Intel socket LGA-1155/1156, LGA-1366 and LGA-2011
-
AMD socket S754/939/940, AMD AMx and FM1
Caution:
Narrow server type LGA-2011 is not supported by default – a
Mounting plate Supremacy LGA-2011
Narrow ILM
(EAN: 3830046990600) is mandatory to install this water block on narrow server type LGA-
2011 motherboards.

STEP 3.1 (optional): INSTALLING AMD MOUNTING PLATE AND REPLACING JET PLATE PROCEDURE
1) Place water block on an even surface and remove the four M4x14 DIN7991 screws attaching the top to the copper base using the enclosed 2.5mm
Allen key.
2) Replacing mounting plate:
2.1) Replace the Intel mounting plate with AMD one. You will feel the mounting plate locking into the position when placed correctly on to the top.
2.2) Reseat the larger o-ring gasket (57x2 mm) into the gap between the mounting plate and water block top. Skip to step #4 to complete installation.
3) Replacing jet plate (OPTIONAL):
3.1) Remove the default jet J3 (0.7mm thick) and replace it with jet J1, J2 or jet J4, depending on your CPU platform. You will feel the jet plate locking
into the position when placed correctly to the top. Reinstall smaller o-ring gasket if needed prior to replacing jet plate.
4) Carefully place copper base to waterblock top assembly, make sure gaskets stay in place!
Beware of copper base orientation!
5) Repeat step #4 if necassery. Screw in all four (4) M4x14 DIN7991 screws using the enclosed 2.5mm Allen (hex) key.
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.
The rubber backplate has a partially cut inner part which needs to be removed when installed on Intel
LGA-115x and LGA-1366 motherboard. The rubber is held on four places and can be peeled away with
hand. These two pieces can be reassembled later if needed.
Intel LGA-115x and LGA-1366 socket
:
Remove the inner core of the rubber and use the outer part only.
AMD sockets
:
Use the whole rubber backplate including the inner core.
