INSERTING THE CARD IN YOUR PC CASE

Carefully lift your graphics card with installed block and insert it in 
your PC’s motherboard PCI express expansion slot. Please bear in 
mind that your graphics card is probably heavier than when it was 
equipped with original heat sink fan assembly. One needs to be 
very careful when handling the graphics card. Avoid all un-needed 
manipulation of the VGA/water block assembly that might damage 
your card or water block during final installation.
