Installation

Installation for Intel

Step 1 Step 2

In the retail box you find the Frio CPU cooler, an additional 120mm fan, a back-plate and an accessory box. (Bag A: LGA1366; Bag B LGA1156; Bag C: LGA775; bag D: AM2/AM2+/AM3) and another bag with the soft mounts for the second cooler fan and the cooling paste.

To install the additional second fan, take out ant-vibration soft mounts and slip the thicker base into the hole of the fan holder frame.

Step 3 Step 4
Put the 120mm fan on the top of the fan frame and pull the soft mounts and move them into the holes in the corners of the fan. Make sure each soft mount is holding the fan. Installation of the second fan is done.

Take out Intel back-plate, clip, nuts and screws from accessory bag. Fasten the Intel Clip to pre-drilled screw holes in the base of the Frio with a screw driver. Make sure the clips are fastened tightly to the Frio.

Step 5 Step 6
Remove the protective cover from the base of the Frio Place black washers on each bolt.
Step 7 Step 8

Apply Themaltake grease on the top of CPU

Place Frio onto the motherboard and make sure the exhausted flow fan is on I/O device side
Step 9 Step 10

Flip the motherboard over and place it on top of the Frio retention clip. Put the back-plate and nuts onto the motherboard.

Fasten the back-plate to motherboard with a screw driver by the reference order and make sure the back-plate is fastened tightly to the motherboard. Installation of Frio for Intel CPU is done.

Installation for AMD

Step 1 Step 2

In the retail box you find the Frio CPU cooler, an additional 120mm fan, a back-plate and an accessory box. (Bag A: LGA1366; Bag B LGA1156; Bag C: LGA775; bag D: AM2/AM2+/AM3) and another bag with the soft mounts for the second cooler fan and the cooling paste.

To install the additional second fan, take out ant-vibration soft mounts and slip the thicker base into the hole of the fan holder frame.

Step 3 Step 4
Put the 120mm fan on the top of the fan frame and pull the soft mounts and move them into the holes in the corners of the fan. Make sure each soft mount is holding the fan. Installation of the second fan is done.

Loosen and remove both the retention module and back plate from the front side of the motherboard, if one had been preinstalled.

Step 5 Step 6
Fasten the AMD clip to pre-drilled screw holes in the base of the Frio with a screw driver. Make sure it is fasten tightly.

Place one white washer on each bolt and remove the protective cover from the base of the Frio.

Step 7 Step 8

Apply Thermaltake grease onto the CPU.

Place Frio onto the motherboard and make sure the exhausted flow fan is on I/O device side
Step 9 Step 10

Now flip the motherboard over and place it on top of the Frio retention clip. Put the back-plate and nuts onto the back side of the motherboard.

Fasten the back-plate to motherboard with a screw driver. Make sure it is fasten tightly to the motherboard. Installation of Frio for AMD CPU is done.

Thermaltake's Frio overall is an excellent cooler. The price is well within reason even for someone on a tight budget. Thermaltake has included their variable fan control knobs on both fans to allow complete control. In the end, Thermaltakes Frio has surpassed my expectations.

A reasonable price tag combined with overclocking capabilities make the Thermaltake Frio quite an attractive cooler. Physically, it's a pretty large model, which may cause restrictions in some cases. That being said, I'm a fan of it's facade as well as it's design.

The Frio is an excellent cooler and so far I haven't really touched on its best aspect, its price. At around £40, it provides performance that's on par or slightly trailing the best air coolers out there, and considering the inclusion of the two fans, the Frio looks more of a bargain.

Even with one low-speed fan attached, the Thermaltake Frio managed to provide better cooling than the excellent Titan Fenrir (with its fan at low speed) on both Intel sockets. Better still, for overclockers who can handle the noise, the Frio was the best cooler we’ve seen for LGA1366 with both fans at high speed.

This is essential when you make products that aim to satisfy the most demanding users, who go in search of maximum performance achievable in terms of overclocking and therefore must have adequate heat dissipation.
The package designed by Thermaltake for its product is very good as always and it is not difficult to see in it the clear guidelines for use in overclocking heatsink.

Thermaltake did its homework here and it shows in every aspect.

The FRIO has the look of a high performance cooler with the nickel plated finish and excellent surface preparation on the base plate. There are no visible machining marks that you commonly see on the contact surface of the base, meaning a thinner layer of TIM and better contact for reduced temperatures. It's a cooling solution that looks good and just works.

Overall performance was excellent and our heat tests showed that the Thermaltake Frio had plenty of heat capacity to spare given that the C/W numbers were almost identical between the tests. Cooling performance can be enhanced by installing the included secondary cooling fan; in fact it is almost required when total processor output gets close to 200w.

It is not often I am surprised and truly impressed with an aftermarket CPU cooler. This is probably in large part due to my switch to using liquid cooling roughly two years ago. It takes a pretty high-end heatsink to equal the amount of performance you can get from a water cooled system. But I'm happy to report today that the Thermaltake Frio is one of those coolers.
