The installation of the Accelero X2 is very easy and well described in the manual. It will not take longer than 10-15 minutes. All you have to do is put on the thermal pads for the memory cooling, remove seven washers, screw down seven screws and plug in the fan connector. The installation specifically mentions in which order the screws should be tightened for optimum distribution of mounting pressure. The numbers in the image are in the order in which you are supposed screw them down.

Maybe they went back and edited the review after they received the email.
