Koolance RAM-35 - Manual (Page 4)

Page 4 Memory center distances and nozzle base orientations should now be known. Koolance offers four
lengths of sliding nozzles. Nozzles should be chosen based on the distance between memory sticks
of connected RAM-35 coolers:
For example, Fig 18 features two memory sticks 17mm apart in alternating banks. When using two RAM-35 blocks with “neighboring”
nozzle bases, the CNT-ME0 fi ts this distance best. A second example is Fig 19, which favors the CNT-ME2, plus CNT-MEU (180°
“U” Blocks) for the adjacent RAM-35 end connections.

To avoid leaks, every RAM-35 nozzle socket connection must include a red rubber O-ring. O-rings
can come loose and fall out. When misaligned, O-rings can also warp improperly or bulge outward
when compressed. Always ensure an even O-ring seal is present when tightening a nozzle or plug
on a RAM-35 nozzle base [Fig 20].
Begin installation by screwing in the required nozzles and receptacles into
each RAM-35. For sliding nozzles, make sure every male side is paired
with a female receptacle. Once nozzles and receptacles are in place, add the primary inlet and outlet
nozzles and any required 180° “U” Blocks.
Installation
CAUTION - To avoid leaks, every nozzle socket must include a red rubber O-ring. O-rings
can come loose. Always check for an even O-ring seal when installing a nozzle or plug.

Align this assembly over the motherboard DIMM
slots so that each memory stick will be gently
inserted between the Hydra-Pak folds of each
RAM-35 cooler [Fig 21]. As long as the coolers
are not fi lled with liquid, sliding nozzles can be
adjusted here for best alignment.
Push in each RAM-35 DIMM
latching arm and tighten gently
with a screw driver from the top [Fig 22]. This will
help hold the coolers in place on the motherboard
by hooking the DIMM locking tabs.

[Fig 23] Tighten the Wire Bracket Tabs
To better-stabilize multiple RAM-35 coolers and avoid
further movement of the sliding nozzles, a center wire bracket is
mounted across each RAM-35 water block. Tighten the included metal
center tabs of each RAM-35 to hold this wire in place [Fig 23].
Finally, trim the excess overhanging wire bracket as
needed with wire cutters [Fig 24].
