Product Description

The MCRES-MICRO is a small form factor reservoir designed for liquid-cooled personal computers.
The device features two 1/4” NPSM threaded ports and a Pg7 fill-port and is shipped with two sets of hose barbs, 3/8” and ½” to

accommodate most high-flow systems.
The port usage is defined as follows:

 Upper port: “In from system” shown in figure 1 is the return line from the system
 Lower port: “Out to pump inlet” shown in figure 1 should be connected to the pump inlet.
 The fill-port located on top of the unit is used to fill it up with coolant, and sealed with a Pg7 plug.

Installation

The MCRES-MICRO can be installed in any suitable location meeting its form factor requirements. For filling purposes, it is preferable
to install the MCRES-MICRO at the highest point of the liquid cooling loop.

Fastening the device to the case: two mounting methods can be used

 Permanent mount with the provided mounting hardware as shown in figure 1 page 1, and various examples on

page 3.

 Easy mount, with the provided Velcro strips. Please note that a permanent mount is recommended for a reliable

fastening of the device over time.

Recommended coolant, and prohibited fluids

We recommend using distilled water with a 5% (or up to 10%) of Swiftech’s HydrX coolant.

Use of alcohols (Alcohol Allyl, Amyl, Benzyl, Ethyl (Ethanol), Isopropyl, Methyl (Methanol), n-Butyl) or antifreeze products
containing the listed alcohols is prohibited as it will result in deteriorati on of the product over-time, and will void your
warranty. Resistance to Ethylene and Methylene glycol used in antifreeze products is excellent.

Minimum Operating Level is situated at the Swiftech Logo (approximately ½” of the reservoir). The reservoir should not be operated

below this level, which could result in degradation of the system cooling.
