Common installation guidelines
Removal of the motherboard is necessary to install the mounting posts in all cases, except for AMD® socket 754, 939, 940
and AM2.
Two sets of barb fittings are supplied to accommodate high-performance circuits: 3/8” barbs, and ½” barb.
The Apogee water-block may be installed in any direction. Simply rotate the water-block in your hand prior to fasten it to the
processor when you are filling up the circuit. This will purge it from any air bubbles.
The inlet and outlet are interchangeable with respect to flow direction.
Coolant: use of distilled water is mandatory. Swiftech’s HydrX coolant is recommended as an antifungal, and corrosion
inhibitor.
1. Step-by step
Install the fittings with their o-rings into the waterblock. Tighten each fitting until the flange of the fitting mates with the ledge
of the water-block o-ring groove, then lock it by adding ¼ to ½ turn.
Remove the existing heatsink from your motherboard.
Apply the provided Arctic Céramique thermal compound to the CPU following the comprehensive installation instructions
provided here:
http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique_instructions.htm
Install the Apogee water-block following the individual installation schematics for each type of CPU socket provided
hereafter.
Connect the tubing to the water-block hose-barbs. Use the provided hose-clamps to secure the tubing to the barbs.
2. Individual installation schematics
The provided mounting hardware is common to Intel® Pentium® 4 socket 478, socket LGA775, and AMD® socket 462. AMD® socket 754, 939,
940, and AM2 mounting hardware is identified in a separate pack, as well as Intel® Xeon hardware. A separate hold-down plate is provided for
AMD AM2 socket. The mounting hardware for Intel Xeon “Nocona” class processors (800Mhx FSB motherboards) is sold separately under part #
AP-NC604.
