One of the most important things with any cooling system, is how easily it can be installed, so that anyone with little experience can proceed with the upgrade. According to the manufacturer, the Freezer 64 PRO is very simple to install. We believe this to be true since the previous Freezer 64 model was also simple in its installation.

Start by removing any previous cooling system and clean the CPU of any remains of thermal compound. Make sure you have the default plastic base of your 939 socket motherboard, the one it came with.
