Installation sequence:
1. Temporarily fasten 2 diagonal screws
without
their springs and washers. This
will conveniently align back-plate 9
with hold-down plate 8.
2. Then Install the other 2 screws with
their springs and washers as shown in
this schematic, and tighten them half way.
3. Remove the first two screws,
and re-install them with their springs
and washers and tighten half-way.
4. Complete tightening all four
screw-spring assemblies in a cross
pattern.

1. Preparing your graphics card
2. Before installing the block onto the graphics card cut two pieces of tubing of sufficient length to connect to the rest of your circuit, and
a. Remove the existing heat sink
b. Carefully clean the GPU (graphics processing unit)
c. Lightly coat the GPU with the provided Arctic Céramique thermal compound.
install them into the MCW55™ Inlet and outlet. It is absolutely imperative to use the provided tube inserts when using clear vinyl (soft)
tubing (figure 3). Make sure that the tubes are fully inserted into the fitting. The tip of the plastic tube inserts should be flush with the inlet
and outlet openings. Inserting the tubes requires a firm push, accompanied by a twisting motion. Note that a little bit of dishwashing liquid
soap rubbed around the extremity of the tube greatly helps its insertion.

Once the tubes are inserted, gently pull them to
separate the collets from the face of the waterblock,
and insert the safety clips as shown in Figure 5

3. Installing the MCW55™ GPU Cooler
The MCW55™ retention mechanism can either use the two diagonal holes featured in many graphics cards such as ATI Radeon™
9000 to 9700 families, or the four mounting holes found in NVidia GeForce™ families of products.

Install your block onto the graphics card, as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2 (p.1) according to your application. A “finger –tight” lock is
always sufficient when tightening the spring retention assemblies. Over-tightening will squish the nylon screw spacer body, and result in
uneven pressure over the GPU.
4. Re-install the graphics card in the AGP or PCI slot, connect the tubes to the rest of the circuit, and proceed with filling and bleeding
the cooling circuit.
5. Type of Coolant: For best performance, use 95% distilled water, and 5% Swiftech brand “HydrX” corrosion inhibitor (available here:
http://www.swiftnets.com/store/category.asp?CatID=2
6. Final inspection: Once the installation is completed, it is always a good idea to test the circuit for leaks, prior to powering up the
computer. Troubleshooting help is available on our web site at www.swiftnets.com
Removal of the tubing:
1. Remove the red safety clips
2. In quick-connect fittings, the collets contain a ring of shark-like teeth that prevent the tubing from coming out of the fitting. In order to
release the ring of teeth and allow the tube to come out, the collet needs to be pushed squarely flat against the face of the water-block.
To make sure that the collet remains completely flat against the face of the water-block while the tube is being pulled out, use a simple
½” flat wrench. Then holding the tube with 3 fingers as shown below, push with your thumb against the face of the wrench, this will pull
the tube out of the fitting. This simple leverage effect works great, and avoids many frustrations!

IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS:
If you need to disassemble the waterblock for cleaning purposes, it is extremely important to exert the utmost care in re-fastening the copper
base-plate to the housing. Since an o-ring assures the seal between housing and base-plate, little pressure is needed to guarantee a good
seal between these two components. Fasten the four screws finger-tight only, or you take the risk of stripping the thread of the plastic
housing. Note that no warranty claims will be accepted for stripped threads in the housing.
