Koolance ICM-PC54I - Manual (Page 6)

8 9 User Manual
Cut the pump outlet
tubing where the CPU
block will connect.
Allow for extra length to the CPU water
block! There must be enough slack in
the tubing to mount the CPU block
before installing the cooling unit.
Remember, it’s always possible to
shorten tubing later if needed.
If the adjustable bracket is not
needed for your computer chassis,
it can be optionally removed. This
can make the cooling unit more
compact.
Start by completely removing the
bracket screws (2 per side).
Remove all 4 screws on the
radiator-side bracket.
Remove all 4 screws on the fan-side bracket.
Put aside the fan and its mounting screws for
now. They will be used to mount the cooling unit
to the chassis later during installation.
Attaching Fittings and Tubing
The CPU water block must be connected to the radiator and pump with tubing. Use
the materials included with this DIY kit to complete assembly.
Insert the straight hose barb into the radiator
inlet location.
This type of Koolance fitting is a “swivel/
lock barb”. It must be pushed toward the
thread when tightening or loosening.
This design allows the barb to swivel during
normal use without accidentally unscrewing
the fitting.
Insert swivel/lock barb by pushing
down and tightening by hand.
Use only the largest clamps provided with
this DIY kit. If smaller clamps are included,
discard them.
Using pliers, squeeze the tabs together
on a clamp and slide it over the tubing
segment just removed from the pump. This
piece will connect the radiator to the CPU
block.
