Installation


 


The installation procedure is quite easy and practical. It is pretty much self explanatory and everything is clearly explained in the manual, so it should not be a problem even for less experienced users. The design is not completely toolless as you will still need a screwdriver in order to mount the fans and the waterblock. The pressure on the CPU is good and since the base/pump is a low profile design there shouldn't be any clearance issues as even tubing can be moved in any direction without worry of blockage or leaking.
