circuits, damage to the equipment and/or personal injury, we recommend using a power-supply
tester instead. A wide variety of these common and inexpensive devices is available on the Internet
(Google key word: “PSU tester”), and among Swiftech resellers.

c/ Fill-up the radiator as high as possible without overflowing, and then power-on the PSU to start
the Apogee™ Drive Pump (note that the pump has a 3 second delay). As the device is energized,
you should immediately hear the noise of liquid and air rapidly rushing through the pump, this
indicates that the pump is priming itself and circulating fluid; soon after the pump noise level will
noticeably decrease and turn to a gentle hum indicating that the fluid is circulating normally. To
further ascertain that the fluid is circulating through the system you can observe a slight surface
agitation of the coolant in the radiator fill-port. Do not be alarmed by the formation of foam. This is
normal; the foam will completely disappear within 15 to 20 minutes.
Finally, top-off the radiator with coolant and then allow the system to run for a minimum of
one hour (more if you wish) on your bench while periodically inspecting it for leaks.
Check the coolant level one last time, and top-off as necessary. Then close the fill-cap firmly to
assure a good seal.

1. Apply the provided Arctic Céramique™
thermal grease at the center of the CPU as
shown above.
2. Peel-off the protective plastic film from the
Apogee™ Drive copper base plate, and wipe-
off the copper with alcohol or with electronics
degreaser.
3. Fasten the Apogee™ Drive to the processor
by tightening all four screws progressively and
in a cross pattern until you reach a firm positive
lock. Cycle thru the four screws twice to make
sure that you have equal tension on all four.

Apogee™ Drive connections
• Power: connect the 4-pin Molex
connector to your power supply.
•
RPM sensor: connect the 3-pin single
wire connector to the motherboard
CPU fan header.
Critical recommendation:
Connecting the pump RPM sensor to the CPU fan
header is critical in order to monitor the pump.
Many modern motherboards have CPU fan safety
features that you can enable in the BIOS that will
shut down the power in the event of a CPU fan
failure or in this case in the event of a pump
malfunction.
Fan connections
•
For 12V fan operations simply connect the 3-pin fan connectors to available motherboard fan
headers.
