Product Showcase - MonoBlock Installation

With the monoblock installed you probably want to install a nice M2 SSD right? Insert it into the upper slot as we can connect a heatsink to the monoblock, thus cooling down that M2 unit as well. Once installed your M2 SSD will never pass 50 Degrees C again and thus it will not throttle down thermally in performance. This is an awesome feature to have.

You secure the M2 sink towards the mono-block with two screws and then another two to secure the M2 unit shut. Securing the lower two screws is annoying though, the screws sit deep inside that heatsink and are nearly impossible to secure, that was actually quite irritating to accomplish. Time and patience is needed here.

And there you have it, it is time to see if the PC is still alive. Once you installed that mono-block you'll be surprized as to how much the motherboard now weighs. We'll connect the unit towards a PSU do a quick check, and then will add tubing to add the unit towards my liquid cooling loop.
