2 •HEX 2.0 Quick Start Guide

HEX 2.0 performance is compatible with the highest power CPUs on the market, with room

for overclocking.

Note: Most newer PC cases include access to the bottom of the motherboard. If your case does not

include this access, you may need to remove your motherboard from the case before installation.

Air ow direction is important

for peak performance.

See gure for preferred air

ow direction

• Orient internal CPU cooler fan

for this air ow direction

• Orient the CPU cooler with

respect to case air ow (case

fans) as well

• Air ow direction is marked

on bottom plastic fan

INSTALLING

BRACKETS

On the front side of

the motherboard,

attach the Intel mounting

brackets (F) (using inside

holes) to the standoffs

using the knurled nuts

(G). Note that curve of

bracket should be

facing outward.

STEP 4

ATTACH COOLER

TO BRACKETS

Remove fan shroud and

fan to provide access to

the bolts that attach to

the brackets.

Use a screwdriver to

screw the bolts into the

brackets, alternating

between screws every

half-turn.

APPLYING

THERMAL PASTE

paste or thermal pads.

Apply included thermal

paste (H) in the center

of CPU package – use a

4-5mm circle. Excessive

thermal paste can

hinder performance.

STEP 3

NOTE: Pay attention to

the bracket orientation

– any orientation you

desire is ne, but

cooler performance is

maximized when airow

direction through the

cooler matches the

direction of the PC case.

ATTACHING

BACKPLATE

Attach backplate (B)

to the back of the

motherboard using

included large standoffs

(D). Note the side

labeled “This side facing

Intel board” should face

the motherboard.

STEP 1STEP 2

INSTALLING THE

MOUNTING BARS

The motherboard

should have a stock

backplate with

mounting holes ready

to receive the included

small standoffs (C).

APPLYING

THERMAL PASTE

Clean off any residual

paste or thermal pads.

INSTALLING

BRACKETS

Stand-offs for LGA 2011

are rounded on one end

and should be placed

with rounded-side

down into motherboard

hardware.

Brackets should be

installed with curve

of the bracket as

indicated and the nut

facing down toward the

motherboard.

ATTACHING

BACKPLATE

Attach backplate (B)

to the back of the

motherboard using

included large standoffs

(D). Note the side

labeled “This side facing

face the motherboard.

INSTALLING

On the frontside of the

motherboard, attach the

AMD mounting brackets

(E) to the standoffs

using the knurled nuts

(G). Note that curve of

bracket should be

ATTACHING CABLES

Connect the included cables to the HEX 2.0 cooler. To make connections easier, it is recommended

to connect the cables in the following order:

6-pin PCIe power cable

from power supply.

Micro USB cable (K) –

Connect 5-pin side to USB

header on motherboard.

See diagram to the right –

most motherboard

headers have two (2) USB

positions per header. USB

connection is not required

for operation, but enables

customization via the HEX

2.0 dashboard software

application.

cable (J) – Connect other

end to CPU fan input

HEX 2.0 SOFTWARE

APPLICATION

Using the included USB

cable to connect the HEX

2.0 to your motherboard

unlocks customization

options like LED color and

cooling performance when

you visit phononic.com/

hex to download the

software application.

You can also check the status

of the cooler, check your

HEX 2.0 rmware revision,

and update the rmware to

the latest version.

FAQS

1. Does it matter which direction/orientation the cooler is installed?

Yes – for optimal performance, the air ow should move from one direction and be in line with

case fan air ow.

2. Does the unit control the fan speed?

No – the fan connector simply passes the BIOS setting through the HEX 2.0 control board. You can

still control the fan and set fan curves via BIOS or other utilities.

3. How do I know if the HEX 2.0 active cooling is working?

The best way to see how the unit is operating is to download the HEX 2.0 Software Application,

which runs on Windows OS. The app will describe the unit operation, let you know of any faults

and allow you to set LED color and change the set-point when the active cooling powers up.

4. Where can I nd HEX 2.0 rmware and app updates?

Go to phononic.com/hex for all HEX 2.0 related news, updates, and downloads.

5. I am having a technical question and/or need support.

Go to phononic.com/hex to contact customer support or call 844-476-4202 Mon-Fri during

business hours.

6. My HEX 2.0 LED is ashing red. What does this mean?

If the HEX 2.0 LED is ashing red, then there is an error that is keeping the thermoelectric device

from turning on. The heat sink will still operate in the passive mode and the fan is not effected.

However, you can run the HEX 2.0 application to see what error is being reported and then

contact Phononic support for help.

7. The cables (power/USB/fan) on my HEX 2.0 are hitting my graphics card (or other component).

What should I do?

The HEX 2.0 can be turned 180-degrees from the optimal orientation, which will move the cables

to the other side – however, remember to make sure the fan is pulling/pushing air the same way

the case fans are running. You may experience a small drop in performance. Contact Phononic

support for help with installation.

8. Will the HEX 2.0 software application run on a Linux platform?

The HEX 2.0 application is designed for Microsoft Windows platforms only at this time. We don’t

offer Linux support at this time.
