Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Identify the orientation of the socket cam-
box. This is critical for the next step.
CRITICAL: A label is affixed to the side of
the block entitled: “This side over cam-box”.
YOU MUST orient the MCW5000-A
in the direction pointing towards
the cam-box, as indicated by the
arrows on the label.
Then, place the
block over the CPU making sure that the clips
grab all 6 retention latches of the socket. (See
note below regarding some motherboards)
Loosen both screws (counter-clockwise) until
the head of each screw clears the top of the
clip by approximately 1/16” (1.5mm) as
shown above. Once the head of the screw is
no longer touching the top of the clip, the
spring is under full tension. No adjustment is
required, nor necessary.
Installation is complete!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some motherboards (Asus in particular) feature a strip of plastic tape located directly underneath the socket
latches. This plastic strip can be safely removed if necessary.
4.
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).
Recommended coolant: distilled water+ algaecides & corrosion inhibitors are mandatory (automotive antifreeze).
5.
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. A tube removal tool is provided with the
MCW5000 block. 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. Further details for using quick-connect fittings are also
available here:
