Product Installation

The Asus Ryujin III 360 ARGB installation process is described in the printed manual, but it is also available on the Asus website. We’ll show it to you using the AMD AM5 platform as an example.

You need to remove the standard AMD brackets. Then you need to Secure the 2x AM4/AM5 bracket to the motherboard with the original 4x mounting bracket screws.

After that -secure the pump unit to the standoffs on the motherboard with the correct 4x Thumb Nuts for the corresponding socket. After securing the thumb nuts, attach the pump cover to the pump. You need to connect the 9-pin USB 2.0 cable, to be able to set the LCD screen.

Of course, you should remove the protective film from the cold plate. For the review, we used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut as a thermal paste.
Installing the Intel LGA 1700 is also easy (but you need to use the provided backplate). You need to Prepare the Intel Backplate (unfortunately, it’s wholly made of plastic) for the correct socket and then secure the Intel Standoffs to the motherboard and Intel Backplate.
