Installation

The Reveen Steropes is very easy to install: just apply some thermal paste to start and slide the silicon washers onto the backplate screws, dropping them in place.


Attach the proper mounting arms to the heatsink and make sure they are nice and tight. Once done, place the cooler onto the CPU and screw the backplate screws into the mounting arms through the back of the motherboard. This may seem a bit unorthodox, but it does work fairly well thanks to the cooler's small size.


You just have to attach the fan to the heatsink now (done for you by default) and plug the fan into the CPU fan header.

Because in part due to its simple design, the install was relatively quick and painless. With that said, I would rate the installation procedure a 10 on a scale of 1 (hardest) to 10 (easiest).
