Installation

Installing the ETS-T50 AXE ARGB is exceptionally easy. First, prepare the backplate and position it on the motherboard.


Now, put the plastic spacers over the backplate screws and secure the mounting arms on top. With that done, its time to apply some thermal paste.


Now, secure the cooler to the mounting arms and attach the fans and Air Guide to the heatsink. All that remains is to plug in the fan and connect the ARGB header to the motherboard. That is it, all done.

Overall, installation was a breeze, and I would rate it a 10 on a scale of 1 (hardest) to 10 (easiest). The mounting hardware is simple and straightforward. Even the ARGB lighting is easy to work with since Enermax doesn't include 20 different wires or adapters. It just plugs into a 5-volt header and is ready to go.
