How do I install my SLK-800?

chiquita · 02-May-03, 06:26 PM

Hey guys, I just bought a Thermalright SLK-800 and it came with no instructions and I was wondering how the hell I install it because its got some squishy pads n other crap with it. It's confusing.

Chiquita, the pads, go in the corners of the HS they are like the pads on the CPU to protect the core from being crushed.

I'm sure if you went to their web site they would have a doc for that.

Oh so thats what their for? Why did they make the damn bottom so narrow? Do you have a picture of exactly where to place them?

EDIT: I know those clip things are for the fan but which one do I use and how the **** to I install my fan. God damn, this is hilarious, the fact that I've never installed a good qualtiy heatsink. Good quality heatsinks are so confusing it seems, whereas heatsinks like the Volcano 9, low-medium quality, are easy to install.

the bottom is narrow so that air cam pass freely through the HS.

Ahhhh now I get it. Man I'm so ****ing happy that I'm forgetting the obvious things. I passed two tests @ school today and I'm finally catching up on my work, which I was half a year behind on last month. I am only a month behind now, so thats why I am happy now. I worked my ass off in the past 2 weeks and completed 4 months of school work. I have got very little sleep. Thanks. Man, I should get some rest. I will install my heatsink later tonight and post the wickedass picks. Thermalright should post a warning about getting blind from light reflecting off of it. LOL!

It's alright if I use my Thermaltake SmartFan II from my V9 on it right?
