6. Installation
ZM-WB3 Gold must be installed with a specific grip that is
compatible with a particular CPU socket. Refer to the table
on the right for the correct grip.
1) Intel Pentium 4 - 775
Installing the Clip Support for Socket 775
Align the clip support for socket 775 and the backplate for socket 775 with the mounting holes on the motherboard
and fasten them together using the Clip Support Fixing Bolts. The Lever Slot on the Clip Support should be properly
oriented on the hinged side of the Socket Lever when installing.
The Backplate Support is used for the
convenience of installation.
You can remove it if it is not
deemed necessary.
Applying Thermal Grease
Clean off particles and residue then spread a
generous amount of thermal grease thoroughly
on top of the CPU.
Unlike the flat-milled base of the FHS, the top surface
of the LGA775 CPU may have minute dips and peaks
causing pockets of non-contact between the FHS and
CPU. Please apply a generous amount of Thermal
Grease on top of the CPU.
Installing the Grips and Bolts
Interlock the S-type grips with the clip.
Insert the two Bolts into the holes of the Grips.
Installing the CPU Water Block
Set the CPU Water Block at the center of the CPU.
Screw the Bolts in slightly, then tighten each Bolt a
few turns at a time while alternating between the two
until the Grips are completely pressed against
the Clip Support.

2) Intel Pentium 4 - 478
Applying Thermal Grease
Clean off particles and residue then spread a
generous amount of Thermal Grease
thoroughly
on top of the CPU.
Installing the Clip Supports for Socket 478
Install the Clip Supports for Socket 478 on both
sides of the Retention Guide as shown in the
diagram on the right.
Installing the Grips and Bolts
Interlock the L-type Grips with the Clip.
Insert the two Bolts into the inner holes of the Grips.
Installing the CPU Water Block
Set the CPU Water Block at the center of the CPU.
Screw the Bolts in slightly, then tighten each Bolt a
few turns at a time while alternating between the
two until the Clip Supports are completely pressed
against the Grips.

3) AMD Duron/Athlon/Athlon XP/Sempron - 462
Installing the Clip Supports for Socket 462
Install the Clip Supports for Socket 462 on the motherboard,
while making sure that their locations are not swapped.
The A-type Clip Support must be installed next to the lever.
Install in the order of : Bolts > Small Washers > Motherboard
>
Small Washers > Clip Supports.
Applying Thermal Grease
Clean off particles and residue then spread a thin
layer of Thermal Grease evenly on the CPU core
(Only on the core’s surface that actually makes
contact with the Block Base).
Installing the Grips and Bolts
Interlock the S-type Grips with the Clip.
Insert the two Bolts into the holes of the Grips.
Installing the CPU Water Block
Set the CPU Water Block at the center of the CPU.
Screw the Bolts in slightly, then tighten each Bolt a
few turns at a time while alternating between the
two until the Grips are completely pressed against
the Clip Supports.

4) AMD Sempron/AMD64 - 754/939/940
Installing the Nipples
Place a Small Washer on the motherboard. Then, put a
Nipple over it and fasten the Nipple until the Backplate
for AMD64 is firmly attached to the motherboard on the
opposite side of the CPU.
