I. Special features and Advantages

1. In comparison to air-cooling devices, water-cooling devices

provide good system stability by preventing abrupt system
temperature change and improving cooling performance.

2. WCL-03 is compatible with wide range of CPUs including

Intel Pentium III, IV/ AMD Athlon, and Duron.

3. It does not require any external devices, with WCL-03’s

compact design, whole system can be installed internally.

4. Simple and easy installation, even beginners have no

problem.

5. All supplemental parts are made of the same material. It

was to prevent all corrosion possibilities.

6. WCL-03 eliminated any possibility of leakage with special

design attention on integrated CPU jacket and water pump

7. Cooling performance has improved with redesigned CPU

intercooler. Even with compact design of WCL-03.

III. Product Details

1. CPU Jacket, Radiator and Water Tank Assembly

1) CPU Jacket and Water Pump Assembly

① CPU Jacket: 0.5 mm (0.012 inches) fins on the internal

surface of CPU jacket creates the most surface area for
most efficient cooling performance.

② Water pump: integrated with CPU jacket and

eliminated any possibility of leakage.

2) Radiator and Water Tank Assembly

① Radiator: maximized internal surface area creates best

thermal efficiency.

② Water Tank: makes it free from natural evaporation

problem for 1 to 2 years. The coolant can be refilled
through the water tank.

2. Fan Bracket

Install radiator onto any existing case
fans easily using this fan bracket.
(19 page)

3. 80mm Silent Cooling Fan

Average Speed : 2000RPM,
Noise Level : About 20 dBA.
It may be replaced with high speed fan
or low speed fan for your specific use.

4. AMD/ Intel CPU Clip

INTEL AMD

It can have variable tension control. Selecting appropriate
tension for your system will prevent any damage to CPU core.

5. Sticker

It shows your system is protected by
reliable water cooling unit.

8

6. Fan Screws

Used when you do not wish to use the
included fan bracket and fasten directly
to radiator housing.

7. Thermal Grease

Apply and rub gently on your CPU
core, this will allow most efficient
thermal conductivity between CPU
jacket and CPU core.

8. Radiator Pad

It is for preventing any reverse airflow.
When you install fan onto radiator
housing, you can use this pad between
the fan and radiator housing to prevent
any reverse airflow.

9. Installation guide book

This book guides you how to install.
Maintenance instructions are given to
you.

IV. Product Installation Procedure

1. CPU Jacket Installation

1)

Proper CPU Jacket Placement

① Vertical Installation:

Install as shown on the right.

② Horizontal Installation:

Install as shown on the right.

2)

Thermal grease application:
Prior to installing CPU jacket, apply thinly over the CPU
core and spread gently over the core.

10

3) Circuit board installation (Optional)

① Temperature sensor installation

1

a

As above pictures, you should place the sensor
adjacent to the core. DO NOT place the sensor on the
core.

b You may use any double-sided tape to attach the

sensor in place.

c For more accurate measurement, you may apply

thermal grease over the sensor as well.

d

Be careful not to damage the sensor during

installation as the sensor may slide onto the core.

11

4)

Clip installation

① AMD Athlon ,Duron/Intel Pentium 3/ Pentium4

a Place the CPU jacket on the CPU.

INTEL AMD

b Adjust the nut as shown in the picture below.

12

c Slide the clips into the CPU socket or retention

mechanism.

Align the CPU jacket and clip assembly with the
retention mechanism or CPU socket and place the clip
head on the top edge of the water pump.

Intel

AMD

13

d Secure the CPU jacket with the nut until CPU jacket

is stable in place.

14

Bit by bit, one after the other, tighten up each nut so

that equal pressure is given to both clips.

Giving excessive pressure may cause damage on CPU

core or result in other critical impairment. Please be
cautious never to tighten up the clip beyond the point
the spring normally allows without getting pressed
out of shape.

We, 3R SYSTEM , are not responsible for any

malfunction or damage of the product and any
damage on your system or system components,
including CPU core damage, all of which resulted
from giving too much pressure to the clips.

e After you finish with the settling with the CPU jacket,

please cover the top of the clip with the clip cap.

15

f When CPU jacket is securely installed, connect its

power RPM signal connector to the power outlet from
the PSU (Power Supply Unit) and the CPU fan
connector on motherboard.

16

5) Radiator and water tank Installation

① Attach the water tank on the radiator using the clip.

② Install radiator to have inflow and

outflow valve at the bottom and
place the water tank on top.

③ Attach the radiator rear of the

chassis where you can install an 80mm case fan.

17

Please take care that the hoses are not bent while

installing.

Cli

6) Fan Installation
① In c a se of using included fan

Please install the fan as shown in the picture below.

The direction of the air flow is very important

to the performance.

18

② In case of using high speed 80mm fan like 3,500

RPM or higher

Please install the fan as shown in the picture below.

19

2.

Reverse front case fan flow direction

1. As shown, if there is a front inflow case fan, it may interfere

with radiator fan airflow.

2.

In this case, reverse the front inflow fan to the front

outflow case fan. This will assist radiator fan(s) airflow.

V. Coolant Refill.

1.

Lack of coolant

a. There might be some natural evaporation after 1 or 2 years o

20

pump

g

V. Coolant Refill

1. Lack of coolant

1) There might be some natural evaporation after 1 or 2 years

of the operation.

2) You need to refill the coolant when ;

- you hear some strange sound from the water pump.

- the coolant is not flowing.

Even if there is lack of coolant the cooling unit

will not be dama

Please keep the water tank side up all the time.
When you reinstall the water cooler, there might

be too much air inside of the water pump which
makes the system doesn’t work properly. In this
case, please uninstall the system and shake the
pump with water tank upside to remove the air
from the

21

ed.

. After that, reinstall the system.

2. Refilling Coolant.

1) You need to shut down the system and unplug the power

code from the power outlet before you begin.

2) Open the cap of the water tank and refill the coolant using

distilled water which can be purchased from a pharmacy or
a CVS using a syringe or a dropper.

3) After you finish first refill, please repeat procedur e 1 & 2

once more after running the system for 5 minutes or more.

Detach the water tank Refill the coolant

Please be careful with the liquid not to drop on the

system.

Please avoid any physical contact, especially eye

area and bare skin. The fluid inside this product
may cause irritation if it contacts your body.
Incase of contact, immediately flush eyes or skin
with plenty of water. If irritation persists, call a
physician.
