Product Installation
Mounting the cooler is a relatively easy thing to do, though the motherboard needs to come out of the chassis unless you have a chassis with a mainboard cutout for CPU cooling. First, prepare the backplate. We first apply four long retention screws to the backplate which we then line up and install at the backside of the motherboard. Just push is through there.
Once done you need to mount two horizontal metal brackets onto the block (btw I am talking the Intel mounting here) in which you mount a screw, spring, washer, and bolts each.
You are now almost there as the one thing left to do will be mounting the CPU block and the wiring.
Alphacool is delivering a syringe of thermal paste with the kit. A drop of it is plenty enough.
Once seated you can secure and connect the pump. Of course, connect the RGB setup as well. Once the motherboard is out this all takes like 15 minutes of work tops, we positioned the cooler and are ready for the first test run.
