If the graphics card comes equipped with memory heat sinks, it may become necessary to remove or replace the heat sinks
with low profile after-market parts. To re-install these heat sinks, Arctic Alumina™ epoxy is recommended for optimum
performance instead of thermally conductive tape.

Connecting the MCW40™ to the rest of the cooling circuit

a. Terminate each end of the tubing with the provided plastic tube inserts. These inserts are mandatory with vinyl tubing, such as

provided in your package, but are not necessary with harder types of tubing such as polyethylene.

b. Insert each tube in the inlet and outlet of the MCW40™ . It is essential to ensure that the tube is pushed all the way inside the

fitting: with transparent vinyl tubing, a good way to verify correct installation is to make sure that the plastic tube insert is no
longer visible outside of the block.

Tube insert

Note concerning removal of the tubing: Push in collet squarely against face of fitting. With the collet held in this position, the
tube can be removed with a firm pull. Do not attempt to pull the tube out without pushing squarely against the collet. This may
result in damaging the fitting. Further details for using quick-connect fittings are also available here:

Re-install the graphics card in the AGP slot, and proceed with filling and bleeding the cooling circuit. A mix of 75% purified
water and 25% antifreeze is recommended

4. 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.
