After placing the water block, the Backplate must be attached to the
backside of the motherboard using Allen Key 2.5 mm (shown in the image).
While holding the water block and the motherboard with one hand,
align the Backplate with the Mounting Screws of the water block.
Turn the mounting nuts using Allen Key 2.5 mm in the clockwise
direction according to the numerical order shown in the image. Do
not tighten fully until all of the nuts are partially screwed in. After the
Backplate is tightened, put three (3) M2 x 2.5 screws in the holes of
the water block and tighten them.
EK recommends using the EK-Loop Torque Screwdriver - 0.6Nm:
