II. Installation of the cooling components
The following is a typical sequence of components installation.
Placement of the cooling components may vary depending on your
chassis and motherboard configurations. A mock-up installation is thus
necessary to estimate the length of the different sections of tubing that
will be required between each component.
1. MCR80-F2 Radiator installation
The radiator/fan assembly fits into any exhaust opening designed to
receive a 80mm case fan. Depending on the case design, the assembly
will either fit straight up (inlet and outlet up), or may need to be rotated
90
° as shown below:
Figure 1
Please refer to the separate installation guide provided with the MCR80-
F2 radiator assembly to fasten the radiator to the chassis (also see
appendix).
2. Water-block(s) Installation
When provided in kit form, the MCW6000 series water-blocks
receive 2 ft. of pre-installed tubing at the inlet and outlet. In dual
processor kits, one of the water-blocks inlets is free of tubing so that
water-blocks may be installed in series.
Locate the installation guide for your particular model in appendix,
and follow the instructions to secure the water-block(s) to the
motherboard.
3. MCP350 Pump installation
Preferable position of the pump is at the bottom of the chassis.
However, the pump can operate in any position. For optimum
safety, the pump can be bolted to the chassis. TIP! Do not peel-off
the protective sticker until you are satisfied with the position of the
pump, as subsequent removal is destructive to the foam gasket.
When provided in kit form, the MCP350 pump comes with 2 ft. of
pre-installed 3/8” ID tubing at the inlet and outlet. Identify the pump
inlet (the pump barb that does NOT have an arrow), and make
sure to connect this tube to the reservoir discharge barb (the
single barb located on the stepped down compartment of the
reservoir). This is essential for proper operations.
Figure 2
Please refer to the separate installation guide provided in appendix
for specific information regarding the installation of the pump.
4. MCRES-525 reservoir installation
Install the MCRES-525 reservoir in the desired 5 ¼” bay,
following the
installation guide located in appendix.
Uppermost drive bay is preferred, but not mandatory.
Remember when you fill-up the system that your circuit
responds to the principle of communicating vessels. If the
radiator for example is higher than the reservoir, the level of
fluid in the devices will want to equalize, so you will need to
hold the reservoir higher than the radiator while filling it up so
that it doesn’t overflow, then close the fill-cap, then secure
the radiator in the desired bay.
Position the reservoir so that it protrudes approximately 1 ½”
outside of the case. Measuring the length of tube needed in
this position will give sufficient slack in the line so that you
can pull the reservoir enough to fill-it-up during maintenance
operations.
TIP!
For the mock-up installation, interposing a piece of
paper between the water-block and the processor will protect
both the cooler and the processor surfaces.
