Cooler Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler Review
Installation
Contents
TX3 installation is pretty simple. To use it with AMD CPUs, you just need to use the clip shown in Figure 9, holding it to the motherboard frame.

To install the cooler on socket LGA775 and 1156 Intel CPUs, you need to attach four clips on the cooler base. Those clips have two positions, one for socket LGA775 and other for socket LGA1156, where the motherboard holes are positioned a little far. In Figure 10, you can see those clips without one screw, so you can have an idea how those two positions are.
Once the clips are in place, you just need to fasten the cooler to the motherboard the same way the Intel stock cooler.

In Figure 11, you can see how it looks inside our case. It did not interfered with any component of our motherboard, but it is tall and will not fit slim or SFF cases.
