Thermaltake Frio CPU Cooler Review

Installation

In Figure 11, you can see the backplate and the clips for socket LGA1156. The clips for sockets 775 and 1366 are pretty much the same, using different set of holes depending on the socket type. There is also a set of backplate and clips that fit AMD sockets AM2, AM2+, and AM3.

Figure 11: Backplate and clips

In Figure 12, you can see the base of the cooler with the socket LGA1156 clips in place and rubber washers applied. You just need to put the cooler on the CPU, put the backplate behind the motherboard, and fasten four nuts on the solder side of the motherboard in order to hold the cooler.
