3.
Installing the MCW50™ GPU Cooler
The MCW50™ retention mechanism can either use the two diagonal holes featured in many graphics cards
such as ATI
Radeon™ 9000 to 9700 families, or the four mounting holes found in NVidia GeForce™
families of products. It can also be installed with other graphics processors by using permanent bonding agents, such as thermally
conductive epoxies. We recommend Arctic Silver™ or Arctic Alumina™ epoxy.
Install your block onto the graphics card, as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2 (p.1) according to your application. A “finger –tight” lock is
sufficient when tightening the spring retention assemblies. Over-tightening will squish the nylon screw spacer body, and result in uneven
pressure over the GPU.

Re-install the graphics card in the AGP slot, and proceed with filling and bleeding the cooling circuit.
6. Type of Coolant:
a.
For best performance, use 95% distilled water, and 5% Swiftech brand “HydrX” corrosion inhibitor (available here:
“accessories” section).
b.
In ALL cases, you MUST use Distilled water AND a corrosion inhibitor with the MCW5002 water-block. Regular automotive
anti-freeze is acceptable. Automotive manufacturers recommend that not less than 25% is used.
c.
NEVER use tap water, even for a short-term test.
d.
Not following paragraphs b and c above constitutes misuse (*) of the product, and will void your warranty.
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.
Troubleshooting help is available on our

Final 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 safely pulled out. Do not attempt to pull the tube out without pushing squarely against the collet. This may result in damaging the fitting. Further
