STEP 3
Remove the sticker from the water block cold plate.
Align the water block over the mounting screws on the LGA 2011(-3)
motherboard with a pre-installed CPU.
Before proceeding with installation, it is mandatory to remove
the protective foil from the backside of the water block.
Place an enclosed compression spring and a thumb nut over
each M3 thumb screw. Start fastening two thumb nuts at a time,
preferably in a cross pattern, but do not tighten them fully until all
four 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 a 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 closest to the center of the water
block as the INLET port. Mixing these ports up may result in
poor thermal performance of the water block.
