1. Preparing your Motherboard
a. Remove the existing heat sink
b. Carefully clean the CPU.
c. Lightly coat the CPU with the provided thermal compound. Only a paper-thin coat is necessary. It should be applied using
preferably a razor blade, or a credit card, held between thumb and index at a 45-degree angle.
d. Install the Motherboard inside the case.
2.
Installing the MCW5000-A™ water-block with AMD
 socket 462 processors:
Step 1
Step 2 Step 3
Identify the orientation of the socket cam-
box. This is critical for the next step. CRITICAL: A label is affixed to the side of
the block entitled: “This side over cam-box”.
YOU MUST orient the MCW5000-A in the
direction pointing towards the cam-box, as
indicated by the arrows on the label. Then,
place the block over the CPU making sure
that the clips grab all 6 retention latches of the
socket. (See note below regarding some
motherboards) Loosen both screws (counter-clockwise) until
the head of each screw clears the top of the
clip by approximately 1/16” (1.5mm) as
shown above. Once the head of the screw is
no longer touching the top of the clip, the
spring is under full tension. No adjustment is
required, nor necessary.
Installation is complete!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some motherboards (Asus in particular) feature a strip of plastic tape located directly
underneath the socket latches. This plastic strip can be safely removed if necessary.
