Installation

The first step in installing the CRYORIG H5 Universal is to attach the backplate to the motherboard. Set the four posts into their proper locations on the backplate and use the screw pillars to secure the backplate properly.


Take the Intel mounting brackets and slide them over the screw pillars. Now, use the thumbscrew caps to hold them in place.


Apply some thermal paste and line the spring screws on the cooler up with the mounting arms. It is now time to use the screwdriver CRYORIG included to tighten the spring screws down, which will hold the cooler in place.


All that remains now is to attach the fan before plugging it into the motherboard's CPU fan header.

The "MultiSeg" quick mount system CRYORIG uses makes installing the H5 extremely easy. On a scale of 1 (hardest) to 10 (easiest), I would rate this cooler's installation a 10. The mounting hardware is done right!
