Raijintek Adios, Themis and Ereboss CPU Cooler Review

All three of the Raijintek coolers being tested today use the same mounting bracket and, as a result, the installation process is pretty much identical.  We will be documenting the installation process on a Intel Socket 2011 motherboard.  There is detailed installation literature included which guides us through the process.

Firstly, we are instructed to screw the plugs into the standard retention points in the 2011 socket.

Then, we can position two retention bars over these and secure them using thumbscrews.

Next, the thermal paste can be applied before placing the cooler on top and securing it down with the cross brace and screws provided.

Finally, the fans can be attached using the supplied rubber plugs.  We are impressed with the mounting system as it makes installation simple.

It's a little more fiddly with the Ereboss than the other two coolers as it's more difficult to access the screw holes on the cross brace due to the size. The only slight improvement we would suggest would be to include pre-attached spring screws on the cross brace as it would simplify this part of the installation.
