Install the back-plate

Peel of the protective paper and mate the back-plate to the back of the
motherboard, ensuring that all 4 standoffs are completely engaged in the
CPU mounting holes.

Prepare the CPU

Clean the CPU with a degreaser (preferably formulated for electronics)
then apply the supplied grease to the center of the CPU.

Installez la plaque de renfort

Enlevez le papier protecteur et appliquez la plaque de renfort à l’arrière
de la carte mère en vous assurant que les 4 standoffs sont bien engagés
dans les trous de montage du CPU.

Préparez le microprocesseur

Nettoyez le CPU avec un dégraissant (de préférence spécialement
conçu pour les composants électroniques), puis appliquez la pâte
thermique fournie au centre du CPU.

Instale la Placa de Refuerzo

Quite el papel protector de la placa y colóquela detrás da la placa base,
asegurándose de que los 4 tirantes estén perfectamente insertados
dentro de los orificios de montaje del CPU.

Prepare el microprocesador

Limpie el CPU con un desengrasante (preferentemente especialmente
diseñado para los componentes electrónicos), y aplique la pasta
térmica incluida en el kit en el centro del CPU.

Fasten the block to the motherboard

relative to the socket. As shown above, either one of the waterblock
sides featuring 3 screws MUST be parallel and adjacent to the CPU
socket locking lever.

Install the tubing

The coolant inlet is identified by a detachable plate (XT version only).
It is factory installed in its optimum position, i.e. at the center of the
block, but it can also be rotated 180° to allow the installation of large
compression fittings (G ¼ standard thread). Some thermal and
hydraulic performance degradation is inevitable when the plate is
rotated.
