Installing the MCW20-P™ water-block
TIP! It is preferable to have the tubing inserted into
the water-block BEFORE you install the block onto
the motherboard. This is because pushing the tubes
into the block while it is already installed could exert
undue pressure onto the microprocessor.
Place the MCW20-P™ onto the processor, as shown in
figure 7: hooks should be engaged into two diagonal
motherboard loops, then install the nylon tension limiters
(flange facing down), the springs, and tighten the
assembly with the acorn nuts.

Connect the block to the rest of the cooling circuit. The block
is designed in such a way that it will bleed itself
automatically in any vertical orientation (computer
standing-up).

Final inspection
Once the installation is completed, it is always a good idea to test the circuit for leaks, prior to powering up the computer. Troubleshooting
help is available on our
, or by calling customer support at 562-595-8009.
Note concerning removal of the tubing
: Push in collet squarely against face of fitting, using swiftech’s tube removal tool, or a wrench of
approximately the same opening diameter as the tube (1/2” +). With the collet firmly held against the face of the fitting, the tube can be safely pulled out.
Do not attempt to pull the tube out without pushing squarely against the collet. This may result in damaging the fitting.
