So here is the phase where we slowly start assembling a test setup. First we mount the two fans to the radiator, four screws each.

The two fans have connectors you can merge together with an included y-splitter cable this leads towards the CPU FAN header on your motherboard (or whatever source you like to control the fans from). For this kit please understand that the motherboard controls the PWM fans. You can also directly lead both FAN cables to your motherboard fan headers of course. But less cable clutter is always better IMHO.

Once done, this is what the unit looks like. You need to decide where you'll be positioning your radiator and how the tubing and wiring will be managed.

Before we start to install everything please do make sure you secure and tighten the two retention brackets onto the block, no tools or screws are needed, just push them towards each other until they fit together.

The main difference is the full ATX 3.0 compatibility.
