I. Preparing the motherboard
You must uninstall your MB prior to installing the MCW462-U water-block.
• Install standoffs in MB
Remove the stock heatsink support base
(the black plastic frame that clips down to
your motherboard). This will reveal the
four mounting holes we use to install our
standoffs. Install a standoff in each one
Standoff
Nylon, hex nut
on back side of
the MB
of the holes. Keep the standoff centered
over the MB holes, and secure with nylon
hex nuts on backside of the MB. If you
are going to assemble/disassemble the
heat sink frequently, we recommend
finishing the installation by putting a drop
of “Crazy Glue “ at the junction between
standoff & MB, and between nylon hex
nut & MB. This will lock the standoff onto
the MB, and further prevent it from
spinning lose during frequent assembly
and disassembly operations.
II. Water-block installation

• Re-install the MB inside the case.
• Install the Pentium 4 mounting brackets as shown on the schematic to the
right.
• The case should be laying flat on a table.
• Insert the processor into the socket, and lightly coat the processor core
with high quality thermal compound. Only a paper-thin coat is necessary.
It should be applied using preferably a razor blade, or a credit card, held
between thumb and index at a 45-degree angle. It is critical to ascertain that
the entire core is covered with a uniform coat of thermal compound. Thermal
performance will dramatically decrease if any portion of the core is not
covered by thermal compound. We recommend Arctic Silver or similar highend compound for superior thermal conductivity.
• Insert the tubing into your MCW462-U water-block prior to installing it
onto the CPU. The reason is that inserting the tubes into the fittings
requires some strength, and it is preferable not to do this while the block is
sitting on the CPU. If you are going to use soft vinyl tubing (transparent
tubing), it is IMPERATIVE that you use the two plastic inserts provided with
your kit.
• Prepare 4 assemblies composed of a 1 ½” screw, and 1 spring.

• Install MCW462-U on the CPU. Orientation is important for bleeding purposes. Please look-up the critical bleeding instructions paragraph below
prior to installing the block on the CPU.
• Gradually tighten the screws in a crisscross pattern until you feel that they reach the bottom of the standoff. A “finger-tight” lock is sufficient.
Over tightening may result in stripping the nylon hex nut. Conversely, adjustments such as tightening the screws only partially are strictly
prohibited. Such attempts will result in improper contact between the CPU core and the heat sink, and result in CPU overheating.
CRITICAL BLEEDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The following applies mostly to dual processor installations. Depending on the orientation of the socket, it is critical to observe the position in which
your water-block is oriented for bleeding purposes. Assuming that the computer is standing up, and that the water-block is facing you as shown in
Fig.1 and Fig 2. below, Fig. 1 shows the two positions in which the MCW462-U will bleed correctly, and Fig. 2 shows the two positions in which the
MCW462-U will not bleed.
Two solutions are available to bleed the water-block correctly:
1. Bleed the water-block prior to installing on the CPU. Simply rotate the block in the position shown in Fig. 1.
2. If you prefer to install the block first, then bleeding should be done with the computer laying down flat so that the Swiftech logo is facing
downwards, as shown in Fig. 3
