Thank you for purchasing the MCW60 VGA cooling system. This product is intended for expert users. Please consult with a qualified
technician for installation. Improper installation may result in damage to your components. Swiftech™ assumes no liability whatsoever,
expressed or implied, for the use of this product, nor its installation. The following instructions are subject to change without notice.
Please visit our web site at www.swiftnets.com for updates.
Overview
The MCW60 is shipped with a pre-assembled hold-down plate compatible with all nVidia High-end GeForce and ATI Radeon using a
four-hole fastening system. Mid-range ATI products using a 2-hole bolt-down are also compatible by using the included haldware.
Please refer to our product page for further information.
1/ ATI 2-hole bolt-down ONLY: pre-installation steps
You will need to remove the chrome hold-down plate as shown below, before you can install the product with ATI 2-hole boards. Once
done, please follow the steps common to all VGA adapters, and the installation schematic provided page 2.
2/ Common Installation steps to all graphics cards
General information
•
The MCW60 VGA water-block may be installed in any direction.
•
The inlet and outlet are interchangeable with respect to flow direction.
•
Coolant: use of distilled water is mandatory. Swiftech's HydrX coolant is recommended as an antifungal, and corrosion
inhibitor.
BEFORE INSTALLATION:
•
Install the barb fittings with their o-rings into the water-block before you fasten the water-block to the VGA card. The MCW60
is shipped with 2 sets of fittings in the US: 1/2” barbs, and 3/8” barbs, and an additional set of 1/4” barbs in Europe.
•
Tighten each fitting until the flange of the fitting mates with the ledge of the water-block o-ring groove, then lock it by
adding ¼ to ½ turn.
•
Remove the existing cooling solution from the graphics card, and carefully clean off the GPU with an electronics degreaser.
•
Apply the provided Arctic Céramique thermal compound to the GPU following the comprehensive installation instructions pro-
vided here: http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique_instructions.htm
•
Install the MCW60 water-block following the individual installation schematic for the type of GPU setup correponding to your
VGA adapter and provided page 2 and 3 hereafter.
AFTER INSTALLATION:
•
Connect the tubing to the water-block hose-barbs. Use the provided hose-clamps to secure the tubing to the barbs. Always
test your setup extensively for leaks before you energize the graphics card!
4 -holes setup
Remove all four screws
with the provided Hex
key, and set aside the
chrome hold-down plate,
as it will not be needed.
Re-install the four screws, using the provid-
ed lock-washers. Your water-block is now
ready to use with ATI 2-hole bolt pattern.
