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

2. Waterblock orientation

For ease of operations during the filling and bleeding procedures, the outlet should always be at the highest point (while the computer system is standing upright):

3. Water-block installation

The MCW6000 series can be installed using two different methods (also see figure 1 and 2):

 Using the spring-loaded screws and standoffs included with the water-block (fig. 1), or  Using the plastic retention frames and spring slips included with most motherboards (fig. 2)

You may use either method at your convenience. For installation with our own spring loaded screws, follow the instructions below. For installation with Intel’s spring clips, follow the instructions included in your motherboard manual.

Installation with spring loaded screws:

 Remove the motherboard from the chassis, and remove the stock retention plastic frames to expose

the mounting holes.

 Install the standoffs though the holes, using fiber washers and locknuts as shown in figure 1.

 Tighten the standoffs as shown figure 3, using a ¼” socket tool to drive the standoff, and a

 Tighten the spring-loaded screws in a crisscross pattern until the screws bottom out

3. 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. 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.

4. 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)
