Installation of ZEROtherm BTF80
The ZEROtherm BTF80 is very simple to install with only three major components, a back brace and two top retention bracket for either the Intel LGA775 or AMD processors. This is probably one of the easiest install I have ever come across, even easier that the previous month's Gigabyte CPU coolers.
The clearance above the mainboard to the BTF80 is slightly smaller with the combinationthat the BTF80 is slightly broader than most other small tower CPU coolers make it a little bit tricky when installing onto a high-end motherboard with large chipset/mosfet coolers and heatpipes. But it can fit!
High performance thermal paste is included and when the unit is on and running a beautiful red LED lights up the fantastic design. Surprisingly this is the first time I've seen an aftermarket CPU cooler with a 4-pin PWM connector that actually utilises the motherboard's all 4 pins of the CPU_Fan header.
