c. Spread a little bit of grease or liquid
soap around the tubing. It helps pushing the
tubes in, particularly with Clearflex
 tubing,
which features a very “sticky” surface.
d. Fully insert both tubes into the fittings. The tip of the plastic tube inserts should be flush
with the inlet and outlet openings, as shown in figure 4 above. Inserting the tubes requires a
firm push, accompanied by a twisting motion.
II. Installation for Intel  platforms
1.
Prepare your Motherboard
Remove the existing heat sink
Carefully clean the processor, using alcohol
Install the 4 neoprene pads as shown figure 8. This
steps is only necessary if the processor core is exposed.
If the chipset features a heat spreader (a large lid
covering the entire area of the chipset), then the
neoprene pads MUST not be installed.
Lightly coat the processor with the provided 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
°
angle

Install the MCW20-P™ water-block
TIP! It is preferable to have the tubing inserted
into the water-block BEFORE you install the
block onto the motherboard. This is because
pushing the tubes into the block while it is
already installed could exert undue pressure
onto the microprocessor.
Place the MCW20-P™ onto the processor, as
shown in figure 9: hooks should be engaged
into two diagonal motherboard loops first, then
install the nylon tension limiters (flange facing
down), the springs, and tighten the assembly
with the acorn nuts.
