I. Planning

1. GENERAL GUIDELINES

 Please read this guide carefully and entirely before you start this installation. Plan your installation ahead. Observe the

relative position of the components for possible interference with other components.

 Never work with electricity connected to the computer while work is in progress.

 Because some work is necessary that will require cutting holes in the case, it is strongly recommended to remove all the

components from the case prior to begin with this installation.

 After the metal work has been completed, carefully clean the case to remove all metal debris.

 Once the time has come to re-install the motherboard and complete the liquid-cooling circuit, the motherboard should be

disconnected from the power-supply at all times during the entire mock-up phase of the installation. In case of a spill or leak

on the motherboard, do not panic! As long as the motherboard is not electrically connected, no harm is done. You must

however thoroughly dry the exposed area, using a hair dryer for example, and wait a minimum of 6 to 8 hours prior to re-

connecting the motherboard to its power source.

 The reservoir should preferably be installed at the highest point of the cooling circuit (top 5 ¼” tray), although this is not

absolutely necessary if all the other components are self-purging.

 Think about the airflow inside your chassis. In liquid-cooling environments, it is always better to draw fresh air from the

outside through the radiator, as opposed to using the warm air from inside the computer.

 Make sure to dry-fit all components before making final connections and filling the water-cooling system.

2. TUBE ROUTING

 The tubing for the water-cooling system must be routed to form a complete loop that includes all elements of the system.

When daisy-chaining components, the simplest and most natural route is usually the best. Always avoid sharp bends that

would kink the tubing!

 The following table contains examples on how to establish connections between the different elements of a cooling circuit

based on multiple possible configurations. These are guidelines only, and may change depending on the relative position of

the components inside your chassis.
