Installation

Installing the Celsius S36 is very simple. Start by positioning the backplate on the motherboard and use the screw pillars to hold it in place. Now, apply some thermal paste in preparation for mounting the pump.


Position the pump and slide the bracket over the screw pillars. Then, using the included thumbscrews, tighten the pump down onto the CPU.


With that done, connect the pump to the motherboard to then install the fans and connect them to the radiator-based fan hub.

I would rate its installation a 9 on a scale of 1 (hardest) to 10 (easiest). The only downside is that the Celsius S36 radiator is so long that the fan cables on the furthest fan are just a tad bit too short for my taste.
