Thermaltake ISGC-100 CPU Cooler Review
Installation
Contents
To install ISGC-100 on AMD processors (sockets AM3, AM2+, AM2, 939, 940 or 754) you just need to put the clip seen in Figure 10 over the base and then fasten it.
Figure 10: AMD clip.
To use it on Intel socket LGA775 CPUs more work is required. First you need to screw both clips shown in Figure 11 to the cooler base. Then you must remove the motherboard from the case (unless your case has a windows on the back side of the motherboard tray), put the cooler in place and screw the nuts on the back side of the motherboard, using the included rubber and silicon washers to avoid damage to the motherboard tracks.

Thermaltake ISGC-100 is a little bigger than Intel stock cooler, but very smaller than some coolers we reviewed lately, as you can see in Figure 12.

As ISGC-100 is not a tall cooler
, you can install it on SFF cases. In Figure 13, you can see how it looks inside our case.
