Evercool HPK-10025EA CPU Cooler Review
Installation
Contents
In Figure 8 we can see the clips for Intel CPUs installed on the base of the cooler. Actually these clips come already installed and all you must do is to put the nuts in the correct position (inner holes for socket LGA775, outer holes for socket LGA1366) and stick the rubber washers to the nuts.
Figure 8: Clips in place.
In Figure 9 we can se HPK-10025EA installed on our motherboard. Installation is very simple, you just need to put the cooler in place and fasten four screws on the solder side from the motherboard, also using the provided rubber washers. Obviously if your case does not grant access to the solder side from your motherboard, you will need to remove it from the case. It is a pity that this cooler does not come with a backplate in order to avoid the motherboard from bending.

In Figure 10 we can see the cooler inside our case. It is very small compared to most the coolers we tested recently, which means it can be installed inside SFF cases.
