Mounting
Assembly is simple and does not need to be explicitly described. It is important that the pads are placed on the cooler and not on the PCB, so that they do not fall off or slip when the PCB is turned over and placed on the cooler. Only the memory and voltage transformer areas are occupied here. The two small pads can actually be left out, since the small buck controllers underneath hardly get warm to the touch.
I also have to say a word about the thermal paste, because the chip is quite large. Ideally, you should use a slightly more viscous paste that doesn’t contain as much silicone, which will then stay where you put it and bleed out over time. For this reason, Alphacool relies on the rock-solid Subzero here in the accessories. If you want something fluffier and even better performance, you should take a look at Alphacool’s new Rise. But even so, the result is perfectly fine.
Then you finally screw the whole thing together, connect the hoses and you’re done. Well, not quite, because there is still air in the water block when it is first switched on, with a bit of bad luck. However, this should be quickly dealt with by slightly swiveling (when using tubes) or tilting the entire system (hard tubes) and lightly tapping against the cover. It is best to connect the pump to an external power supply and leave the system de-energized for the time being
Of course, you also have to connect the aRGB header to the motherboard. This is fast and compatible to every current motherboard with 5V digital output. Let’s compare the new with the old and be happy about the better look:

For those interested, I have simply attached here times the manual for them assembly as a PDF, there is then also the rest described for the successful water battle.
