Installation

To install the XPG Levante 240 users will first need to put the mounting bracket on the pump—slide it up and twist and pull it down to lock it in place as shown. Next, you will need to install the backplate on the motherboard. With that done, use the LGA115x standoffs to secure it to the motherboard.


While the cooler does come with thermal paste applied since I removed it for photos, I will need to apply some new TIM. If you don't have a preferred paste, it is okay to use the provided stuff. With the pump ready, slide the bracket over the standoffs and secure the pump to the CPU with the included thumbscrews.


Now, its time to install the radiator and then the fans. Don't forget to run all the wires and plug everything into the proper headers. With that out of the way, the cooler's good to go.

Overall, I would rate my installation of the XPG Levante 240 an 8 on a scale of 1 (hardest) to 10 (easiest). The mounting process is easy, and the included cable extensions made for a trouble-free setup. The daisy chain plugs with clips to keep them firmly connected are also nice. Just be prepared as you will have some extra wires to manage regardless of your setup.
