VOS 32 CPU Cooler

Installation of the VOS32 is pretty straightforward. But there is a slight problem that most user of Pentium II and Pentium III SECC II packaged CPU’s might face. These CPU’s come with factory installed Heat Sink and Cooler, which needs to be removed if the VOS32 is to be fitted on. This can be pretty dangerous to do since irreparable damage might be caused to the Processor during such a procedure. I would advise any person to either employ a professional to carry out this task or to research the matter thoroughly over the Internet etc: before attempting it, to find out how exactly this can be done. Intel CPU’s of this generation come in a few different packages thus it is hard to pin point one particular way to decase them. There are OEM Intel CPU’s sold minus heat Sink and Fan, and though they’re cheaper than their boxed cousins in this kind of a situation they are probably the best choice. The Users of AMD Athlon CPU’s in this respect will face no problem for they come packaged minus the cooler and a suitable cooler can be readily installed.

Global Win provides a detailed Manual, which illustrates how the Cooler maybe installed into different CPU’s. Anybody who can read English will have absolutely no problem understanding what needs to be done.

What needs to be done is to fit in the appropriate connecters in to the cooler (For which you might have to take the two fans off) Then after applying a thin layer of high performance thermal grease provided with the VOS32 you should insert the cooler connectors through the appropriate holes in the CPU case and then secure it in the back using the supplied retainers.

Again Global Win must be commended.

But afterwards a tricky situation arises when the processor now armed with the new cooler is to be inserted into the slot in the Motherboard. As I mentioned before the VOS32 is a pretty big cooler and might sometimes interfere with the Ram bays etc: on the Motherboard. Thus before you install the cooler you must first remove any obstruction on the path of the cooler when installed. Sometimes RAM might be needed to be moved to another slot etc. Motherboard Manufacturers should take into consideration the installation of such coolers when designing the lay out of Motherboards. Unfortunately we see a lot of Motherboards pretty badly laid out and complications arising when users go on to install a specialized cooler etc:

After all this is done and the cooler properly secured you can put the VOS32 into action. Next we’ll see what you can get out of this cooler.
