FLOW DIRECTION The prescribed flow direction is applicable for AM4 and AM5 versions. INLET OUTLET REVERSING THE FLOW DIRECTION For AM4/AM5 versions it is not recommended to rotate the Insert relative to the CPU socket due to its asymmetrical design. To prevent any possible incorrect assemblies the Screw hole pattern is not square.
CHANGING THE ACCENT It is possible to exchange the Accent on any Magnitude CPU Water Block for an Accent with a different color or material finish. A M4x14 DIN7991 translucent D-RGB Accent can also be used to add lighting to any SCREW version of Magnitude with an opaque Top.

STEP 3 (WITHOUT LED STRIP) If applicable refit the O-Ring between the Top and Accent. This is O-RING not required for the operation of the block but ensures the Accent is tightly fitted without an LED Strip. STEP 3 STEP 3 (WITH LED STRIP) First insert the LED Strip through the desired corner of the Frame and then fit the LED Strip between the Top and Accent.

STEP 4 Position the Frame on the Top paying attention to the orientation, failure to do so will prevent the installation of the Screws. The curvature marking should be in line with the Jet Plate opening as illustrated. Ensure that the Jet Plate is still aligned in the Insert and the O-Rings remain in position.
PREPARING THE AM5 MOTHERBOARD STEP 1 Using a Philips-head screwdriver remove the four UNC 6-32 screws UNC 6-32 SCREW securing the original plastic hold-down clamps around the socket as shown in the illustration. Remove the hold-down clamps and store them away. HOLD-DOWN CLAMPS STEP 1...

STEP 3 Applying thermal compound: Apply the enclosed thermal grease (thermal compound) on the CPU heat spreader – IHS – as shown in the image. The layer of the thermal compound must be thin and even in thickness over the entire surface of the IHS. The excessive or uneven application of thermal grease may lead to poor performance! For this step, you will need:...
INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK STEP 1 AM5 MOUNTING Loosely install all four (4) provided AM5 Mounting Standoffs before STANDOFF proceeding to tighten them completely. Using pliers or similar tools is not recommended. STEP 1 STEP 2 Position the CPU Water Block onto the AM5 Mounting standoffs. Make sure to align the holes (as shown in the picture).

STEP 3 Insert all four (4) saved Springs inside the Frame. MOUNTING SPRING STEP 3 STEP 4 Loosely insert all four (4) saved Screws before proceeding to tighten them (using Allen Key 2.5 mm) two revolutions at once in a cross pattern. Stop MOUNTING when every Screw is flush with its hole inside the Frame! SCREW...
CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP STEP 1 Plug the 3-pin connector from the water block’s D-RGB LED light to the DRGB HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Digital, empty, Ground. Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector is D-RGB HEADER plugged into the +5V line as indicated on your motherboard.
