I. Preparing the motherboard
You must uninstall your MB prior to installing the MCW462-U water-block.
• Install standoffs in MB
Nylon, hex nut
on back side of
the MB
Standoff
Remove the stock heatsink support base
(the black plastic frame that clips down to
your motherboard). This will reveal the
four mounting holes we use to install our
standoffs. Install a standoff in each one
of the holes. Keep the standoff centered
over the MB holes, and secure with nylon
hex nuts on backside of the MB. If you
are going to assemble/disassemble the
heat sink frequently, we recommend
finishing the installation by putting a drop
of “Crazy Glue “ at the junction between
standoff & MB, and between nylon hex
nut & MB. This will lock the standoff onto
the MB, and further prevent it from
spinning lose during frequent assembly
and disassembly operations.
• Re-install the MB inside the case.
II. Water-block installation
• Install the Pentium 4 mounting brackets as shown on the schematic to the
right.
• The case should be laying flat on a table.
• Insert the processor into the socket, and lightly coat the processor core
with high quality 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-degree angle. It is critical to ascertain that
the entire core is covered with a uniform coat of thermal compound. Thermal
performance will dramatically decrease if any portion of the core is not
covered by thermal compound. We recommend Arctic Silver or similar high-
end compound for superior thermal conductivity.
• Insert the tubing into your MCW462-U water-block prior to installing it
onto the CPU. The reason is that inserting the tubes into the fittings
requires some strength, and it is preferable not to do this while the block is
sitting on the CPU. If you are going to use soft vinyl tubing (transparent
tubing), it is IMPERATIVE that you use the two plastic inserts provided with
your kit.
• Prepare 4 assemblies composed of a 1 ½” screw, and 1 spring.
