Page 5: Parts And Terminology
PARTS AND TERMINOLOGY The following page shows every individual part of an assembled Magnitude CPU Water Block, all of the terminology labelled is used throughout this manual. In addition, there is a list of every physical variation of these parts and which versions they are used in. While some parts may be physically cross compatible between different Magnitude CPU Water Blocks, they should be assembled as stated for optimal performance. - Page 6 - EK Badge - Top MOUNTING EK Badge MECHANISM - Accent - LED Strip Screw - Frame • Frame - 75x75 (115X) Accent Spring • Frame - 80x80 (20XX) • Frame - 54x90 (AM4) LED Strip - O-Ring - Inlet O-Ring Frame - Insert •...

Page 7: Changing The Coldplate
CHANGING THE COLDPLATE Original Magnitude Coldplates have a subtle curvature to achieve the best possible contact with the IHS of standard CPU’s. If you Screw choose to replace or modify the IHS it is also possible to replace the Coldplate of your Magnitude with a Flat version. To install the Flat Coldplate or to re-install your original Curved Coldplate follow these instructions: STEP 1... -
Page 8: Changing The Accent
STEP 3 Put the desired Coldplate in place paying attention to the orientation, failure to do so will prevent installation of the Screws. The curvature Screw marking should be on the same side as the curvature marking of the Frame. Lastly screw in the four Screws, do not use excessive force! Curvature Marking Curvature Marking STEP 3... - Page 9 STEP 2 Accent Remove and replace the Accent. The Accent can fit in any orientation. STEP 2 STEP 3 (WITHOUT LED STRIP) If applicable refit the O-Ring between the Top and Accent. This is not O-Ring required for operation of the block but ensures the Accent is tightly fitted without an LED Strip.
- Page 10 STEP 3 (WITH LED STRIP) First insert the LED Strip though the desired corner of the Frame and then fit the LED Strip between the Top and Accent. When using a Plexi Top the LED Strip should face inwards. When using an Acetal or Nickel Top the LED Strip should face outwards.

Page 13: Reversing The Flow Direction
REVERSING THE FLOW DIRECTION Magnitude 115X and 20XX CPU Water Blocks can be assembled with each part in multiple orientations to deliver exactly the same thermal and hydraulic performance when the flow direction or branding must be reversed. For AM4 versions it is not recommended to rotate the Insert relative to the CPU socket due to its asymmetrical design. - Page 14 STEP 2 O-Ring Remove the O-Ring, Jet Plate and Insert. Jet Plate Insert STEP 2 STEP 3 Make sure that the Inlet and Jet Plate O-Rings are still correctly located inside the Insert and place it back into the Top in the desired orientation.
- Page 15 STEP 4 Put the Frame into place and then refit the O-Ring between the Frame and Top. Pay attention to the orientation of the Frame, O-Ring failure to do so will prevent installation of the Screws. The curvature marking should be in line with either end of the Jet Plate opening as illustrated.

STEP 6 Replace the Coldplate paying attention to the orientation, failure to do so will prevent installation of the Screws. The curvature marking Screw should be on the same side as the curvature marking of the Frame. Lastly screw in the four Screws, do not use excessive force!

STEP 5 Standoff - M4 x 21mm Loosely install all four Standoffs and Plastic Washers before proceeding to tighten them completely. It is mandatory for 115X and AM4 to install the Plastic Washers as they prevent damage to the motherboard PCB. Using pliers or similar tools is not recommended.

Once clean apply a line of Thermal Compound on one edge of the IHS and use a credit card or similar to spread it evenly.

- Page 20 STEP 5 Insert all four Springs inside the Frame. Spring STEP 5 STEP 6 Screw Loosely insert all four Screws before proceeding to tighten them two revolutions at once in a cross pattern. Stop when every Screw is flush with its hole inside the Frame! Repeat this process from Step 3 onwards after observing the spread of Thermal Compound if you are not certain with the installation.
