The model from the packaging can be also found on the top of the heatsink, which comes with a mirror finish and is nickel plated:
On the base of the heatsink we can also find the holes where the mounting plate will get installed:
The installation:
The first step would be to install the rivet nuts onto the back plate, in the appropriate holes (for the type of socket we need); to fix the rivet nuts, we need to use the rubber o-rings on the opposite side:
Here is how the back plate does look when it is installed on the motherboard:
On the front of the motherboard, we will see the holes covered by the rivet nuts:
Next step is to install the double end studs with nuts; these have insulation washers pre-mounted, to avoid scratching the motherboard's PCB:
After that, we can place on them the black aluminium strip adapters:
The screw nuts will help us fix properly the adapters on the motherboard:
Before installing the product, we have to apply some thermal compound on the CPU HSF and then put the heatsink on; the aluminium mounting plate must be aligned with the holes of the aluminium strip adapters:
To perform the final steps of mounting the heatsink onto the CPU, we have to use the spring-loaded screws; the manufacturer has also provided us with some black spring-loaded screws, which apply even more force, but exceed the specifications and may damage the hardware during long time usage:
The heatsink did not arrive with any fans, so I have used two Noctua NF-P12; fixing them was very easy with the included fan wire clips for 120x120x25mm fans:
