Product Installation
The installation process is described in the included manual, but you can also find it on Deepcool’s website.
Mounting this kit on a socket 115x platform is much like with any other all-In-one product. First up is the backplate. Most of the chassis available nowadays have a bit cut-out for CPU cooling, so there was no need to pull the motherboard out to install the backplate. The nuts need to be aligned with the holes in the board. Next up is the mounting bracket that needs to be secured by a total of four screws.
Give the CPU some thermal paste (I prefer Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut), and the last step is to secure the pump/block on standoff screws with four nuts. You will need to use a Phillips screwdriver, and tighten the screws diagonally. After that, connect the cables, like the block’s power wire, to the CPU FAN header and you should be ready to go. Of course, don’t forget to plug the RGB wires into the appropriate headers as well (if your motherboard has them). The pressure generated by the block is more than sufficient. The tubing is quite flexible, and allows for routing adjustments.
