Product Installation

We have little to do since the standoffs are already secured to the rear plate. What remains is to attach the top brackets to the standoffs and screw them in place. As the hardware runs out of threads, it will stop spinning, so screw everything in until it stops and you are certain you have put everything correctly.

We turned the motherboard to the side after installing the cooler and crossbar to get a sense of the size of the cooler. We can see that it is not too close to the RAM DIMM slots, and the outer fans are the most elevated object on the cooler in our usage.  This solution should not give you any issues with DIMMs anytime soon.

We discovered no concerns with heat sink clearance or a lack of space to conceal the surplus fan connections. To get to the second screw, insert the screwdriver into the cooler's opening.

Finally, use the provided fan clips to attach the fan to the CPU fan header on your motherboard. Even with the fan fitted, we have really good percent RAM clearance, which is handy if you use RGB memory.
