INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK ASSEMBLY
Align the water block with the processor carrier attached over the
mounting screws on the LGA-4189 motherboard. Make sure the
processor is oriented correctly, aligning the PIN 1 corners on the
processor carrier and the socket.
Lower the water block onto the LGA-4189 socket integrated latch
mechanism (ILM). Press the latches into the locked position to level
the water block and ensure even contact across the whole CPU.
Next, use a T30 TORX screwdriver and tighten the corner nuts. Make
sure to tighten them in a cross pattern.
It is recommended to remove the motherboard from the
PC chassis before proceeding with the installation of
the processor and water block assembly because of the
space constraints of different computer cases.
The installation of the CPU water block is now complete.
