Fitting the Waterblock (AMD)

1. Remove the plastic film from the base of the
waterblock.

4. Place a spring and washers over each bolt.

Bolt >Nut >Spring >Metal washer >Plastic Washer

3. Place the waterblock onto the CPU and line-up the
mounting plate with the holes on the motherboard.

5. Place each of the bolts through the mounting plate
and loosely screw into the backplate using the knurled

section of the bolt [A]. When all 4 bolts are loosely
fitted, tighten each bolt [A].

6. Use the lower knurled nut [B] to adjust the pressure
on the CPU. Make sure to apply equal pressure to

each spring.

2. Apply a thin layer of thermal paste to the CPUs heat
spreader.

The installation process below is shown without the tubing connected. This has been done so the installation process

can be seen clearly, without any obstructions.
