Installation:
Next, let's look at the install. I
am installing this on a socket 939 system. For in-depth installation
instructions, download the PDF File here:

The first order of business is to
remove your old heatsink, and clean off the heat paste off of your CPU.
Once you have done that, you will need to remove your heatsink retention
bracket, and install the standoffs. For most motherboards, you can screw
the threaded standoffs into the existing back plate. However, if you have
a Gigabyte motherboard, you will need to remove the back plate and use
the female standoffs, which means removing the motherboard.

Because the threads on the
standoffs weren't quite long enough to reach the back plate on my
motherboard, I ended up using the "Gigabyte" install method.

The next step is to attach the CPU
block. Installation here is pretty straight forward, just place the
block on your CPU, and screw in the brackets.

Next, just screw the fan into the
rear of the case, just like you would any case fan.

The final step is to install the
TCM. CoolIT recommends the hard drive bay, I have chosen to put it on
the power supply.

The unit installed and working
inside the NZXT Apollo. After trying to put the door on, I found that
the Karajan Audio Module on my motherboard was obstructing the Freezone
from sitting properly, keeping from closing the case door. I therefore
had to remove the Audio Module.
