I had to remove my entire motherboard to put in the mounting plate behind the motherboard first but then after that mostly was easytemperatures are 25 degrees idle and then 45 under full load which was goodit is now louder than with just the air cooling of my cpu but looks cool and working fineoverall recommend but be aware for the difficulty installation extra noisesome pointsconnect the water cooler to the standard cpu fan socketthe cpu cooler comes pre loaded with thermal pastecheck yo

My case is a bit tricky to install things in anyway so thats why i had difficulty
