installation diagram

Method 1:

The MCW5000-64 water-block bolts
onto AMD’s validated plastic retention
frame with two screw spring
assemblies. Please use the retention
frame provided by your motherboard
vendor. Remove the two existing
screws that hold the frame in place,
place the water-block assembly onto
the CPU, and use these two holes to
bolt down the spring assemblies, as
shown in figure 6, page 2. Each spring
assembly features an aluminum
spacer acting as a tension limiter. It’s
main purpose is to guarantee that
each springs is compressed to the
exact same amount of tension (35lbs
each).

Method 2:

It is also possible to install the MCW5000-64
without the stock plastic retention frame.
However, you MUST then use the nylon
spacers provided with your accessories
package as shown in figure 7, page 2. These
are necessary to replace the stock plastic
retention frame and to provide support to the
entire assembly
