Depending on your radiator mounting setup, please use the appropriate screws to mount the radiators:
Note: Always use washers to prevent damage.

DIRECT MOUNTING

For mounting in which the radiator fits directly onto the case, please install the fan(s) first using the 30mm fan screws. Use the 5mm case screws and washers to mount the radiator.

Connect the 3-pin pump power cable of the pump embedded in the radiator to the 4-pin CPU_OPT, PUMP or AIO_PUMP connectors on the motherboard. We suggest to set it to full speed in the BIOS.
