Installation

Mounting the Silent Knight on mainboards is a simple and intuitive process. The small manual enclosed with the cooler covers this procedure (for every supported CPU socket) on only two small pages. The cooler supports six sockets in total: Socket 478 and LGA775, Socket 754, 939, 940 and Socket AM2. For each platform there is a universal back-plate with screwed-in bushings.

When installed on an LGA775 mainboard, the back-plate looks like follows:

And if there are elements on the mainboard’s reverse side that prevent you from installing this universal back-plate, you will also find an ordinary compact X-shaped back-plate enclosed with the Silent Knight (you can see it in the photograph of the cooler’s accessories).
