Installation

To install the Auraflow X 240, I first secured the backplate to the motherboard using the provided backplate screws and pillars. With the backplate secured, I prepared the pump for mounting by setting and twisting the mounting bracket into place on the pump.


Next, secure the radiator and fans to the chassis. It's a straightforward process, so there is nothing to really worry about at this stage.


With the backplate secured, the pump ready, and radiator and fans mounted, it's time to secure the pump to the motherboard. First, apply the thermal paste, be it the included stuff or a preferred alternative. With that out of the way, mount the pump and secure it with the "tightening nuts" as labeled by ID-Cooling. Now that everything is secured, just plug in the various wires and you are all set.

ID-Cooling's Auraflow X 240 is relatively easy to install, and I would rate it an 8 on a scale of 1 (hardest) to 10 (easiest) in terms of installation. The process was relatively quick and painless with no issues to speak of.
