installation process!
Please remove your motherboard from the computer to assure safest mounting
process in order to prevent any possible damages to your CPU and/or
motherboard’s circuit board (PCB).

place since the liquid seal is ensured by the rubber o-ring gaskets.

strongly recommended for any liquid cooling system.

PREPARING YOUR MOTHERBOARD
APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND
Apply thermal compound on CPU heat spreader (IHS) with enclosed EK-TIM
Ectotherm thermal grease. The quantity of about two rice grains is just about
right. There is no need to cover the whole IHS.
Applying too much thermal grease will have negative impact on the cooling
performance!
