  Product Installation

The Fluctus 120 PWM fans are pre-installed on the radiator, making installation quick and simple. The pump-block unit features integrated mounting hardware for both Intel and AMD platforms, and is controlled by PWM for ideal noise output. The fans are daisy-chained together, reducing cable management to just two cables leaving the pump-block unit. The product comes with a three-year warranty and the fans have a 100,000 hours MTBF rating.

Installing the cooler is a simple process, however, note that the motherboard must be removed from the chassis unless the chassis has a cutout specifically for CPU cooling. To begin, align the nuts on the backplate with the holes on the motherboard and move them into place. It is important to ensure that the backplate is positioned correctly, as there is no alternative method. The design of the bracket is robust and easy to install.

 
The pump block was easily installed by inserting the threaded stand-offs into the default backplate, applying the paste, and securing it with the spring and thumbscrew. The pre-installed fans also made radiator installation quick and simple, and the manageable number of cables was easy to route neatly. We do find the FAN wire that leads to your motherboard to be rather short in length.
