Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler Review
Installation
Contents
The installation system used in Tranquillo is relatively simple and very effective. For AMD processors, you just need to screw two clips to the base and then fasten them to the motherboard frame. For Intel CPUs, however, you must screw two clips to the base of the cooler (In Figure 10 you see the socket LGA775 clips in place), put the respective backplate on the solder side of the motherboard, put the cooler over the CPU and attach it using four spring thumbscrews.
Figure 10: Support for socket LGA775.
In Figure 11, you can see the cooler installed on our motherboard and, in Figure 12, inside our case. A detail you must consider when installing this cooler is that you must install the fan only after fastening the cooler to the motherboard, otherwise you will have trouble acessing the thumbscrews that hold the cooler in place.
