Take the waterblock and remove the sticker from the cold plate.
Align the water block over the mounting screws on the LGA-2011(-3)
motherboard with pre-installed CPU.
Before proceeding with the installation it is mandatory 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 a cross pattern and do not tighten them fully until all of them are
partially screwed in. Then - using your fingers only - screw in all four
thumb nuts until you reach the end of the thread.

STEP 4
Tighten the fitting barbs in clockwise direction until the gasket
underneath is compressed.
The installation of the CPU water block is now complete.
With EK-Supremacy Classic series water blocks it is
mandatory to use the port that is nearest to the center of
the water block as INLET port. Mixing the ports may result
in less than ideal thermal performance of the water block.
