Installation

The CRYORIG C7 Cu is ridiculously easy to install. The first step is to apply some thermal paste to the CPU. After that, position the four screw pillars over the four holes on the motherboard and gently set the cooler down onto the CPU.


Now, position the backplate on the screw pillars that extend through the motherboard. Once the backplate is snug and the pillars are poking through, start the hex nuts by hand to hold everything in place. Then, use the included nut driver to snug them up by alternating on the hex nuts until everything is nice and tight.


I had to install the fan; however, for everyone else, the fan comes pre-installed, so you just need to plug it into the motherboard's CPU fan header. That's it, the C7 Cu is ready to go.

To be blunt, this is one of the easiest coolers to install and as such, I would rate its installation a 10 on a scale of 1 (hardest) to 10 (easiest).
