1.
Before you install the MCW5000-PX™ water-block:
a. Prepare two pieces of tubing of sufficient length to connect to
the rest of your circuit. The cuts must be square as shown in figure
1 or leaks may occur:
b. Install the provided plastic tube inserts at each end of the tubes,
as shown in figure 2: these inserts are absolutely imperative when
using any kind of soft tubing, such as vynil, ClearFlex, Taigon, etc...

c. Spread a little bit of grease or soap (Vaseline,
dishwashing liquid, etc..) around the tubing. It helps
pushing the tubes in, particularly with Clearflex
tubing, which features a very “sticky” surface.
d. Fully insert both tubes into the fittings. The tip of the plastic tube inserts should
be flush with the inlet and outlet openings, as shown in figure 4 above. Inserting the
tubes requires a firm push, accompanied by a twisting motion.

Preparing your Motherboard
Remove the existing heat sink
Carefully clean the CPU.
Lightly coat the CPU with the provided thermal compound. Only a paper-thin coat is necessary. It should be applied using
preferably a razor blade, or a credit card, held between thumb and index at a 45-degree angle.
