Crucial System Scanner
 

Features:

  • 4 separate modular sets of aluminum fins create a large heat dissipation surface for unsurpassed cooling performance

  • 8 heat pipes maximize heat transfer

  • Mirror-finished base makes for 100% contact with the processor

  • Optimum Airflow
    The center mounted 120mm fan blows cool air through the fins of the heatsink and cools down the heatsink which is taking the heat away from the CPU smoothly

  • Precision Control and Quiet Operation at 17~21 dBA
    Adjustable PWM fan speed control, using a manual knob placed in the back of the chassis, enables fan adjustments from 7V to 12V, allowing users to find the perfect balance between cooling performance and noise level

Installation:

The first step in the installation process is to decide which bracket you need.  For the purposes of this review, we will be using the LGA775 bracket.  Once you find your bracket, run the reverse-threaded screws through the appropriate holes.

The next step is to screw the brackets into the base of the heatsink.  Make sure you mount the brackets with the threads of the large mounting screws pointing to the bottom.

After both brackets are mounted, find the rubber washers.  Peel the paper back and stick them to the brackets.  Pull the paper off of the opposite side before mounting to the board.

Once the heatsink is mounted to the motherboard, you can secure it one of two ways.  Either use the backplate, as demonstrated above, or use the washers and nuts, demonstrated below.  The nuts are easily tightened with the included adaptor. 

Once the heatsink is mounted through the motherboard, use the hard plastic washers, followed by the same nuts.  This method is preferable when components on the back of the motherboard impede the use of a backplate. 

With everything installed, here is what we look like.  The V8 is pretty big, but not as huge as some coolers out there.  It fits rather deliciously in the HAF932 case.
