Liquid Cooling System

Caution

1. Before pouring liquid coolant into the tank to test the liquid cooling system, please
reconfirm all the tubes have been fastened and the tube clips are in the right position.

2. While the water in the tank is lower than the low water-level, the red light on the bottom
of PCB will blink. (Please purchase GIGABYTE

™

liquid coolant to fill it.)

3. When the liquid is lower than the low water-level, the system will turn off automatically
within four seconds after detection of water inadequacy.

4. While removing the tubes for disassembly, please make sure to keep all the devices
away from any electronic part. (Please refer to disassembly process instruction)

The following are not covered by the warranty

1. Use the product incorrectly or in a manner other than the designed purpose.

2. Nonobservance of the proper operation provided. (e.g. over-clocking)

3. Malfunction due to interference from other devices.

4. Unauthorized modification of the product.

5. Consequential damage to other objects due to the product’s fault.

6. Malfunction arising from casualties (earthquake, thunder, fire, and flood).

7. The product’s warranty label has been removed or damaged.

8. The devices inside, including power supply, hard disk, CD-ROM drive, motherboard,
ventilator, etc, are not detached from the casing prior to the transportation of the com

-

puter product, resulting in damage to the casing or computer-related devices.

9. Any loss caused by failure to follow the installation process contained in the user
manual.

10. Any damage to the system arising from coolant leakage due to improper installation.

11. Use only GIGABYTE

liquid coolant; any damage arising from using

other liquid product is not covered by warranty.

5-1 Liquid Cooling System Installation and Test

Tool needed: Coolant

5-1-1 Open the lid of the tank to

pour in liquid coolant and
close the lid.

5.Liquid Cooling System Installation and Test

Before pouring liquid coolant into the tank to test the liquid cooling system, please remove
the tank from the chassis to avoid damaging other components.
Before turning on the power, please confirm that all the tube clips are fastened; leakage of
liquid coolant due to improper installation may damage the system that is not covered by
warranty. (as figure showen)

5-2 Radiator Installation

5-2-1 Lock the radiator rack to the

radiator with screws.

5-2-2 Re move the 2 screws on th e

po w e r su p pl y at the rea r of
chassis as shown.

Note: For the first time of pouring liquid coolant into the tank; the radiator should be
lay down flat to facilitate exhaust air to ensure the liquid cooling system to function
silently. Installing the radiator in accordance with the following step 5-2 ; make
sure all the air bubble in the tube has been removed to ensure the performance of
cooling.

5-1-2 Turn on the power until all liquid coolant

drains into the tubes; the red light on the
bottom of the PCB will blink and bleep; the
system will turn off automatic ally within 4
seconds. (This is normal or initial refilling of
liquid coolant since the tube and radiator are
not full of liquid.)

5-1-3 Open the lid of the tank again to refill the tank

with liquid coolant and than close the lid. Turn
on the power one more time and repeat this
step until the water is no longer lower than
the low water-level.

Be aware of abnormal leakage. If the installation was correct and the tube

clips are fastened, and the liquid cooling system leaks, please turn off the

power immediately and drain out all coolant. Contact GIGABYTE

™

dealers

or GIGABYTE

™

service center.

19

English

5-2-3 To accomplish liquid cooling

system, align the 2 screw holes
on the radiator rack to the 2 screw
holes on the power supply and
fasten them up.

With GIGABYTE™ 3D Aurora,
Triton, Poseidon series, water tank
can be placed inside of the chassis.
[use 2 screws (b), please refer to
accessories list]
Velcro could be used to place the
tank while using the chassis other
than 3D Aurora, Triton and Poseidon
series.

While removing the tubes for disassembly, please make sure to keep all

the devices away from any electronic part.
