VGA Heatpipe Cooler 1. Features 1) By using a heatpipe, heat from GPU(sometimes referred to VPU, Video Processing Unit) can be dissipated efficiently without a cooling fan 2) The fanless design ensures complete noiselessness and semi-permanent, maintenance-free operation. 3) It can be used on virtually all kinds of graphics cards, so it can be reused with upgraded graphics cards.
VGA Heatpipe Cooler Cautions on Installation and Use 1. The computer should be placed according to the following diagrams in order for the product to function properly. If the set-up is so that the graphics card’s GPU faces upwards, then it is not appropriate for this product. If you attempt to adjust the positioning of the computer by flipping it in a reverse direction, the product will not function properly either, so you should place your computer case in a normal position.
VGA Heatpipe Cooler 3. The GPU (VPU) temperature can be lowered by 4~5℃ by opening up the slot covers on the case below the AGP slot . AGP Slot (Graphics Card) open Slot Covers 4. While the ZM80C-HP can sufficiently cool itself without a fan, it is designed to accommodate an 80mm fan directly on the heatsink. Therefore, a quiet cooling fan (ZM80C Option Package) can be installed to increase performance.

VGA Heatpipe Cooler How to Install 1. Spread the Thermal Grease on the GPU(VPU) 1) Clean off the surfaces of the GPU(VPU) and the Front Side Heatsink Base thoroughly. 2) Spread the thermal grease thoroughly on the GPU(VPU). Using a thick piece of paper is recommended for spreading. Many GPUs(VPUs) are concave (center is lower than around the edges), so you should apply more thermal grease at the center of the chip.
VGA Heatpipe Cooler 3. Locate where the Front Side Heatsink Base Assembly is to be Installed The arrow (FRONT ) should be pointing in the direction of the slot connector when the front side heatsink base is facing in the appropriate direction, as shown in the diagram below. (Be sure to confirm the positioning. This is very important.) Front Side Heatsink Base Groove for Heatpipe Front (O) Slot Connector (X) Front Side of the Graphics Card [with the GPU(VPU)] 4.
VGA Heatpipe Cooler 5. Assemble the Rubber Rings and the Nipples 1) Slide a rubber ring onto each Bolt-A protruding out of the back of the card. 2) Screw the nipples onto the Bolt-A, and tighten it with a screwdriver. Front Bolt-A Back Nipple Rubber Ring Nipple 6. Choosing the Back Side Heatsink Base Assembly & Application of Sticker 1) Use the size that corresponds to the appropriate Front Side Heatsink Base Assembly.
VGA Heatpipe Cooler 7. Locate where the Back Side Heatsink Base Assembly is to be Installed 1) The arrow (BACK ) should be pointing in the direction of the slot connector when the Back side heatsink base is facing in the appropriate direction, as shown in the diagram below. (Be sure to confirm the positioning. This is very important.) 2) Unscrew the Bolt-D half a turn, and rotate the plate spring so the nipple protrudes through the hole of the plate spring.
VGA Heatpipe Cooler 9. Confirm the Placement of the Two Heatsink Base Assemblies Confirm that the two heatsink base assemblies are symmetrically placed in reference to the graphics card as shown in the diagram. Then, tighten Bolt-A and Bolt-D again so that they will not become loose. Front Back Front Back 10. Spread the Thermal Grease on the Front Side Heatsink Base Evenly spread the thermal grease onto the indicated area of the Front Side Heatsink Base as shown in the diagram.

VGA Heatpipe Cooler 14. Spread the Thermal Grease on the Back Side Heatsink Base 1) Slightly turn the heatpipe in the direction of the arrow in the first diagram, and spread the thermal grease on the base’s groove for the heatpipe. Turn the heatpipe back placing it into the groove and re-tighten the Bolt-B installed in step #13. ck Ba ck a B Apply Thermal Grease Here (Groove for Heatpipe) 2) Evenly spread the thermal grease onto the indicated area only.

VGA Heatpipe Cooler 17. Install the Back Side Heatsink Place the Back Side Heatsink over the Back Side Heatsink Base and tighten it in place with two Bolt-B’s. Bolt-B Apply Thermal Grease Here ck Ba 18. Attach Plate Link Assembly 1) Assemble in the order of plate link nipple, plate link, and bolt C, as shown in the diagram.
VGA Heatpipe Cooler 19. If the plate spring separates from the Heatsink Base 1) In a Case concerning the Front Side Heatsink Base : Fasten Bolt-D and Nut-B onto the plate spring and insert the plate spring into the groove on the heatsink base. (Note : Front Side Heatsink Base has ‘FRONT ’ printed on it) 2) In a Case concerning the Back Side Heatsink Base : Fasten Bolt-D and Nut-B onto the plate spring and insert the plate spring into the groove on the heatsink base.
VGA Heatpipe Cooler 2) Slide in the fan and the fan grill assembly to the back side heatsink as shown in the diagram. The bolt head should protrude into the groove of the heatsink. After centering the fan on the heatsink, tighten the fan nipples.
