The Cooling head of the Mach II GT does most of the work, and the
head of the GT hasn't changed to much from the original design of the
Mach I, although it is a proven design so its doesn't need too much
changing anyways. The Cooling head basically fastens onto the CPU
through a retaining clip that attaches to the CPU mount that is mounted
onto the motherboard through two retaining screws that go through the
board.

The CPU kit is mounted on our DFI Ultra-D through the use of two strings
of seal string. The seal string goes on the bottom of each plate and the
bottom 'back' plate is pressed onto the back of the board and then the
top plate is matched up using the motherboard holes. You then use the
included screws and squeeze the seal string to create an air-tight
chamber so the air can't enter and create condensation when your
processor is well below ambient temperature.
Once you are finished assembling your Mach II GT you should check the
CPU contact by attaching the Cooling head to your processor. AS you can
see we have perfect contact the first time, that's a good thing :)
Launch...1,2,3..
Once you have your Mach II GT ready to go you should check your temps,
install the software and get familiar with what phase change is all
about before you try to go about overclocking it. We found no problems
with ours whatsoever, and we were amazed at the -15 difference in load
temps compared to the Vapochill LS.
Installing the software is
a cinch. Just pop the CD in and go.. Of course you'll want to make sure
you have the USB cable installed correctly.
Yeah we had to overclock
it beforehand :)
Here is where you can
adjust your fan RPM's, and shut-down temperature.

This has to be adjusted.
It takes forever for the Mach II GT to boot up at -55C. We adjusted it
to -33C
