VID-278/280/282 Installation Guide v1.3

NOTE: The VID-280 is designed for GeForce 8800GTS cards. The VID-282 is designed for GeForce 8800GTX/Ultra cards. The VID-278 is designed for GeForce 8800GT cards. The video card should be removed from the chassis in order to install this cooling device.

CAUTION: Removal of the original heat sink my void your manufacturer's hardware warranty. Please consult the manufacturer if unsure, and keep all original parts in case of a return/RMA.

	Most cards using the VID-series blocks are disassembled the same way, although heat sink assemblies of any given model can vary.
	The spring-screws on the bottom side should be removed first. There should be 8-12 of these on the video card. There may also be smaller mounting screws on the side of the L-bracket.

The heat sink and fan can now be carefully removed. Original thermal paste may present additional resistance while removing the heat sink. Unplug the heat sink fan wire. Remove the original RAM thermal transfer material, and wipe any residual thermal material from the main GPU chipset.
8800GTS/GTX/Ultra (92nm) Thermal Paste Application 8800GT (65nm) Thermal Paste Application	Thermal paste is only required on the main GPU. The other areas will utilize the included heat transfer pads. Spread thermal compound on the GPU thinly and evenly using the included paste packet, or a piece of thick paper (such as a business card). Thermal paste is not required on the surrounding metal support frame or small surface-soldered components.
	Heat transfer pads have plastic film on one or both sides that must be removed before application.
	Place the 8 heat transfer pads on each additional area cooled by the Koolance liquid block. This includes memory rows, power/VReg areas, etc.

	Place the Koolance block over the video card.
Use the Koolance-supplied screws and washers.	Using the Koolance-supplied screws and plastic insulating washers, tighten each screw on the reverse side of the card.
Koolance VID coolers include redundant G1/4 threading on both sides. This means the input/output nozzles can be placed on either side of the cooler.
	Two G1/4 "caps" are included with the VID coolers which can be placed opposite the desired nozzle locations.
Connecting VID Coolers in SLI When connecting VID coolers in series (such as in SLI), Koolance offers an optional direct-connect nozzle. This minimizes water routing (liquid routing) while avoiding potential conflicts with hardware in between the video cards.
