Time to install the CPU water block. Remember to put a paper thin layer of thermal paste on the "naked" CPU core, and install the CPU in the socket.

Now you need to use the installation holes around the CPU socket. Put screws through the holes from the back side of the motherboard (again, remember the washers). Then put guides onto the screws, and let the holes on the water block go through the guides when sliding the water block into place.

Next up are the springs again, and then some finger screws to keep it all in place. Tighten these finger screws (in criss crossed fashion) and it is set. It was a pleasure installing this cooler, and I am happy with the way the block is fixed in it's place. It seems like a very stable and secure way of attaching a water block to the motherboard.

Both the CPU water block and the chipset waterblocks are installed

Moving on to the VGA water block. First, you need to remove the cooler on your video card. You install this water block in a similar way of installing the chipset block.
