Installation

When installing the A80, make sure to first position the backplate on the motherboard to then use the screw pillars to hold it in place. With that done, apply some thermal paste in preparation for mounting the pump if you have a paste you prefer. If not, the pump is ready to go out of the box.


Next, position the pump in whichever orientation is preferred for the airflow fan's extra cooling effect. Then, using the included thumbscrews, tighten the pump down onto the CPU. With it secured, you can now install the 70 mm airflow fan.


With that done, install the 140 mm fans and hook up all the wires, and with that, the CRYORIG A80 is ready to go.

The mounting hardware included with the CRYORIG A80 is very easy to work with. I would rate its installation a 9 on a scale of 1 (hardest) to 10 (easiest).
