Once seated you can now connect the fan power cable to either your motherboard CPU FAN headers or a FAN controller. So yeah, once the motherboard is out, 10 minutes work maximum, we positioned the cooler and are ready for the first test run.

It is totally up to you how you want to position fan (front/middle/back), obviously we'd recommend it to be seated in the middle. Alternatively you can add another fan later on, some clips for mounting are included as extra.

Above the finished setup - an incredible silent product that can even cope with a Core i7 4790K and a nice overclock as well.

I positioned the heat-pipe direction towards the DIMM slotts, as you can see, all DIMMs can be installed as the asymmetrical design includes spacing for the DIMM slots. Great stuff. The opposing side has the same thing, handy for X99 platforms with DIMMs on both sides.
