We turned the fans so the wiring was closest to the holes in the top of the motherboard tray.We recently installed this liquid cooling system without any difficulty and wanted to share our experience with anyone it could benefit.
It is our hope that you will read these instructions thoroughly before beginning installation to get a vision of what you will be doing as you install your new Antec Kuhler H2O 920. Antec Grid Software First AsThese instructions will assume this is a new system build so you cannot install the software first as the Antec instructions dictate. For the Intel 1155 processor we used the blue inserts, wider retention ring and the wider backplate. Lay out the eight screws for the fans and the eight flat washers and put a flat washer on each screw. With the numbers on the backplate facing you, insert the threaded metal inserts into the proper holes corresponding to your socket type. The head of each threaded insert should be recessed into the slot provided on the backplate. From the back of the motherboard, align the backplate so the threaded inserts fit into each of the four holes that would secure the OEM heat sink and fan assembly. Do not worry about the arrangement looking symmetrical because it will appear misaligned for the 1155 socket. If any threaded insert does not line up, then re-check that the insert is in the proper backplate hole for your socket type. Once the inserts fit, install the double sided tape to the smooth surface of the backplate and re-install the backplate to the back of the motherboard. ![]() For the 1155 socket, install the blue inserts into the retention ring with the locking clips toward the center of the ring. If you pick up the retention ring by the notched locking ring, the inserts should hang down from the slots. This is important: Thread the four screws through the proper hole on each of the blue inserts until they rotate freely and the threads are exposed. For the 1155 socket these were the inside holes closest to the retention ring. From the top of the motherboard, set the retention ring down over the four threaded inserts that are protruding up from the back of the board. If they do not line up, then make sure the screws are in the correct holes in the blue inserts. Start each screw by hand and get about two rounds on each screw. The retention ring should move freely up and down on top of the motherboard. Now install the motherboard into the case according to the manufacturers instructions. Be sure to connect the ATX 12 volt connector because you may not have access to it after the fans and radiator are installed. Step Two: Installing the fans and pump assembly: Install the first fan to the inside rear of the case making sure to observe the direction of air flow and the orientation of the wires that power the fan.
