After placing the water block, the Backplate must be attached on the
backside of the motherboard using Allen Key 2.5 mm (shown in the image).
While holding the water block and the motherboard with one hand,
align the Backplate with Mounting Screws of the water block. Turn
the mounting nuts using Allen Key 2.5 mm in the clockwise direction
according to the numerical order shown in the image. Do not tighten
fully until all of the nuts are partially screwed in. After the Backplate
is tightened, put five (5) M2x2.5 screws and washers in holes of the
water block and tighten them.
EK recommends using the EK-Loop Torque Screwdriver - 0.6Nm:
