Cooling/CPU Cooling by stefan @ 2011-03-30
The newest cooler from Prolimatech, the Genesis, comes with a shape that reminds us of the older V10 from Cooler Master and can be placed on the same level in terms of performance with the king of air cooling, the Noctua NH-D14.
Since the installation will be performed on a LGA1156 socket system, we will pick up the appropriate backplate, for the Intel systems, which also has a small sticker glued to it, telling us to attach square spacer (included as an accessory) in the middle, in case we are using a LGA775 platform; the backplate has holes drilled for 3 separate sockets: LGA775, LGA1156/LGA1155, LGA1366:
With the help of the O-rings, we can keep the rivet nuts fixed on the backplate:
After the backplate has been placed on the back of the motherboard, we can check to see if the rivet nuts have passed through the mounting holes:
The next step would be to pick up the double end studs with nuts, and install them:
After installing the aluminium strip adapters, we should check to see if the holes have been aligned properly, by placing on top the aluminium mounting plate:
