Thank you for purchasing the Hydro Series HG10 GPU Liquid Cooling Bracket Edition.
The Hydro Series HG10 N780 GPU liquid cooling bracket allows you to adapt a Corsair Hydro Series liquid CPU
cooler (not included) to your GPU. It is compatible with many popular NVIDIA GeForce GPUs and it installs
quickly and easily. It can reduce your GPU’s temperature by up to 45C, and your GPU’s automatic temperature
control will lower the speed of its onboard fan for quieter operation.

Warranty Information
1. Remove your stock heatsink
Please refer to your GPU manufacturer’s manual regarding warranty information. Removing the stock heatsink
may void the warranty. Corsair will not be held responsible for any damaged or destroyed GPUs due to the use
of the Hydro Series HG10 GPU Liquid Cooling Bracket.
First, carefully uninstall your card’s stock heatsink by removing all of the screws on the bottom and bracket of
the card. Once the screws have been removed, gently lift the heatsink away from the card and unplug the stock
blower fan. Remove all excess thermal tape still attached to the graphics card and clean o any thermal paste
remaining on the GPU die.
We recommend using cotton balls, swabs, or pads with high purity isopropyl alcohol when cleaning the thermal
paste o the die.

2. Remove the stock blower
3. Install the stock blower
Now that the stock blower has been unplugged, remove the stock blower from the heatsink by unscrewing the
three screws underneath the blower. Make sure to keep the screws from the stock heatsink, we will use these
for the next step.
Next, route the stock fan blower cable through the HG10 bracket and secure the blower to the bracket using
the same screws from the previous step.

5. Install the bracket
Now that the stock blower has been installed onto the bracket, place the HG10 fan shroud onto the bracket and
tighten the four screws to secure.
Reconnect the stock blower’s power cable to the card and mount the bracket onto the card. Next, use the
provided M3 screws to secure the bracket. Hand tighten the screws until the bracket is snug, but do not
over torque.

7. Install the Hydro CPU Cooler Standos
Now that the HG10 has been mounted, you can use either the AMD or Intel mounting bracket from a Hydro
Series Liquid CPU Cooler to secure it to the card.
Next, select what standos to install into the HG10.
For Corsair Hydro Series liquid CPU coolers with the round-shaped pump head (such as the H75 or H105), use
the short standos.
For Corsair Hydro Series liquid CPU coolers with a square-shaped pump head (such as the H100i) no standos
are required.
