Swiftech H20 220 T - Manual (Page 12)

To complete the condensation prevention measures, simply apply the neoprene sticker provided with your MCW5002-PT ™
accessories to the back of the motherboard, directly behind the processor.
D. CPU and water-block installation
Figure 7
Remove the peel-off paper back from the motherboard
gasket, and install it as shown above. The sticky side should
be towards the motherboard.
Insert the processor into the socket. Since you have grease
inside the socket, some hydraulic pressure lift may occur:
for this reason, make sure that the processor sits perfectly
flat, and is inserted all the way into the socket.
Then, drop a small amount of high quality thermal
compound onto the center of the processor core.
Installation of the cooler to the motherboard is now
complete!
Securing the MCW5002-PT cooler to the motherboard:
Install the MCW5002-PT
™ assembly onto your processor, as shown in
figure 8.
Gradually tighten the screws in a cross pattern until you feel that they
reach the bottom of the standoff. A “finger-tight” lock is sufficient.

IMPORTANT WARNING: Solder joints of the wires to the thermoelectric module are extremely fragile. Bending the wires at their
root will break the solder joint, with no possible repair. Swiftech will not honor the warranty for broken wires.
E. Hydraulic Installation
‰ The MCW5002-T is shipped with ½” barb to 3/8” NPT nylon fittings. These fittings should be installed using
Teflon tape or plumbers “goop”. If fittings need to be replaced for a difference tubing size, do not use brass fittings,
because of the galvanic corrosion that will take place between copper or brass and the MCW5002-T aluminum
housing. Always use nylon fittings.
‰ Inlet and outlet are interchangeable.
‰ Type of Coolant:
ƒ For best performance, use 5 to 10% of Swiftech brand “HydrX” corrosion inhibitor mixed with distilled
water only .
ƒ Regular automotive anti-freeze is also acceptable. Automotive manufacturers recommend that not less than
25% is used.
ƒ NEVER use tap water, even for a short-term test.
Not following the above instructions constitutes misuse (*) of the product, and will void your warranty.
Now that the water-block installation is complete, please proceed with the rest of the components installation as described in Chapter
II.
