Thermaltake Frio Advanced CPU Cooler Review

Installation

The first step to install the Frio Advanced is to attach the holders (each one with one spring-loaded screw) to the base of the cooler. Figure 12 shows those holders in place.

The second step is to install the frame on the motherboard. Put the backplate on the solder side of the motherboard, insert the four screws, install the plastic spacers, and then the metal bars, holding them with four thumbnuts.
