Option 1
Use the UNC 6-32 x 34mm screws to attach the
preassembled radiator-and-fans setup with the
remaining three / two fans (to have six / four
fans in total) to the PC chassis.
The orientation of the fans is crucial for
achieving the best performance of the radiator.
Install the fans so that they will push the air
through the radiator. To be sure about the fan
orientation, you can look at the position of
the EK logo on the side of the fan - it must be
oriented the same way on both the upper and
lower set of fans. It is also recommended that
cables of all fans are facing the same direction
for easier cable management.
Option 2
If there is not enough space inside your PC
chassis to place all six / four fans on the radiator,
you may position the remaining three / two
somewhere else inside your PC.
In that case, use the UNC 6-32 x 6mm screws
to attach the preassembled radiator and the
fans to the PC chassis.
STEP 9: PUMP – CONNECTING
CABLES
Step A:
Plug the 4-pin PWM connector of the pump
into the motherboard.
Do not use the same HUB that fans are
connected to - the rotational speed (RPM)
of the fan and the pump should be regulated
separately.
