Installation
General observations.
- This is an enormous cooler with increased height. Check before you buy it whether your chassis can accommodate it.
- The top display cover/display and the middle fan must be removed prior to installation.
- For AM4 and AM5 platforms, the stock motherboard mounting brackets must be removed.
- The installation process was simple and direct, with easy alignment and clear tactile feedback from the spring-loaded screws indicating correct mounting pressure and full engagement of the retention mechanism.
- Any possible RAM clearance issues can be easily addressed thanks to the front-adjustable, in-height fan.
- Middle fan installation and removal were straightforward, requiring no excessive force or additional tools.
- Cable routing was simple, and the provided Y-cable allows both fans to be connected to a single CPU fan header.
- Thermal paste is included in the package, and the base comes with pre-applied thermal paste.
