Fusion Thermo is an exclusive ROG heatsink that provides air-cooling and water cooling
elements, generating cooler ventilation for your motherboard.
Fusion Thermo contains 100% copper water channel with electro-plated nickel barbs for
cooling purpose. It also has an integrated heatpipe wrapped in air-cooling ns that absorbs
heat and helps dissipate it throughout the system.
With Fusion Thermo, you have a hybrid air and water cooling system for an optimal cooling
performance.

The Fusion Thermo’s nickel barbs’ outer diameter measure 3/8 inch (10mm). We
recommend that you install a 3/8 inch ID tubing, and lock both ends with the bundled
clamps that came with the water cooling kit.
We recommend that you route the water cooling kit from the CPU water block to the
Fusion Thermo zone.
We recommend that you separate the VGA water cooling system and the CPU/VRM
water cooling system for an optimal cooling result.
Ensure to keep the chassis ventilation airow in one direction.
Refer to the technical documentation of your water cooling kit for assembly
instructions.
