After placing the water block, use eight (8) M2.5 x 4 AX1 screws and

outward to prevent damaging the GPU. Always use a plastic washer
under each screw.
After attaching the PCB, use one (1) M2.5 x 6 AX1 Screw in
combination with (1) M2.5 Nut and one (1) additional M2.5 x 4 AX1
Screw to secure the I/O Bracket.
