Alpenföhn ATLAS Mini-ITX/Micro-ATX CPU Cooler Review
Peter Donnell / 9 years ago
Installation
Installing the Atlas is a relatively simple process, which takes about ten minutes in total. Four long screws go through the appropriate holes in the backplate and are then held in place by four rubber caps.
Once the backplate is in place, add the Intel or AMD retention brackets and secure them with the four thumb screws.
Apply your thermal paste, then use the retention bar to screw the cooler onto the already installed bracket.
]The ergonomics of the cooler make it easy to orientate it any way you need the fans to be facing, although that’s not really an issue for us on an open test bench.
The fans mount using retention clips and overall, the whole thing was easy enough to install; it looks pretty great too.
