Mount the radiator assembly to an available fan mount location in your PC case (e.g., front, top, or rear). Use the shorter screws to secure the radiator to the case.

4.4. Podłączanie kabli

• Podłącz 3- lub 4-pinowy kabel zasilający pompę do złącza CPU_FAN lub AIO_PUMP na płycie głównej.
• Connect the fan power cables to available fan headers on your motherboard or a fan controller. Use the Y-cable if necessary.
• Connect the ARGB cable from the pump and fans to a 3-pin 5V ARGB header on your motherboard. Ensure it is a 5V header, not a 12V RGB header, to prevent damage.
• Connect the USB cable from the pump to an available internal USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This is essential for the display functionality and software control.
