How to INSTALL a CPU AIO Water Cooler - Thermaltake Water 3.0 ARGB CPU Cooler

hi there i'm sara from Thermaltake Estrella and this is how to install an all-in-one water cooler for this tutorial we'll be using our 240 millimeter water 3.0 Mayo and we'll be installing it onto an AMD CPU also just remember that if you're using a different arrow or an Intel chip your installation may differ in a few areas first begin by taking out all the parts it's also a good idea to keep the installation guide handy so you can check with it when you need in this tutorial I'll be upgrading this pcs stock cooler without water 3.0 if this is also your situation first use a screw driver to remove the graphics card so you can have easier access to the motherboard now lie the system flat as your next step will be to remove the stock cooler by loosening the screws which hold it in place next use something like isopropyl alcohol and a cloth to remove all the old thermal paste from the CPU the order of the next few sections is somewhat down to personal preference but we think it best start by placing the fans onto the radiator first determine which direction you want your fan cables to face as you want them to travel the least amount of distance out to the back of your case to eventually plug in you also want to decide which direction you want your arrows choose to run to the water block usually you want to keep them out of the way and ensure it won't clash with your back exhaust fan now using the supplied longer screws begin to screw on your fans we've gone with screwing them in using a diamond pattern but there really is a set order once both fans are secure it's time to move on to the water block this is where things will differ for you depending on your CPU and mother if yours is an AM 4 socket like mine you're going to want to go with the second a bracket that's shown first place this thumb screw through the upward part of the first bracket and then screw it into the loop a good idea is to do it only a pathway as the slack may be a lifesaver later thread is over the water block ensuring the screwed on side is at the next grab the circular bracket and thread that over the waterblock - now this is where the fun slash pain begins you must line up the four sections with the first bracket and tuck them under it don't be worried if this takes a little while and causes a lot of frustration a pro tip is to grab a flathead screwdriver and use that to help nudge them under as they can be super finicky you'll be able to tell once all four halves learned properly as the brackets will be fixed in place around the water block now that that nightmare is over I'm taking off the back panel of my case to put in the back bracket which came out when I removed the original stock cooler you might not have to do this but if you do just remember that the brackets on the front need to be pointing away from the CPU so now it's time for the actual installation if you haven't already released all the many wires from their cable ties figure out exactly where you want your radiator to eventually sit as well as thinking about what the easiest path would be for your wires to travel out to the back of your case thread all your wires through and then basically follow the wires to move your radiator up to where you mount it now using the smaller screws screw it in lay your PC flat as it's now time to put your water block on there's no need to worry about thermal paste for any of our thermal tech arrows as they all come with it pre applied bring your water block down over your CPU hitching the bottom over the bracket here that was installed earlier you then do the same for the top if you didn't screw the thumb screw all the way in earlier hopefully this is easier for you it makes next there are two cables coming from the waterblock itself to worry about the smaller one connects to the pump band header if your motherboard has one if not a system fan header will also work the longer one you throw it off the back with the other RGB cables now it's keyboard I separate all your power cables from your RGB ones just to make life a little easier you can daisy chain up all the RGB cables by connecting them to one another then the single remaining cable goes into the back section here find the closest opening and thread the wires back through before inserting them into fan ports do a little cable management to tidy everything up and if you need to put back in your GPU and with that you're done you have successfully installed and aao don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already and leave us a like if you enjoyed the video also let us know in the comments what how-to video you'd like us to film next for you see you in the next one [Music]
