3. Installation of the fans and to a panel:
See schematic to the right.
The 2 conventional methods to attach the fans and the assembly to a panel
are:
Standard:
Using the provided four long screws (2) per fan thru the fan guard (3), the
computer panel (1), and thru the fans (6) to fasten the entire assembly to the
panel.
Acceptable thread types:
The original thread size is M3,5; standard US 6-32 thread can easily be used.
Once 6-32 type screws have been used, going back to metric is not
recommended.
Long screw length tolerance specifications are:
- Min/Max inch size: 1 1/4"
-Metric: 30mm
The above are the only adequate sizes available in this length range for
120x25mm fans.
Use 6-
32x1 5/8” or M3,5 x 40mm for 120x38mm fans.
Alternate:
Using the provided four 6-
32 x 3/8” short screws (1) per fan to fasten the lower
lip of the fans to the radiator body first, and then another fastener of your
choice (not provided) to secure the radiator/fan assembly to the computer
panel (1). Standard fan screws (4) often provided with the fans work well to
attach the radiator/fan assembly to the panel. Other acceptable choices are 8-
32 x ½” screws with nut (or M4 x 12mm + nut), or Snap-rivets
Short screw length tolerance specifications are:
Min/Max inch size: 3/8”
Min/Max Metric size: (8mm~10mm)
WARNING: do not exceed the maximum recommended screw length or
irreversible damage to the radiator will occur, and will not be covered
under your warranty.
You are now ready to connect tubing to the MCR Drive inlet and outlet fittings,
using the provided hose clamps, and to complete the loop by a waterblock of
your choice.
