1.2.10  Fusion Thermo
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 fins 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 airflow in one direction.
• 
Refer to the technical documentation of your water cooling kit for assembly 
instructions.
