INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Swiftech™ H20-120 PREMIUM Liquid Cooling System!
This kit has been designed to facilitate the installation of the components without having to make any modifications to the
chassis. While all attempts have been made to make the installation of this system user friendly, please note that this
system is intended for users that are well versed in installing computer components.
G ENERAL G UIDELINES
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.
While it is possible to install the kit in a chassis already populated with all typical components, such as hard
drive, CD Rom, power supply, Video Card, etc, it is recommended that these components be removed from
the case prior to installing the water cooling system. If there is no need to remove the motherboard for
installation of the water-block mounting posts, it may remain in the chassis, and will be useful to estimate the
length of tubing necessary to connect the different components. But note that AC power must be
disconnected from the Power supply, and that the motherboard must be disconnected from the power-supply
during the entire 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 at the highest point of the cooling circuit, it helps for the filling procedure.
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.
