Installation Guide for DeepCool CASTLE 120R Liquid CPU Cooler

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides the necessary steps to install the DeepCool CASTLE 120R liquid CPU cooler. It covers the preparation of the backplate, mounting the pump block onto various Intel and AMD sockets, attaching the fan to the radiator, and completing the electrical connections.

Installation for Intel LGA1200, LGA1151, LGA1150, LGA1155

1. Prepare the backplate (6) and align it with the motherboard holes.
2. Install the standoffs (5) onto the backplate pins.
3. Place the pump block (11) onto the CPU, ensuring it aligns with the standoffs.
4. Secure the pump block using the thumb nuts (7).

Installation for Intel LGA1700

1. Adjust the backplate (6) to the LGA1700 position.
2. Install the standoffs (8) onto the backplate pins.
3. Place the pump block (11) onto the CPU.
4. Secure the pump block using the thumb nuts (7).

Installation for Intel LGA2066, LGA2011-v3, LGA2011

1. Install the LGA2011 standoffs (12) directly into the motherboard socket mounting holes.
2. Attach the Intel mounting bracket (11) to the pump block.
3. Place the pump block onto the CPU and secure it using the thumb nuts (9).

Installation for AMD AM4

1. Remove the original plastic AMD mounting brackets from the motherboard.
2. Install the AM4 standoffs (14) into the motherboard backplate.
3. Attach the AMD mounting bracket (13) to the pump block.
4. Place the pump block onto the CPU and secure it using the thumb nuts (7).

Fan and Radiator Assembly

1. Attach the fan (2) to the radiator (1) using the long fan screws (4).
2. Mount the radiator assembly into the PC case using the short radiator screws (3).

Connection

Connect the fan cable to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard. Connect the pump power cable (10) to the AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN header to ensure the pump receives constant power.
