EXTREME PERFORMANCE LCD LIQUID CPU COOLER
iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Display Liquid CPU Cooler
Note: Most newer PC cases include a CPU cut-out to allow access to the
bottom of the motherboard. If your case does not include a cut-out, you will
need to remove your motherboard from the case prior to installation. RGB
Series coolers come with the Intel mounting bracket pre-installed on the pump
for quick installation.
Please ensure you power down your entire PC before installation.
The LCD Module, the pump, and the Commander CORE are sensitive to hotplugging
and ESD.

FAQ
1. How do I know the direction of the air flow of the fan?
An arrow located on the side of the fan indicates the direction of air flow.
2. Can I reuse the pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler for re- installation?
Re-installation of the cooler will require you to clean off the pre-applied thermal paste and apply an aftermarket paste.
3. What orientation should I install my radiator?
The best way to install a radiator is with the tubes on the bottom of the case, though you can install it with the tubes in any position, including an inverted radiator, as long as the highest point in the radiator is visibly higher than the CPU pump.
4. My cooler and fans are blinking red or not functioning. What do I do?
lease double check all connections from the cooler and fans to the Commander CORE. Ensure that the Commander CORE and LCD module are update to the most recent firmware via iCUE.
