STEP 5. MOUNT ON FAN
The bracket can be mounted directly to a 120 or 140mm fan with four
included Fan Screws.
Thanks to the 42mm pitch mounting holes you can install the
reservoir on many pump brackets such as the “Universal
Pump Bracket” from Phanteks. It is included with many Phanteks
cases and available separately.
STEP 6. POWER ON
- Make sure all connectors and ttings are tightened.
- Connect the pump to a power source.
- Fill the reservoir and let the pump run until all air is released.
Let the pump run for multiple hours. Tilting the system
can help to release air bubbles.
For optimal performance please check the following:
- Make sure the pump never runs dry.
- Close any unused ports with Stop Fittings.
- Always perform a leak test before turning on the system.
