Preparation

Surface Preparation

Ensure the surface where Arctic Fuse 2 will be installed is clean, dry, and free of any debris. If the surface is uneven or porous, it may be necessary to apply a leveling compound or primer to create a smooth and stable base.

Measuring and Marking

Determine the desired location and orientation of Arctic Fuse 2. Use a tape measure and level to mark the position of the mounting holes and the outline of the fuse unit. Transfer these markings to the surface using a pencil or chalk.

Drilling Pilot Holes

Using a drill bit appropriate for the surface material, drill pilot holes at the marked positions for the mounting holes. The diameter of the pilot holes should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the screws that will be used to secure Arctic Fuse 2.

Cable Routing

Plan the routing of the electrical cables that will connect to Arctic Fuse 2. Determine the entry points for the cables and ensure that they will not interfere with the operation or aesthetics of the fuse unit.

5. **Power on the computer and check the temperature:** Once the computer is powered on, use a software utility to check the temperature of the CPU. The CPU temperature should be below 80 degrees Celsius under load.

Aligning and Mounting the Cooler

To align and mount the cooler, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Motherboard

Before installing the cooler, ensure that the motherboard is clean and free of debris. Remove any existing thermal paste from the CPU and clean the heatsink contact surface.

2. Position the Mounting Brackets

Place the mounting brackets over the CPU socket, aligning them correctly. Secure them with the provided screws.

3. Apply Thermal Paste

Apply a small dot of thermal paste to the center of the CPU. Use a plastic spatula or a credit card to spread the paste evenly, ensuring a thin, uniform layer.

4. Place the Cooler

Carefully place the cooler over the CPU, aligning it with the mounting brackets. Gently press down on the cooler until it locks into place.

5. Connect the Fan

Connect the fan to the CPU fan header on the motherboard.

Applying Thermal Paste

To ensure optimal heat transfer between the CPU and the Arctic Freezer 2 cooler, it is crucial to apply thermal paste correctly. Here are the detailed steps for thermal paste application:

Materials Required:

Thermal paste
Cotton swabs or a lint-free cloth
Rubbing alcohol (optional)

Steps:

Clean the CPU Surface: Use a cotton swab or a lint-free cloth to remove any existing thermal paste or dust from the top of the CPU. If necessary, moisten the swab with a small amount of rubbing alcohol to enhance cleaning effectiveness.
Prepare the Arctic Freezer 2: Remove the protective film from the base of the cooler. Do not touch the exposed base with your fingers, as this can lead to reduced heat transfer.
Apply a Pea-Sized Amount of Thermal Paste: Place a pea-sized drop of thermal paste onto the center of the CPU. Avoid using too much paste, as excess can interfere with heat dissipation.
Spread the Thermal Paste: Using a cotton swab or a clean finger, gently spread the thermal paste evenly over the entire surface of the CPU, creating a thin and uniform layer. Ensure that the paste covers the entire area of the CPU that will come into contact with the cooler’s base.

Tips:

Use high-quality thermal paste designed for CPU applications.
Avoid air bubbles during the spreading process.
If you need to remove the cooler after installation, clean both the CPU and the cooler’s base thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and reapply thermal paste.
