Welcome to the EVGA Forums, congrats on your first post
Mount the radiator (center line) above the GPU center line (do not mount radiator below GPU)
mount radiator with Hoses on bottom of radiator if mounted to the front or back of the case
If you mount radiator on the top of case, hoses should point down
Do Not - stress the hoses - the hoses should have a little slack when it is all mounted
If you run the fan as intake, the cooler room air will give you the best temps
With PC on its side = after you install the GPU - hold the radiator above the GPU - lightly shake & tap the radiator - with hoses at the lowest point - this can help make sure any limited air stuck in the AIO is where you want it
Go
easy when mounting the radiators or the fans to the radiator -- use a very light touch or you can strip the radiator mounting tab
- once the screw stops turning - light touch, one finger & thumb -
bareley snug (
NOT an extra 1/8 turn - after screw stops
)
Connect the fans to the connectors on the line that comes out of the GPU cover (with power off)
"some very basic information"
Hybrid Cooling Enjoy your new GPU
