7/ Squeeze a small amount of Céramique
thermal compound on the CPU.
8/ Peel-off the protective paper from
motherboard gasket #2 (1/8” thick) and
carefully align the gasket over
motherboard gasket #1, with the sticky
side up
9/ Align the water-block mounting posts
with the motherboard standoffs, and
tighten the screws in a cross pattern. Do
not over-tighten the screws or they could
jam into the standoffs, making further
removal difficult.
The water-block is now installed
10/ There will be grease
squeezing off from the holes
behind the motherboard. Wipe it
out clean.
11/ Stick the neoprene gasket
directly behind the CPU (use
the center section of
motherboard gasket #1). This
will prevent condensation to
form here over time.
IMPORTANT WARNING: Solder joints of the wires to the thermoelectric module are extremely fragile. Bending the wires at their
root will break the solder joint, with no possible repair. Swiftech will not honor the warranty for broken wires.
E. Hydraulic Installation
The MCW5002-T is shipped with ½” barb to 3/8” NPT nylon fittings. These fittings should be installed using
Teflon tape or plumbers “goop”. If fittings need to be replaced for a difference tubing size, do not use brass fittings,
because of the galvanic corrosion that will take place between copper or brass and the MCW5002-T aluminum
housing. Always use nylon fittings.
Inlet and outlet are interchangeable.
Type of Coolant:
For best performance, use 5 to 10% of Swiftech brand “HydrX” corrosion inhibitor mixed with distilled
water only .
Regular automotive anti-freeze is also acceptable. Automotive manufacturers recommend that not less than
25% is used.
NEVER use tap water, even for a short-term test.
Not following the above instructions constitutes misuse (*) of the product, and will void your warranty.
