Socket 775 ( ) with the mounting holes on the motherboard, and fasten them together by using the Clip Support Fixing Bolts ( ). The Lever Slot on the Clip Support for Socket 775 ( ) must be properly oriented on the hinged side of the socket lever when installing. The Backplate Support on the Backplate for Socket 775 ( ) can be removed if deemed unnecessary. Clip Support Fixing Bolt, CPU Clip Support for Socket 775, Socket Lever Hinge Motherboard Backplate for Socket 775, Backplate Support CPU Socket Lever Lever Slot Thermal Grease Application Clear off particles or any residue from the contact surface of the CPU and heatsink. Shake the Thermal Grease (ZM-STG1, ) well then apply on the contact surface of the CPU and heatsink base. Cooler Installation Insert two Bolts ( ) into the holes of the Clip (S-type, ) and place the CNPS9700 on the center of the CPU. Slightly fasten the Bolts ( ) into the holes of the Clip Support for Socket 775 ( ), then fasten the Bolts ( ) in an alternating manner until the Clip (S-Type, ) is completely pressed against the Clip Support for Socket 775. Bolt, Clip(S-Type), Note When installing the CNPS9700 on a motherboard with a horizontallyoriented Retention Guide, take extra care to not exert excessive force on the fan. Excessive force may damage the fan. Power Connection (FAN MATE 2) Please refer to "FAN-MATE 2 Installation and Usage" on page 6. 4 2) AMD Socket AM2/754/939/940 Thermal Grease Application Clear off particles or any residue from the contact surface of the CPU and heatsink. Shake the Thermal Grease (ZM-STG1, ) well then apply on the contact surface of the CPU and heatsink base. Clip Installation Refer to "The Clip Installation Method" on page 3 to correctly install the Clip for AMD Sockets ( ) and Clip Lever ( ) on the CNPS9700 according to the orientation of the Retention Frame. First insert the Clip for AMD Sockets ( ) into the Heatsink ( ), then connect the Clip Lever ( ) with the Clip ( ). Cooler Installation Place the CNPS9700 on the center of the CPU. [. . . ] However, booting can be possible even at low fan rpm if the BIOS settings are updated. For more information on updating your BIOS, please refer to the website of the motherboard's manufacturer. There are motherboards which fail to detect the rpm while operating the cooler in Silent Mode, but this does not affect computing performance. is not responsible for any damages resulting from CPU Overclocking. 6 12.
