The cooler’s installation requires an unobstructed space of 151mm(width),
154mm(length), and 132mm(height), with the CPU as a central reference point.
Please check if components such as ODDs and PSU protrude into the required space.
Air guides on enclosures must be removed before the cooler’s installation since
they protrude into the cooler’s required space.
As shown in the diagram below, the cooler's Reverse Fan (distinguished by Comb Shape
Blades) should face the case's exhaust rear fan so that air ows from the cooler toward
the case's exhaust rear fan to be released.
