PH2 Philips Head Screwdriver
Single connector PWM cable for simultaneous control of pump, VRM and radiator fan speeds, as well as pump speed monitoring.
PWM cable with three connectors for individual control and monitoring of pump / VRM fan / radiator fan speed.
3x 4-Pin Header on motherboard required
Note: The reported speed for the pump is 50% higher than the real speed.
(i.e. 1500 RPM reported speed = 1000 RPM real speed)
Steve from GamersNexus explains you the mistakes to avoid while assembling your water cooling AIO in your PC case.
The featured video is independently produced by GamersNexus, ARCTIC has been authorized to use by GamersNexus.
Risk of bubbling noise
Only install the mounting modules in this orientation
Refer here to learn more about how to apply thermal pastes.
For AM4: The offset mounting leaves parts of the heatspread visible; this is intentional, as the CPU hotspot is off-centred, but perfectly covered.
Please make sure that you plug all connectors on the motherboard,
For All-in-one = 1 plug
For Individual Control = 3 plug
Please make sure that the headers are set to PWM instead of DC control. For detailed instructions, please follow the BIOS configuration guide to adjust your PWM.

Secure the socket backplate in one of the 2 ways shown below depending on the status of your motherboard.
To support the socket backplate, place it on a flat, horizontal surface, like a thick padding (e.g., the packaging inner card)
Open the Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM), align and place CPU into the socket
Keep the removed parts for reassembly in the future. The ILM must be reinstalled if the motherboard is to be returned for service or warranty.
The CPU Contact Frame is made to be compatible with both LGA1851 and LGA1700 CPUs, select below to see your CPU fitment.
Loosely engage all 4 screws by 2 turns before tightening them in a cross pattern evenly to avoid damaging the CPU.
The thick padding can be removed after the CPU Contact Frame is tightened.
Apply painter’s tape on the backside of the motherboard to secure the socket backplate. Lay the motherboard flat on a horizontal surface.
