Backplate Installation
Install the mounting backplate part H on the back of the motherboard if you are using an Intel LGA 17XX, 12XX or 115X socket motherboard. Slide the standoffs to line up with the cooler mounting holes on your motherboard.
*Please skip this step for AMD motherboards as you will use the existing motherboard’s backplate.EVGA 400-HY-CX36-V1 Computer Cooling System Processor - Figure 17

Standoffs
Next, screw the standoff into the backplate. Fasten the standoffs to the backplate you installed in the previous step for LGA 12XX / 115X motherboards C part and LGA 17XX motherboards part D.
For AMD platforms, remove the stock AMD mounting bracket, keep the original backplate. After aligning the collars, screw in the standoff to the collars and stock AMD Backplate E.
*The collars have marked “AM5” and “AM4” on each side, facing up the correct side of collars according your AMD platform.

19 Pump Installation
Thermal paste is pre-applied to the contact surface of the pump. Install the pump by aligning the mounting holes on the retention ring with the standoffs and lower the pump evenly over the CPU. Secure the retention ring using screw nuts part I.

Fans and Radiator Installation
Install fans and radiator according to your system setup and airflow design. Use screws to attach the fan to the radiator, use screws to attach the radiator to the case, and hex key to fasten the screws. EVGA recommends that the pump  should always be below the highest point of the radiator.

Install LCD Cap
Align the hooked tab and 3 raised circles below LCD cap to the 3 indents on top of the pump, then gently press down the LCD cap into the latch to secure it.
Install the USB cable to enable PWM-tuning via CLCx software. Connect the cable from the LCD Panel to the USB 2.0 front panel header on your motherboard.EVGA 400-HY-CX36-V1 Computer Cooling System Processor - Figure

The LCD display orientation can be rotated via “EVGA CLCx” software.

Cable Connections
The CLCx includes additional cables, part and required for RGB and fan control through the CLCx software.
Connect cable part to the CLCx, then connect the SATA power cable to the SATA power cable from your power supply.
Connect the MB Fan PWM to the 4pin CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard.
Connect cable part to the Fan PWM on cable part then connect the fans to each of the connectors on cable part .
Connect each of the ARGB from the fans to each other and then connect the end to the Fan ARGB on cable part .
