1. Preliminary steps & guidelines
Two sets of hose barb fittings are supplied to accommodate high-performance circuits: 3/8” barbs,
and ½” barb.
The Apogee water-block may be installed in any direction – Please refer to the exploded view
below to change the hold-down plate orientation.
The inlet and outlet are interchangeable with respect to flow direction.
Install the fittings with their o-rings into the water-block before you install the water-block to the
motherboard. Tighten each fitting until the flange of the fitting mates with the ledge of the
water-block o-ring groove, then lock the fitting by fastening another ¼ to ½ turn.
Remove the existing heatsink from your motherboard.
Apply the provided Arctic Céramique thermal compound to the CPU following the comprehensive
installation instructions provided here:

Install the Apogee water-block following the individual installation schematics for each type of CPU
socket provided hereafter.
Connect the tubing to the water-block hose-barbs. Use the provided hose-clamps to secure the
tubing to the barbs.
Exploded View
The hold-down plate can be rotated 90 Degrees to change the
orientation of the inlet and outlet as needed. Simply loosen and
remove the 4 fasteners holding the assembly together and
rotate the hold-down plate (not the base plate, see note to the
right). Then firmly fasten the 4 socket screws in a cross pattern
with the provided 7/64 Hex Key. Torque value is not to exceed
16 in/lbs.
A note of caution:
When disassembling the water-block for
maintenance or other reasons, it is critical for
proper flow operations to maintain the orientation
of the housing in relation to the orientation of the
pins as shown below.
You must maintain the pin orientation in relation
to inlet/outlet orientation so that the fluid has a
clear and direct path between the inlet and the
outlet.
