After securing the water block, the stored backplate must be attached to
the backside of the motherboard using Allen Key 2.5 mm (shown in the
picture) or EK-Loop Torque Screwdriver. Start fastening the backplate
screws in a cross pattern. Do not tighten fully until all of the nuts are partially
screwed in.
The Allen Key 2.5mm must be used in a standing position!
Otherwise, the mounting screws may crack during tightening!
Make sure to orientate the backplate as illustrated. Incorrect
installation of the backplate may result in damage to the motherboard.
The motherboard backplate can be reused after the water
block is secured.
