• Prior to fill-up the circuit, you will need to re-install your power-supply in order to start-up the pump during the fill

procedure. You must be able to start the PSU without it being connected to the motherboard. While the Internet

contains numerous references on how to use a paper-clip to short-out pin 13 and 14 of the 20 pin ATX connector as

shown below, we nonetheless recommend instead using a power-supply tester. A wide variety of these common

devices are available on the Internet (Google key word: “PSU tester”), and among Swiftech resellers

(www.frozencpu.com, www.Directron.com, www.newegg.com, etc.).

 Filling-up the circuit

• Simply pour the coolant that you prepared into the reservoir – carefully to avoid spills, allowing the circuit to fill-up

by simple gravity. Note: for the gravity to take effect the reservoir should be placed or held at the highest point of the

cooling circuit. Once the reservoir is full, seal the fill port back with its cap in order to avoid any spills, and start-up the

pump. The reservoir will quickly (within 1 second) empty itself. Immediately turn off the pump, top-off the fluid to the

maximum level, and restart the pump. You need to repeat this operation 2 to 3 times, until the circuit is finally full of

coolant. Then, allow the system to run 10 minutes uninterrupted to clear all the micro-bubbles and foam, and finally top-off

the level one last time. Your liquid cooling circuit is now ready, and you may permanently install the reservoir.

• Allow the system to run for (3) hours and frequently inspect all your connections for possible leaks before

you reconnect and re-install all your components (motherboard, hard drives, etc.)
