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
Various permanent mounts thru the reservoir ears or with the provided mounting hardware
as shown 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
