1. Preparing your Motherboard
Remove the existing heat sink and carefully clean the CPU.
Apply thermal compound: lightly coat the CPU with the provided Céramique™ thermal compound. Follow this link
http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique_instructions.htm
Rub some compound in base of water-
block first, and then clean off with lint-
free cloth
for detailed instructions.
Apply small amount of
compound on the CPU heat
spreader
2. Water-block orientation
There are 4 possible socket orientations in socket A (socket 462) motherboards:
Most common - OK
In order to bleed correctly during the fill and bleed operations, and
while the system is standing upright, the water-block discharge should
always be at the highest point, as shown in case 1 and 2.
If your block installs as shown in case 1 and 2, then proceed with
installation instructions in paragraph 3.
If due to the socket orientation the water-block is oriented as shown in
case 3 or 4, such as frequently encountered in dual processor boards
for example, then the water-block must be bled PRIOR to installation
onto the socket:
Simply set-up your cooling circuit first, and while filling it up with fluid,
hold the water-block in your hand with the discharge pointing upwards
so that all the air trapped into the block will escape. Then attach the
water-block onto the socket.

3. Water-block installation
CRITICAL PREAMBLE - MUST READ!
Case 4
As shown in figure 1 page 1, there is a specific side allocated to each spring: the STIFF spring
goes opposite to the socket cam-box, and the SOFT spring goes on the same side as the socket
cam-box. The springs are color-coded to prevent any mistakes: the stiff spring has been plated
with a black zinc coating, while the soft spring is zinc plated in a shiny metallic grey.
You MUST be extremely careful to respect this arrangement!
Not respecting this arrangement will result in unbalanced pressure, and prevent the water-block
to sit flat onto the processor, resulting in high temperatures, and likely damage to the CPU.

Place the MCW6000 or 6002-A over the CPU as shown in figure 1 page 1.
The water-block step side MUST be located over the socket cam box. A label affixed to
the base of the water-block clearly identifies which side this is.
The retention clips should snap over each side, and hook onto the socket
tabs. Make sure that the clips are properly aligned to fit snugly underneath
the tabs.
Gradually
loosen (counter-clockwise) each spring-loaded screw to release
the spring tension, checking that the clips remain engaged underneath the
tabs.
TIP: if space permits, hold the clips pressed against the socket while
loosening the screws, as shown in figure 2. This will prevent the clips for
disengaging themselves from underneath the tabs at start-up. N all
Continue backing off until the head of the screw completely clears the top
of the bracket, as shown figure 3.
Double-check to ensure that the clips have remained underneath the tabs.
Installation to the CPU is now complete !
4. Connecting the water-block(s) to the cooling circuit:
Carefully identify the direction of the flow in your circuit. For the MCW6000 to
operate properly, the fitting located at the center of the water-block MUST BE
USED AS THE INLET.
TIP! In multi-processor environments, connect the two blocks in series:
For example: pump discharge to inlet of processor 1, discharge of processor
1 to inlet of processor 2, and discharge of processor 2 to radiator.
Attaching the tubes:
The MCW6000™ series ship with worm-drive type hose clamps. Secure the
tubes as shown in the picture to the right (shown below with an AMD
bracket), and tighten firmly
.
5. Type of Coolant:
Being entirely made of copper, the MCW6000™ series may be used with pure water,
and do not necessitate the use of anti-corrosion agents. The use of an algaecide is
nonetheless recommended in any liquid cooling system, and our HydrX™ additive also
performs such function.
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. Do not test the water-block using city water
pressure. This will bow the top of the housing and render the block unusable (and will
void your warranty). Maximum pressure allowable for testing is 25 psi (1.7 bar)
