1. Read the Product Fitting Recommendations

Take a few minutes to read the instructions that come with the pack. Be careful to heed warnings about not placing materials directly over ventilation holes, or any moving parts or other components that will require airflow for cooling.

2. Turn the Power Off

Turn the power off to your computer and unplug the power lead from the mains supply. You will need to unplug all the other wires to keyboard, mouse and peripherals etc.

3. Open the Case

Depending on your case design, you will need to remove or slide off the outer case sides by various means. Most case designs will require you to unscrew and remove the case mounting screws.

4. Clean (if Necessary)

Any dust and debris will need removing prior to adhering the materials to interior surfaces. Take extra care not to damage components if you are planning to use a vacuum cleaner (or similar). Wipe the interior case sides with a very lightly damp cloth and allow the surfaces to dry.

5. Plan

Plan the installation of the materials in the pack by having a thorough look at the case design. Don't be tempted to miss out this stage - you will get better results if you carefully judge where it is best to install the materials. Pay careful attention to how the case sides and top of the case are fitted.

6. Measure Up

Measure the largest surface areas that you will want to cover. This will normally be the sides, top and base of the case. Calculate the optimal use of the materials to cover these largest surfaces first.

7. Cut The Largest Templates First

Cut the materials to the measurements you have made - starting with the largest pieces first.

Take care when cutting the materials.

8. Remove the Backing Paper

Peel off the self-adhesive backing paper. You may find it helpful to peel it partially at first, so you can easily position materials, and then remove the remaining backing paper as you progress.

9. Adhere

Lightly adhere to surfaces at first, making sure that the material is correctly positioned. If you make a mistake - it can be re-applied for a second attempt - but be aware that excessive re-application will cause a deterioration in the adhesive. Once well positioned, press the materials firmly into place (especially around edges and rivets etc.) - this 'sets' the adhesive.

10. Cut out Any Awkward Shapes

Cut out shapes so that the material fits snugly and flat against the case interior. The flexibility of the material should allow you to cut out shapes easily that are tricky or difficult.

11. Use Up Any Leftover Material

You may like to use up any spare materials in odd suitable places, such as behind the plastic front of the case. Once again, take care not to accidentally obscure any fans, or other vents required for air circulation.

12. Reassemble the Case

Refit the sides and top of the case, and secure. Reattach the various cables and the mains power supply.

13. Monitor CPU and System Temperatures

We recommend you monitor your CPU and system temperatures. Most modern motherboards have temperature sensors which allow you to monitor the processor and system temperatures using software. If you do not have any temperature-monitoring software then this information can normally also be viewed using the system BIOS (see your system board manual).

Temperature-monitoring software may be available with the software that was shipped with your system board or from the manufacturers website. Free utilities like Motherboard Monitor display CPU running temperature and other useful information like various fan speeds for systems running Windows® (subject to compatibility with your system board).

14. Enjoy!

Your computing experience should be dramatically improved! Using these materials doesn't guarantee to remove all noise, but in our experience the noise levels are reduced to an acceptable level, and any remaining noise is at lower frequencies - which are are kinder to the ear. Enjoy the peace and quiet!
