REVERSING THE FLOW DIRECTION
Magnitude 115X and 20XX CPU Water Blocks can be assembled
with each part in multiple orientations to deliver exactly the same
thermal and hydraulic performance when the flow direction or
branding must be reversed. For AM4 versions it is not recommended
to rotate the Insert relative to the CPU socket due to its asymmetrical
design. The following orientations will deliver optimal performance:
To prevent any possible incorrect assemblies the Screw hole
pattern is not square. Consequently the Top, Frame, Insert, Jet Plate
and Coldplate can only be rotated by 180° otherwise it will not be
possible to install the Screws. The Accent, O-Ring and LED Strip may
be installed in any orientation. The Insert can be rotated by following
the steps on the next page.
STEP 1
Unscrew the four Screws from the bottom of the CPU Water Block
in an anticlockwise direction, then remove the Frame and Coldplate.
A 2.5mm Allen (hex) key is supplied for this. If an LED Strip is already
installed and you do not wish to change where the cable exits then
the Frame does not need to be removed from the cable.
