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:... -
Page 8: Changing The Accent
STEP 3 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 translucent D-RGB Accent can also be used to add lighting to any Screw version of Magnitude with an opaque Top. - 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 11: Replacing The Jet Plate
STEP 5 REPLACING THE JET PLATE All Magnitude CPU Water Blocks are supplied with an additional Jet Plate that is 0.1mm thicker than the default Jet Plate. If the Coldplate touches the edges of the IHS and prevents optimal contact in the Screw center then it is recommended to install the thicker Jet Plate. - Page 12 STEP 2 Choose the appropriate Jet Plate according to the table below, ensure that it is correctly aligned in the Insert and the O-Rings remain in position. Jet Plate Socket Default Jet Optional Jet 115X 0.6C 0.7C 115X - Flat Coldplate 0.5C 20XX 0.5P...

Page 13: Reversing The Flow Direction
REVERSING THE FLOW DIRECTION Magnitude 115x,1700,20XX Water Blocks 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 1 Unscrew the four Screws from the bottom of the CPU Water Block Screw in an anticlockwise direction, then remove the Frame and Coldplate. A 2.5mm Allen (hex) key is supplied for this. If an LED Strip is already installed and you do not wish to change where the cable exits then the Frame does not need to be removed from the cable.
- 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.

Page 16: Installing The Water Block - 115X, 1700 And Am4
AMD® factory Place the motherboard on an even surface and remove the Mounting UNC 6-32 Hold-down Backplate Mechanism from the plastic bags. Magnitude CPU Water Blocks Screws Clamps include only the parts required for the chosen socket. STEP 2 (AM4 ONLY) Using a Philips head screwdriver remove the four UNC #6-32 Screws which secure the plastic hold-down clamps to the motherboard. - Page 17 STEP 3 (115X ONLY) The Rubber Gasket is an essential part of the Mounting Mechanism and must be used. For installation with 115x and 1700 sockets the Inner core must be removed! Both pieces should be used for Outer part installation with AM4 sockets.

Page 18: Installing The Water Block - 20Xx
STEP 1 Place the motherboard on an even surface and remove the Mounting Standoff - M4 x 14mm Mechanism from the plastic bags. Magnitude CPU Water Blocks include only the parts required for the chosen socket. STEP 2 Install all four Standoffs tightly into the ILM Heat Sink studs by hand. - Page 19 IHS. Excessive or irregular application may lead to poor performance! This method applies for Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut Thermal Compound as supplied with all Magnitude CPU Water Blocks. STEP 3 STEP 4 Remove the protective sticker and position the CPU Water Block Water Block onto the Standoffs.
- 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.
