| Question
: |
I have installed
the Ultra 120 but I'm wondering if I tightened the spring loaded screws enough.
Do they "stop" turning eventually, or is it up to the user to decide how tight
they want them? |

|
| Answer
: |
The rule of thumb is that
you tighten them in a criss-cross pattern until the screws bottom out, in other
words, until you would not have to apply pressure to tighten them any more. This
is referred to as finger tight, although you use a screwdriver. You could strip
the screws if you attempt to over tighten them. |

Ultra-120 is quite big. Many of the motherboards now have their own
heatpipe cooling system running across the board. How do I check to make sure
that the Ultra-120 has enough room to install? |

| Answer
: |
Indeed, a lot of motherboard manufacturers
now add their own heatpipe system on the Mosfet (Ex. ASUS Striker Extreme) which creates a compatibility
problem for many after market heatsinks including Thermalright𠏋. What we can
suggest before buying is to check for heatsink𠏋 dimensions to ensure that the
Ultra-120 would fit. For Ultra-120𠏋 dimension |

Can Thermalright Ultra-120 fit on an
EVGA 680i motherboard? |
| |
|
| Answer
: |
The Ultra-120 together with its
backplate can be installed on motherboard such as the ASUS Striker Extreme
(680i) Edition without a problem but for other EVGA motherboards, Ultra-120 will
not be able to be installed due to the micro SMD on the backside of the board
and underneath the CPU socket. The backplate for the Ultra-120, if installed,
will be pressed against those micro SMD, risking damage and/or causing a short
circuit. We will be developing a solution soon to solve that
problem. |
