4.1. Prepare Motherboard

For AMD AM5/AM4 Motherboards:

  1. Remove the motherboard's plastic CPU cooler retention brackets. Keep the original backplate in place.
  2. Install the four red standoffs into the motherboard's CPU cooler mounting holes.
  3. Place the two metal brackets (marked 'AM4' or 'AM5') onto the standoffs.
  4. Secure the metal brackets with the provided screws using a screwdriver.

Pou kat manman Intel LGA1700 yo:

  1. Adjust the mounting hole position on the universal backplate to '1700'.
  2. Enstale plak dèyè a nan dèyè kat manman an.
  3. Install the four 1700 standoffs onto the backplate screws from the front side of the motherboard.
  4. Place the two Intel brackets onto the standoffs, ensuring the backplate screws pass through the LGA1700 holes on the brackets.
  5. Fikse sipò yo ak nwa yo bay yo.

4.2. Install Waterblock and Radiator

  1. Apply the provided thermal compound to the CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS).
  2. Remove the protective sticker from the waterblock's coldplate.
  3. Carefully place the waterblock onto the CPU, aligning the waterblock bracket nuts with the screws on the installed motherboard brackets.
  4. Tighten both screws on the waterblock bracket with a screwdriver to apply even mounting pressure. Tighten in a diagonal pattern until snug.
  5. Mount the 360mm radiator to an available fan mounting location in your PC case (e.g., top, front). Ensure proper airflow direction.

4.3. Koneksyon kab

  1. Connect the waterblock pump power cable to the CPU_OPT or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
  2. Connect each of the three fan's 4-pin PWM headers to the provided PWM splitter cable.
  3. Connect the PWM splitter cable to the motherboard's CPU_FAN header.
  4. Remove the protective caps from the ARGB 3-pin connectors on the fans.
  5. Connect the ARGB 3-pin connectors to sync the ARGB lighting.
  6. Connect the ARGB lighting cable to the motherboard's +5V ARGB header for lighting control.
  7. Connect the USB data cable (Type-C end) to the waterblock LCD and the other end (USB 2.0 header) to an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This is for LCD display control and software communication.

5. Operasyon Enstriksyon
