Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Swiftech® H20-220 COMPACT Liquid Cooling System!
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.
General guidelines
Please read this guide carefully and entirely before you start the installation.
Never work with electricity connected to the computer while work is in progress.
During installation the motherboard must remain disconnected from the power-supply at all
times.
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.

•
A power supply tester (or a simple paper
clip) to start-up the power supply without
connecting it to the motherboard.
•
Rubbing Alcohol or electronic degreaser
for cleaning purposes.

the components.

A typical CPU cooling installation is presented below. The included “Radbox” allows an easy
installation with a majority of mid and full tower cases by locating the oversized radiator at the back
of the chassis, thus optimizing cooling performance while leaving plenty of clearance for all the I/O
cables.
