Ensure the backplate and mounting hardware match the chosen CPU socket, position the cooler to provide sufficient clearance for memory modules and case panels, and connect the fan and ARGB headers to the motherboard. Apply thermal paste between the CPU heatspreader and the cooler base before fastening. Verify fan rotation and ARGB operation before closing the case.
Usage recommendations
For optimal results, use a compatible motherboard header for PWM fan control and an ARGB header if you intend to use the lighting; keep clear airflow paths within the case and check RAM clearance before final installation.
