4. INSTALLATION  INTEL LGA115X SOCKET

Step 1: Removing the motherboard

If your PC case doesn't have a cutout from the

bottom CPU side of the motherboard, you will

ﬁrst need to remove the motherboard from

your computer.

Step 2: Attaching the backplate to the

motherboard

Install the Intel backplate for LGA-115x socket

to the back of your motherboard. Align the

holes on the motherboard with the holes on

the backplate.

Intel LGA 115x

Backplate

Step 3: Attaching mounting screws

Install 4x LGA-115x mounting thumb screws

through your motherboard to the backplate.

Step 6: Mounting brackets

installation

Use four M4x4 screws to install two Intel

brackets onto the pump unit.

Be careful not to touch or damage the pre-

applied thermal compound!

Step 4: Installing the fans to the

radiator

Attach the fans (1x, 2x or 3x, depending on the

AIO version) to the radiator using the UNC 6-32

x 30mm screws.

Step 5: Removing the cold-plate

protective cover

Remove the protective cover from the

backside of the pump unit. It is there only to

prevent the damage of the cold-plate and the

pre-applied thermal compound that is on the

cold-plate.

When removing the protective cover and

proceeding with installation be careful not

to touch or damage the pre-applied thermal

compound!

Step 7: Pump unit installation

Wipe the CPU’s contact surface (using a

non-abrasive cloth pr a Q-tip as shown in the

sample image).

Align the pump unit over the mounting screws

and CPU as shown in the picture.

Place the enclosed compression springs and

thumb nuts over the mounting screws (4x). Start

fastening two thumb nuts at a time, preferably

in cross pattern, and do not tighten them fully

until all of them are partially screwed in.

Connector

VDG Connector

4-pin Connector

Step A:

Plug the 4-pin PWM connector of the pump to

the motherboard.

D-RGB Header

RGB Header

Step B:

Plug the 3-pin connector of the pump’s

D-RGB LED light to the D-RGB HEADER on

the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin

layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Digital,

Empty, Ground. With some motherboards, you

can alternatively use a VDG connector instead

of a D-RGB to connect the LED.

Please ensure that the arrow

indicated on the connector is

plugged into the +5V line as

indicated on your motherboard. If

you put LED Diode to the 12V RGB

HEADER you can damage the LEDs.

Connector is the same on D-RGB

and RGB versions, but D-RGB

version has 3 cables from connector

to PCB; RGB version has 4 cables. If

you connect D-RGB led to ordinary

RGB header you can damage your

motherboard or LED strip.

Step 8: Installing the assembly of

fans and the radiator into a PC case

Attach the assembly of the radiator and the

fan(-s) to the PC case with the UNC 6-32 x

6mm screws.

Connector

Fan Connector

Step A:

OPTION 1:

Connect the 4-pin PWM connector from the

fan cable directly to the CPU fan-header on the

motherboard. Always use the CPU fan-header

if possible.

OPTION 2:

In the case of EK-AIO 240 D-RGB and EK-AIO

360 D-RGB versions (with 2 or 3 fans), you may

connect the connectors from each of the fans

with the connectors on the Y-splitter cable and

then connect the Y-splitter connector to the

fan-header on the motherboard. Always use

the CPU fan-header if possible.

Step B:

OPTION 1:

Plug the 3-pin connector for D-RGB LED light

of the fan(-s) to the D-RGB HEADER on the

motherboard.

RGB Header

OPTION 2:

In the case of EK-AIO 240 D-RGB and EK-AIO

360 D-RGB versions, you may ﬁrst connect 2

or 3 fans together in a “daisy-chain” connection

and then connect them all together to a D-RGB

header on the motherboard.

5. INSTALLATION  INTEL LGA20XX SOCKET

Step 1: Attaching mounting screws

(LGA-20xx)

LGA-20xx (2066 / 2011 V3 / 2011) socket

motherboards do not require backplate

installation. Install 4x LGA-20XX mounting

thumb screws into M4 threaded stubs on the

integrated latch mechanism (ILM) of the LGA-

20XX socket.

Continue installation by following

the instructions from Step 4 on

page 6

OPTIONAL step! Applying the

thermal compound

This step is relevant only in the case of a

second installation of AIO or if you have

damaged the pre-applied paste on the

backside of the pump unit! For the ﬁrst

installation, you don’t need to apply the

additional thermal compound to the CPU’s

contact surface!

Wipe the CPU’s contact surface (using a

non-abrasive cloth or a Q-tip as shown in the

sample image). On a clean IHS, apply a line

of thermal compound and spread it over the

whole CPU heat spreader (IHS) with a credit

card or something similar.

6. INSTALLATION  AMD AM4 SOCKET

Step 1: Removing the original plastic

hold-down clamps (AMD)

Using Philips-head screwdriver, remove the 4

UNC 6-32 screws securing the original plastic

hold-down clamps around the socket as

shown in the image. Keep the original AMD®

backplate and remove the hold-down clamps

to store them away. See the image for further

part identiﬁcation.

Step 2: Attaching mounting screws

(AMD)

Install 4x mounting thumb screw for AMD

AM4 socket onto your motherboard. The

screws are to be installed without the use of

tools (i.e. pliers).
