Chapter 2 - Installation
Step 1: Prepare Water Block Brackets
Attach the appropriate mounting brackets (C for Intel, D for AMD) to the CPU cooler water block (A). For AMD, ensure the side with two bumps faces upwards.
[Diagram: Shows attaching Intel brackets (C) or AMD brackets (D) to the water block (A). For AMD, indicates the side with two bumps facing up.]Step 2: Install Intel Backplate
Place the Intel Backplate (B) onto the back of the motherboard, aligning it with the CPU socket mounting holes.
[Diagram: Illustrates the Intel Backplate (B) being positioned on the rear of a motherboard around the CPU socket.]Step 3: Prepare for Mounting
Remove the protection film from the water block's contact surface and apply thermal paste (E).
[Diagram: Shows removing a protective film from the water block base and applying thermal paste.]Step 4: Mount Cooler on Intel Platforms
For Intel LGA 115X/1200/1700: Place the water block assembly (A with Intel brackets C) onto the CPU. Insert Intel Screw Studs (G3) through the backplate (B) and into the water block assembly.
For Intel LGA 2011: Use Intel Screw Studs (G4) following a similar procedure.

Attach the fans to the radiator using the provided screws. Then, mount the radiator assembly to the PC case using Case Screws (G5).
[Diagram: Shows fans being attached to the radiator, and the radiator assembly being mounted to a PC case.]Step 7: Connect Cables
Connect the 3-pin connector from the pump unit to the AIO/PUMP socket on the motherboard.
Connect the 4-pin fan PWM connector to the CPU_FAN socket on the motherboard.
Connect to the 5V ARGB LED socket on the motherboard for lighting effects.
