Product Installation

The unit is making use of two 140mm Pure Wings 2 fans.  So here is the phase where we slowly start assembling a test setup. First, we mount the fans to the radiator, four screws each, it really is as easy as that.

 
The fans have connectors you can merge together with an included fan y-split cable. Then just one cable leads to the CPU FAN header on your motherboard. For this kit please understand that the motherboard should control (partially) the PWM fans. You can also use an automated modus from your motherboard BIOS. 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.

 
Now you first prepare the back-plate. We first apply the back-plate which we line up and install at the backside of the motherboard. Just push it through there. The back-plate is a bit wobbly to install though as the retention pins do not pass deep through the motherboard holes.

 
We install four standoff screws to the back-plate and then secure two bracket plates.  We'll place the CPU block on top of this all. 
  

  
You are now almost there as the one thing left to do will be to mount the CPU block. Secure the two as shown in the photo above.
 

 
You need to connect the pump and the LED wire to the left side cable, this one you connect towards a SATA feed from your power supply. To the right the included y-splitter cable for your fans.

RGB or not, the mandatory 12v for pump and LED ring leading towards a SATA connector creates far more wires clutter than I had hoped for. The better solution would have been to route the LED wire to the pump internally (there's already sleeving available), and then have one wire lead to the 12v SATA connector.
