Swiftech MCRES MICRO - Manual (Page 2)

Product Description
The MCRES-MICRO is a small form factor reservoir designed for liquid-cooled personal computers.
The device features two 1/4” NPSM threaded ports and a Pg7 fill-port and is shipped with two sets of hose barbs, 3/8” and ½” to
accommodate most high-flow systems.
The port usage is defined as follows:
‰ Upper port: “In from system” shown in figure 1 is the return line from the system
‰ Lower port: “Out to pump inlet” shown in figure 1 should be connected to the pump inlet.
‰ The fill-port located on top of the unit is used to fill it up with coolant, and sealed with a Pg7 plug.
Installation
The MCRES-MICRO can be installed in any suitable location meeting its form factor requirements. For filling purposes, it is preferable
to install the MCRES-MICRO at the highest point of the liquid cooling loop.
Fastening the device to the case: two mounting methods can be used
‰ Permanent mount with the provided mounting hardware as shown in figure 1 page 1, and various examples on
page 3.
‰ Easy mount, with the provided Velcro strips. Please note that a permanent mount is recommended for a reliable
fastening of the device over time.
Recommended coolant, and prohibited fluids
We recommend using distilled water with a 5% (or up to 10%) of Swiftech’s HydrX coolant.
Use of alcohols (Alcohol Allyl, Amyl, Benzyl, Ethyl (Ethanol), Isopropyl, Methyl (Methanol), n-Butyl) or antifreeze products
containing the listed alcohols is prohibited as it will result in deterioration of the product over-time, and will void your
warranty. Resistance to Ethylene and Methylene glycol used in antifreeze products is excellent.
Minimum Operating Level is situated at the Swiftech Logo (approximately ½” of the reservoir). The reservoir should not be operated
below this level, which could result in degradation of the system cooling.
