The back-plate is held in place by 4 screws with hex heads on them. Attaching the back-plate is a good example of where clear instructions and readable diagrams would have been helpful. It's not that it's over complicated, it's not, it's just that it's a real faff and, as gently alluded to above is not made any easier by the lack of a clear set of instructions. It's the same as the 212 plus, but boy could it have done with not being the same.

While I have the button labelled "RANT MODE" fully depressed lets talk about the fitting of the 212 EVO. OK, so perhaps not quite as bad as that but there were a few elements of detail which I later picked up on which owing to the size of the pictures could not be discerned from the instructions. Now assuming that the product is not intuitive (or I'm being a bit dim, which as i've already said couldn't possibly be the case) and I'm left in the very awkward position of having to secretly read the instructions (usually involves locking the office door or waiting until the good lady has popped out less she discover me and begin to doubt my masculinity).Where was I.ah yes, if I've actually got to resort to reading the instructions then they should at least be legible, and by legible I mean the diagrams should be large enough to see without the use of a scanning electron microscope. Not so much a failure in myself you understand (I am a bloke remember), but as a failing in the product itself in not being intuitive enough to assemble without instructions.

Now as you might know from previous reviews, as I'm a bloke I will always class having to to look at instructions as some small failure. First off, the instructions provided although magnificent in their multi language/multi processor splendour are just too darned small to be of any real use. Lets not beat about the bush here, if this page has a lot on it then i've not had a wonderful time fitting the cooler.
