your PC, then place it on an even surface with its front facing down.
STEP 2
Preparing the Backplate Rubber Gasket:
The enclosed rubber gasket is an essential part of the backplate and
mounting system – it must be used every time you install this water
block on the motherboard.
The rubber gasket has a partially cut inner part, which

can be peeled away by hand.
