4.2. CPU Socket Preparation
Clean the CPU surface thoroughly to remove any old thermal paste. Apply a small amount of the provided thermal grease to the center of your CPU. The cooler supports Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA115X, LGA1366 and AMD AM5, AM4, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, AM2, AM1, FM2+, FM2, FM1 sockets.
4.3. Mounting the Pump Block
For Intel Sockets:
- Install the Intel backplate onto the motherboard from the rear, aligning the holes with the CPU socket.
- Place the appropriate Intel thread bolts (1851/1700, 115X/1200, or 20XX) through the backplate and motherboard holes.
- Secure the Intel mounting bracket onto the pump block.
- Carefully place the pump block onto the CPU, aligning the holes on the bracket with the thread bolts.
- Secure the pump block using the four screw nuts, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.
For AMD Sockets:
- Remove the stock AMD retention brackets from your motherboard, but keep the original backplate.
- Secure the AMD mounting bracket onto the pump block.
- Place the AMD thread bolts into the original AMD backplate holes.
- Carefully place the pump block onto the CPU, aligning the holes on the bracket with the thread bolts.
- Secure the pump block using the four screw nuts, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.
