Installation of any Aio-based cooling system It is very similar and, as a general rule, only the socket configuration changes, though everything is very similar. The whole process is in the hands of experts it will not take more than 10 minutes Under normal circumstances, even users who have not done so should not take the whole process for more than 30 minutes.
Pre-installation checks
First, make sure that the liquid cooling we are installing is compatible with the PC case and processor socket. Many liquid refrigerators come with them anchors for all modern desktop processes, except for the AMD Threadripper which, due to its size, requires some heatsinks. In addition, the most important thing is to look at the radius of the radiator, both its length (usually 120, 140, 240, 280 or 360 mm in particular) and size, but you should also check that other radiators have it built-in deposit
When the previous checks are completed, we must prepare the PC. Applying liquid AIO refrigerators with motherboard and processor already included in the box, unlike air ducts that can be installed with a motherboard not yet mounted. So, we have to check that the box has a hole in the back of the welding board socket to install the backplate. Besides this, we will need a screw star.
How to install AIO fluid cooling
Let's go with it. The first thing that should be done is to repair the socket, and for this we have to remove the back cover and the milking shears.
We put the backpack on the socket that covers the holes, and simply puts the screws to tighten with your fingers. In some liquid cooling models of the AIO the rear set will not be completely adjustable even if the screws are tight; Don't worry, it's normal and will always be fully configured when we install the CPU block later.
The next step is not to install the CPU block but the radiator. It is best to do this in a row because the radiator is large and heavy and very poorly handled, and if we started setting up the CPU block we would have less control space. To do this, we place it next to the part of the box that we will insert by aligning the box holes with those of the radio, and placing its corresponding screws.
Be careful of guessing, and make sure the tubes are on the side that you like to move along the CPU block. In the picture below, if we place the tubes on one side, they will collide with the rear fan case.
Once this is done, we can add fans if we want. This is mounted on a radiator with long screws. Here we have to make sure that the strands of fans tend to be glued to the motherboard, so that it can be hidden and connected properly.
Now, if the CPU block comes with pre-thermal insulation, we can continue to install it. Otherwise, we'll have to use the hot paste in the processor beforehand.
To install it, we simply put it on it by pressing with the fingers lightly (without too much pressure, enough so that it doesn't go away) by comparing the nail holes with the services we previously installed with the rear panel. We will place the screws on the top and tighten them firmly with the fingers, that is, first in the corner and then the other one by drawing, then the other two screws.
This is done, we will configure both the radius and the CPU block.
The last step is to connect all the cables. As a general rule we will have at least two cables, one from the pump and the other from the fan (in the case of several fan radiators as in this example, we will have one cable fan. Usually there will be 4 PWM fans that we will need to connect directly to the board, but other fluid cooling systems AIO's have a connector coming out of the pump to connect fans.
With these steps, we will have a liquid cooling kit ready for use.
