b.

Install the MCW20-P™ water-block

TIP!

It is preferable to have the tubing inserted

into the water-block BEFORE you install the
block onto the motherboard. This is because
pushing the tubes into the block while it is
already installed could exert undue pressure
onto the microprocessor.

Place the MCW20-P™ onto the processor, as
shown in figure 9: hooks should be engaged into
two diagonal motherboard loops first, then install
the nylon tension limiters (flange facing down),
the springs, and tighten the assembly with the
acorn nuts.

c.

Connect the block to the rest of the cooling circuit.

d.

Type of Coolant:

a.

For best performance, use 95% distilled water, and 5% Swiftech brand “HydrX” corrosion inhibitor (available here:

http://www.swiftnets.com/store/category.asp?CatID=2

, under the “accessories” section).

b.

In ALL cases, you MUST use Distilled water AND a corrosion inhibitor with the MCW5002 water-block. Regular automotive anti-freeze
is acceptable. Automotive manufacturers recommend that not less than 25% is used.

c.

NEVER use tap water, even for a short-term test.

d.

Not following paragraphs b and c above constitutes misuse (*) of the product, and will void your warranty.

e.

Final inspection
Once the installation is completed, it is always a good idea to test the circuit for leaks, prior to powering up the computer. If using
Swiftech’s fill-and-bleed kit, such test can be done without any liquid into the circuit. Please refer to the MCRES-525

 installation guide for

details. Troubleshooting help is available on our web site at
