Mounting System

The mounting system on the Evo 120 V2 is a pretty fiddly affair, with two wing-plates requiring attachment to the base of the cooler to fit the LGA 775 format.

With the two plates attached, the next step is to insert the four screws through the backing plate and place it through the bottom of the motherboard. After flipping the board upright, four cardboard washers are placed over the bolts and followed up by brass threaded nuts.

Next up, four rubber washers are placed onto the nuts and the thermal paste applied to the CPU itself. With everything ready, the cooler is lowered onto the bolts and secured in place with further set of four nuts - one in each corner.

Due to the shape of the Evo 120 V2 and most of its weight being on one side, it's very easy to mount the cooler unevenly. So extra care should be taken to ensure the cooler is seated well before powering up the system.

Fitment Time

With a fitment time of 720 seconds (12 minutes), the Evo 120 V2 managed to place 21st out of 27. This was largely due to the fact that the fan needs to be removed to allow the user enough space to secure the cooler in place.
