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. Now you first prepare the backplate, four screws, and four rubber washers. 

We first apply the backplate which we then line up and install at the backside of the motherboard. Just push it through there. The backplate is a bit wobbly to install though as the retention pins do not pass very deep through the motherboard holes.

You can see the four holes surrounding the socket, here we insert four standoff screws and then mount the two brackets with four screws. You are now almost there as the one thing left to do will be mounting the CPU block. 

Once you seated the block you screw it secure with two screws. Turn the screwdriver until it's tight and you are done. You need to connect the pump wire towards a secondary or dedicated pump FAN header and the fans towards a FAN header.
 

Once seated you can now connect the pump lead to a motherboard FAN header, make sure it will get enough power, we recommend 9V (such values you can configure in the motherboard BIOS). The fans (connected through the y-splitter you can lead to the CPU FAN header). All this is 15 minutes of work tops, we positioned the cooler and are ready for the first test run.

The RGB controller is very handy;  you do need to connect it towards an unused SATA3 power connector. It adds a bit more cabling, but we have to admit, the controller is a very nice one with loads of RGB options, including static ;)
