Installation

The first thing you will want to do is to get the backplate ready. Start by sliding the backplate's screws into place. Now, put the backplate onto the motherboard. With that done, slide the black plastic spacers over the screws.


Now, apply some thermal paste and set the pump block onto the CPU, and use the included spring screws to secure it in place.


It is now time to attach the fan to the radiator and plug the fan and pump into the motherboard's CPU fan headers. That's it, you are all set—it really is that easy on a mainstream Intel socket.

The mounting hardware included with the TD03-LITE is ridiculously easy to use. The included extras even allow for greater compatibility in some very specific situations. I would rate the installation of the Silverstone Tundra TD03-LITE a 9 on a scale of 1 (hardest) to 10 (easiest).
