Installation with a fan-controller
Owners of high-end computer systems may have a fan-controller which works completely separate or
connected with software. If you do not own a fan-controller and want to use this installation version,
you can buy a simple fan-controller system or standard potentiometer will do for the installation of the
Liquid MetalPad.
In the following example a simple rotary-potentiometer is used for installation:

Example for the installation with a simple hardware fan-control
Separate the specific fan cable from the board and connect it to the fan controller
(potentiometer). Now connect the fan control cable with the motherboard fan-plug. Check
the installation / application again and read if necessary the manual of the fan control.
Restart the computer and watch closely whether the fan is running or not. The fan should
run at maximum performance, which you can adjust with the fan control (rotate the rotary-
potentiometer knob

Restart the computer and watch closely whether the fan is running or not. The fan should
run at maximum performance, which you can adjust with the fan control (rotate the rotary-
potentiometer knob
). If the fan doesn’t work you have to check the connections between
the fan, fan control and the motherboard again. (Please note that the computer has to be
switched off.)
When everything is working you can boot into Windows or enter the computer BIOS with
the DEL button. Most motherboards provide hardware monitoring of the CPU, chipset and
fan status in the BIOS. The computer is under load in if you
switched off.)

are in the BIOS. If you don’t
want to or can’t use the BIOS you can monitor the temperatures with a software tool

computer under load
– you can achieve this with some applications which require a lot of
CPU performance.
After the temperature has reached his final temperature adjust the fan speed with the fan
control. Decelerate the fan speed carefully and watch the temperature closely. The
temperature should rise until you have reached the melting point of the MetalPad -
according to the fan speed. You can spot it easily with a temperature curve if the
temperature is falling down (temporary). Now accelerate the fan speed to 100%. The
temperature will reduce until it has reached his final temperature

– this can take some
minutes. You should have now better temperatures (averaged 4-7°C) with the Liquid
MetalPad compared to other heat-conductive pastes, as example silicone pastes. Please

Liquid Pro”.
The installation is successful if the temperature is improved. If the temperature is not
changed repeat the installation (melting of the Liquid MetalPad).
