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.
