STEP 4
Preparing backplate rubber gasket
The enclosed rubber gasket is essential part of
the backplate and mounting system and must be
used every time you install this water block on your
motherboard.
With AMD® Sockets you should use whole
rubber backplate including the inner core.
STEP 5
Install backplate rubber gasket and place metal back-
plate for AMD® socket to the back of your mother-
board RIBBED SIDE UP! (facing away from the moth-
erboard) Align the holes on the motherboard with holes
on rubber gasket and backplate.
Carefully rotate motherboard assembly with front side
facing up with one hand while holding the backplate and
rubber in place with the other hand.
STEP 6
Install four (4) M4 thumb screws onto your moth-
erboard. It is mandatory to put 0.7mm plastic washer
underneath each of the M4 thumb screws. Tighten the
screws to the metal backplate until you reach the end
of the thread. Using tools (such as pliers) is not recom-
mended.
STEP 7
Install the motherboard along with the thumb screws
back into the computer chassis.
