Remove the peel-off paper back from the motherboard gasket, and
install it as shown Figure 9. The sticky side should be towards the
motherboard.

Install the water-block assembly onto your processor, as shown on
figure 10.
Gradually tighten the screws in a crisscross pattern until you feel that
they reach the bottom of the standoff. A “finger-tight” lock is sufficient.
Conversely, adjustments such as tightening the screws only partially are
strictly prohibited. Such attempts will result in improper contact between
the CPU core and the heat sink, and result in CPU overheating.
To further prevent condensation to occur behind the motherboard, a
neoprene sticker is provided with your water-block accessories. Apply it
to the back of the motherboard, behind the processor.
CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Never run a thermoelectric module without coolant
flowing into the circuit. This will result in
catastrophic failure of the cooling circuit, and may
cause any/all of the following:
! tubing to burst open due to coolant
overheating
! permanent failure of the Peltier module
! permanent damage to the CPU and/or
motherboard due to excess heat
It is highly recommended to dedicate the auxiliary power supply
for the thermoelectric module to the computer power-supply, so
that the Peltier module will never run by itself without circulating
coolant. For this purpose, we recommend the following
accessory, available in our online shopping cart:
PRS Kit II,
Includes:
Relay Switch Circuit board AC socket, S/S socket cover, power cord
This relay switch is rated for
110 to 220~240 volts and up to 50A
inrush current. It is suitable for use with the S-320-12 Meanwell
power supply recommended in paragraph 3, page 4.
If you run your computer unattended for extended periods of
time, it is also a good practice to setup an alarm temperature,
which will shut down the computer in case the CPU overheats.
Such alarm/shut down process should be tested as functional.
