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

for detailed instructions.

Rub some compound in base of water-

block first, and then clean off with lint-

free cloth

Apply small amount of

compound on the CPU heat

spreader

2. Water-block orientation
For ease of operations during bleeding, the outlet should always be at the highest point (while system is standing upright):

3. Water-block installation

Step 2

Step 3

Step 1
Center the water-block inside the retention
frame. Put both clips in place for the next
step, by simply slipping the hook of each
clip into the holes of the retention frame.

While maintaining the opposite side of the
block to prevent it from tipping over, push
down on the clips’ thumb-tab until the hook
catches the hole in the retention frame.

Keep maintaining pressure on the block to
prevent it from tipping over, and hook­down the second clip.

Installation is 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.

5. 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

.

6. 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.

7. 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)
