Here is a step-by-step guide to help you install the SILVERSTONE AM5 IceGem 280 280mm ARGB AIO Liquid Cooler:

1. Prepare your PC case: Ensure that your PC case has enough space to accommodate the 280mm radiator and fans. Remove any existing cooling solution from the CPU.

2. Mount the radiator: Locate a suitable spot in your PC case to mount the radiator. Typically, this is done at the front or top of the case. Use the included screws to secure the radiator in place.

3. Install the fans: Attach the included fans to the radiator using the provided screws. Make sure the fans are oriented correctly for proper airflow. Connect the fan cables to the appropriate headers on your motherboard or fan controller.

4. Apply thermal paste: Apply a small amount of thermal paste onto the center of your CPU. Spread it evenly using a plastic card or the included thermal paste spreader.

5. Install the CPU block: Carefully place the CPU block/pump unit onto the CPU, aligning the mounting holes with the corresponding holes on the motherboard. Use the included brackets and screws to secure the CPU block in place. Ensure that the block is making proper contact with the CPU.

6. Connect the cables: Connect the pump power cable to the CPU fan header on your motherboard. Connect the ARGB (Addressable RGB) cable to the appropriate ARGB header on your motherboard or ARGB controller.

7. Connect the radiator fans: Connect the fan cables from the radiator fans to the CPU fan headers or fan controller on your motherboard.

8. Test and finalize: Double-check all connections and make sure everything is securely fastened. Power on your PC and check if the fans are spinning and the pump is running. Adjust fan speeds and RGB lighting settings using your motherboard's software or any included controller.
