Fusion Thermo is an exclusive ROG heatsink that provides air-cooling and water cooling
elements, generating cooler ventilation for your motherboard.
Fusion Thermo contains 100% copper water channel with electro-plated nickel barbs for
cooling purpose. It also has an integrated heatpipe wrapped in air-cooling fins that absorbs
heat and helps dissipate it throughout the system.
With Fusion Thermo, you have a hybrid air and water cooling system for an optimal cooling
performance.

• The Fusion Thermo’s nickel barbs’ outer diameter measure 3/8 inch (10mm). We
recommend that you install a 3/8 inch ID tubing, and lock both ends with the bundled
clamps that came with the water cooling kit.
• We recommend that you route the water cooling kit from the CPU water block to the
Fusion Thermo zone.
• We recommend that you separate the VGA water cooling system and the CPU/VRM
water cooling system for an optimal cooling result.
• Ensure to keep the chassis ventilation airflow in one direction.
• Refer to the technical documentation of your water cooling kit for assembly
instructions.
