Now I am installing the Thermal Take Big Water 780e inside the Thermal Take Xaser 6 Chassis. This is going to be an absolute dream, nice and simple, lots of room and easy to refill and it’s kind of opening compartment at the top, check this out.
So we’re just going to take the top 3U and just slide this right in, being careful not to click any wires here. There we go. If any wires are getting cut, just make sure that you loosen them up and just make sure that you loosen then up and make give them enough slacks that the device will fit without pulling on any of your cabling.
And there we go, it’s going to slide right in there. There we go. So I can see how large my V1 fan is here and it’s an excellent cooling system. I really love it and I am almost sorry to see it go but look at the difference in size, look at how much extra air flowing going to get into this system because this is so tiny; there are now coils or anything like that. So this entire fan system is going to come right system and we’re going to be replacing that with the water block here from Thermal take.
Now, if you happen to be privileged enough to have such a nice chassis as the Thermal take Xaser 6. It’s beautiful because we’re going to be able to remove the motherboard like a drawer so that we scan start working on it. If on the other hand, you have a standard chassis, now you can still work like this but you’re going to have to unscrew that motherboard and remove it from the chassis itself because we’ve got to get underneath, so that we can melt the apparatus the mounting hardware for the copper cooling system water block.
Now you’ll notice whenever I’m working on a chassis, I am using antistatic risk guards. You want to have some form of grounding going on or antistatic device. You can use antistatic plugs, you can use a ground plate, a ground matt, anything like that; these are handy because they are wireless so I like that.
So here’s just another one of the beauties of the Thermal take Xaser 6 Chassis. This just makes things so easy to work with. Look at that and there we go. All right, so let’s get started.
Now just use a cloth or a piece of paper towel, not Kleenex because you do not want to leave any lint behind or anything like that; something that’s not going to leave any lint. I’ll just get that processor all cleaned up. Let’s get all these gum off of there, just want to put on new thermal grease. It doesn’t have to be perfect; we just make want to make sure, absolutely no finger prints because the oils in your fingers are going to cause—well that’s going to affect the cooler. You want to have a perfect thermal connection between the heat sink and the processor.
Now, you can see in the box of the Big Water 780e that there are these three items here, now we’ve got our metal bracket plate, we’ve got our insulator and our padding district cushion. So what we want to do is we want to affix this together that we would like and so we just going to peel the backing first of all off the insulator and this is just like a tape backing. So I’m just going to peel right off, that’s going give us the sticky side. Just line up the hose—little tip for you, the cushion has the tape on both sides, if you’d like tape it to the underside of the motherboard, that’s fine but then it’s a permanent installation, so if you ever think that you’re going to change the fan in your system, I wouldn’t remove the tape from both sides.
But first things first, you’re going to see that there are four of two different length screws. For the socket 775, we’re actually going to use the longest screws. We’re just going to put this motherboard right over again and once again, we’re going to line up our mounting plate here. We’re going to do that just by sticking the screw through and we do that on and off four corners of the Socket 775 hose. There, just like that. Okay, so that’s ready to be mounted on the motherboard.
Always be very, very gentle when you’re doing these kinds of things. I tend to hold things—you know hold it with little bit of looseness to it. So, you don’t’ want to scratch the underside of the board, damage some of the soldering joints or anything like that, you go to be very careful of this kind of things. Okay, there we are. And now from the pilot screws and things, you see these little red washers. These are nice, little insulators there, we’re going to put one on each screws taking up here and next we have these little guys which going to screw right on the screws, its going to hold everything in place.
Now when we tighten these screws, we have to keep in mind that we want them to be nice an snug but we don’t want to tighten them so much when we’re—whenever we’re screwing it to a motherboard, you don’t want to tighten so much that you could crack the motherboard. So we want to be careful of that.
So we’re just going to use our thumbs to—well our finger to hold the knot in place and then on the other side, we’re going to use our Phillip screwdriver just to tighten those up, just enough that things are nice and snug.
Always be careful when you’re holding your motherboard as well, that we don’t bend any of the capacitors or any thing that is connected to the board. Again, it’s all about just being very gentle with it and we don’t want to damage anything as for doing this.
And there we are. We’re going to add this thermal compound at the top of our processor which we’ve already cleaned up, just open that up and just put it right in the middle, it’s the pressure when you add the—you tighten up the water block, it’s going to swish that and make it flat. So we don’t need to actually flatten it on the process, just a little pea sized ball. Now we take our CPU water block, remove the protective tape from the bottom and never touch that copper, that’s why the plastic is there, just to keep that nice and clean.
So now, we slowly, carefully and as lovely as possible, drop that down on top of the CPU, recently we want to be level with that because we want that thermal grease underneath to get even—an even coating underneath. Grab your thumb screws now. We’re just going to put those right on our screws. Make sure those are nice and snug, nice and even. Don’t tighten up one before you tighten up all of them. Going to tight them all equally at the same time because again, we want this to go down nice and level. So our CPU water block for the Thermal Take Big Water 780e is ready to go.
Nice and easy; install was a breeze. Now were going to put our motherboard back into our chassis.
