Tighten the fitting barbs in the clockwise direction until the gasket
underneath is compressed.
The installation of the CPU water block is now complete.
With EK-Velocity series water blocks, it is mandatory
to use the port closest to the center of the water block
as the INLET port. Mixing these ports up may result in
poor thermal performance of the water block.

INSTALLING THE RADIATOR AND FANS
Before positioning the fans on the radiator, decide if you want them
to serve as the hot air exhaust (Method 1 - when fans are placed on
the exhaust) or to receive the coldest air possible (Method 2 - when
they’re placed on the air inlet).
The first method results in an overall decrease in temperature
throughout the entire computer chassis but also leads to slightly
higher liquid temperatures. A reversed airflow is a viable option,
but you should always strive to achieve the unidirectional airflow
throughout the chassis.
METHOD 1
STEP 1
Take four (4) UNC 6-32 x 30mm screws for each fan and screw them in.
Use the enclosed Allen key to tighten the screws in the clockwise direction.
