1. First insert the white plastic washers (11A/B) through the included 
 M2.5x7mm screws (12A/B), and then insert through the designated 
 holes on the back of the VGA card (10A/B). From the top side of 
 VGA card, insert the included black plastic washers (9A/B) through 
 the M2.5x7mm screws (12A/B) and then slightly tighten the screws 
 on the black metallic arm plate (7A/B).
 Please Note:
 * The side with the protruding screw hole on the black metallic arm 
 plate (7A/B) needs to be facing upward while the protruding screw 
 hole for 8A/B needs to be facing downward.
 * For most video cards, using the 2 short black metallic arm plates(25mm in   
 length) should suffice unless the distance between the video card’s fixed holes   
 10 A and B are greater than the short black metallic plates in length. If so, consider  
 using the 2 long black metallic arm plates(33mm in length).
2. Put the black metallic retention mount (5) around the GPU (13), 
 please refer to Pic 3, and visually make sure that it is aligned and 
 centered to the GPU.
3. Using the included M2.5x4mm screws (3A/B), slightly tighten the 
 black metallic arm plate underneath the long oval shaped slot (6A/B) 
 on the black metallic retention mount.
  Please note: 
 * The protruding screw holes (8A/B) need to be facing downward.
4. Slightly tighten the black metallic retention mount and the black 
 metallic arm plate. Make sure not to screw in too tight as you need to 
 align the square shaped opening on the black metallic retention 
 mount to the center of the GPU and then use the M2.5x4mm screws 
 (3A/B) and M2.7X7mm screws (12A/B) to tighten.
5. Apply a thin layer of the thermal paste evenly on the protruding 
 square mount at the bottom of the heat sink (pic.4) as well as on the 
 GPU itself.
6. Put the heat sink on top of the VGA card, at the same time minding 
 the protruding square mount at the bottom of the heat sink as you 
 need to line up to fit through the square shaped opening on the black 
 metallic retention mount. Then align the four holes on the heat sink 
 (2A/B/C/D) to the 4 screw holes (5A/B/C/D) on the black metallic 
 retention mount. Finally, using the M3x5mm screws (1A/B/C/D) to 
 tighten and secure the heat sink on the black metallic retention 
 mount in a crisscross (diagonally corner to corner) sequence, i.e. 1A 
 - 1C and then 1B - 1D.
  Important: Be sure to plug in the fan for the VGA before turning on the computer
