Installation

The first thing you will want to do is to get the backplate ready. Start by sliding the backplate's screws into place, before placing the backplate onto the motherboard. With that done, slide the black plastic spacers down over the screws.


Now, apply some thermal paste and set the pump block onto the CPU, using the included spring screws to secure it in place.


Next, attach the fan to the radiator and plug the fan and pump into the motherboard's CPU fan headers. That's it, you're all set—it really is that easy on a mainstream Intel system.

The mounting hardware included with the TD02-LITE is ridiculously easy to use. The included extras even allow for greater compatibility in some rather specific situations. I would rate the installation of the Silverstone Tundra TD02-LITE a 9 on a scale of 1 (hardest) to 10 (easiest).
