Align the water block over the mounting screws on the LGA-20XX
motherboard with pre-installed CPU.

to remove the protective foil from the backside of the
water block.
Place an enclosed compression spring and thumb nut over each M3
thumb screw. Start fastening two thumb nuts at a time, preferably in cross

The installation of the CPU water block is now complete.
With EK-Supremacy Classic RGB series water blocks it

of the water block as INLET port. Mixing the ports may
result in less than ideal thermal performance of the
water block.
