See the 12 little tabs on the bracket? Put those through the 12 openings between the 12 tabs on the pump, then twist the bracket so that the 12 tabs on the bracket catch on the 12 tabs on the pump. Then the plastic piece should just clip onto the pump to hold the bracket in place.

The plastic is only there to hold the bracket in place until you put it in the case. Once it's in the case and mounted to the socket, the force of the screws pulling on the bracket will hold it in place even if the plastic piece comes loose.

Alright, good to know. However, the first thing I did was mount the backplate. Its kind of loose, and the re's like a gap and the screws wont screw in anymore. Will it help if I install it?

The backplate relies on the weight of the pump to hold it in place, and the pump relies on the sturdiness of the backplate to stay mounted to the socket. Neither one will be very secure without the other.



It sounds like you haven't done your daily research. The function of an AiO cooler is to transfer the heat of the CPU to the coolant, send the coolant to the radiator, and transfer the heat to the air via the radiator fins. Using a radiator as intake just blows the CPU's heat output through the whole system. Please use it as exhaust.

Okay, I've just seen videos where they use the rad as intake so I thought it would be okay. Would the rad be better mounted at the top? Or back? I have the radiator w/ push pull and 2 case fans

Mmm... actually. Would this work? I could remove the push pull and go with pull? So. 2 intake @ front with the rad @ top with pull exhaust and 1 fan at the back with exhaust

Top mounting will work as well. If you'd like to reduce the dust buildup in your system, run your front fans faster than the exhaust fans. Your motherboard manual will tell you how to do this.

Since you have two intake and two exhaust fans, you'll have neutral pressure. I would slow down the rear exhaust fan so you can build up a little pressure in the case. This will push air out of the little nooks and crannies rather than pulling air in through them, helping to reduce dust intake.

If your case puts the power supply on the bottom, put its fan facing down so it breathes through the vent underneath instead of pulling from inside the case.

Ah man that poor VRM heatsink is trapped behind your fan. Please take the second fan off so that it's a pull config. This will pull the heat of the VRMs through the rad instead of it being trapped next to the socket.

You'll have one leftover fan from your radiator. Put it up top if you have a mount up top. Put your other two fans up front as intake.

Cool. I'd manage your cables at this point. Run as many behind the motherboard tray as you can so that they don't show in the main cavity of the case.
