going to use these two latches found

going to use these two latches found here on these sides of this CPU Cooler

here on these sides of this CPU Cooler

here on these sides of this CPU Cooler and essentially we want to hook one of

and essentially we want to hook one of

and essentially we want to hook one of these latches onto here and what I want

these latches onto here and what I want

these latches onto here and what I want you guys to do is to start off with the

you guys to do is to start off with the

you guys to do is to start off with the side that doesn't have a lever on it so

latch we got a hook underneath here this one also straightforward got to make

one also straightforward got to make

one also straightforward got to make sure you bring it underneath here and

sure you bring it underneath here and

sure you bring it underneath here and then to clamp this down we're going to

then to clamp this down we're going to

then to clamp this down we're going to want to pull this lever all the way to

want to pull this lever all the way to

want to pull this lever all the way to this side so there we go now we got

this side so there we go now we got

this side so there we go now we got tension on this we can pick up the

tension on this we can pick up the

tension on this we can pick up the motherboard by the stock CPU Cooler and

motherboard by the stock CPU Cooler and

go right here where it says CPU fan

go right here where it says CPU fan now once you have the stock CPU Cooler

now once you have the stock CPU Cooler

now once you have the stock CPU Cooler on here you have the option of letting

on here you have the option of letting

on here you have the option of letting this light up with RGB that's why there

this light up with RGB that's why there

this light up with RGB that's why there are these two included cables that came

are these two included cables that came

are these two included cables that came with this CPU Cooler you only need one

with this CPU Cooler you only need one

with this CPU Cooler you only need one of these if you want to have RGB going

of these if you want to have RGB going

of these if you want to have RGB going to your CPU Cooler you have the option

to your CPU Cooler you have the option

to your CPU Cooler you have the option of using a standard 12v argb connector

of using a standard 12v argb connector

of using a standard 12v argb connector or just a regular USB 2.0 type header

or just a regular USB 2.0 type header

or just a regular USB 2.0 type header both of these can be found on the

both of these can be found on the

both of these can be found on the motherboard actually so if you wanted to

motherboard actually so if you wanted to

motherboard actually so if you wanted to use the CPU cable here to power on your

use the CPU cable here to power on your

use the CPU cable here to power on your RGB we're you're going to want to plug

RGB we're you're going to want to plug

RGB we're you're going to want to plug it into one of these USB headers right

it into one of these USB headers right

it into one of these USB headers right here so it go in like this and then you

here so it go in like this and then you

here so it go in like this and then you plug the other end into here of course

plug the other end into here of course

plug the other end into here of course you're going to want to Cable manage

you're going to want to Cable manage

you're going to want to Cable manage this or here for our 12vt 4 pin RGB

this or here for our 12vt 4 pin RGB

this or here for our 12vt 4 pin RGB header if we wanted to use this one

header if we wanted to use this one

header if we wanted to use this one instead we've got one of those right

instead we've got one of those right

instead we've got one of those right here where it says

here where it says

here where it says jrgb1 and we just put this in like so

jrgb1 and we just put this in like so

jrgb1 and we just put this in like so and then we plug the other end into the

and then we plug the other end into the

and then we plug the other end into the CPU Cooler I think you get the gist of
