Preamble:
This product is intended for expert users only. Please consult with a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation may result in
damage to your components.
Swiftech assumes no liability whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these
products, nor their installation. The following instructions are subject to change without notice. Please visit our web site at

I. Preparing the motherboard
• Install standoffs in MB
Nylon, hex nut
on back side of
the MB
Standoff
Figure 1
You must uninstall your MB prior to installing the
MCW478-UT water-block.
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.
• Fill-up the socket with dielectric grease. Do not confuse
dielectric grease with thermal compound. Dielectric grease
is used to prevent condensation where parts are exposed
to cold. We recommend Luberex (available on our web
site under the accessories section), or any similar product,
with good dielectric properties. Fill-up the socket center
cavity (grease is to be level with the upper surface of the
socket), and coat the socket pinholes with grease. Spread
the grease with your finger so that it will penetrate inside
the pinholes.
• Remove the peel-off paper back from the motherboard
gasket, and install it as shown Figure 2. The sticky side
should be towards the motherboard.
• Insert the processor into the socket. Since you have
grease inside the socket, some hydraulic pressure lift may
occur: for this reason, make sure that the processor sits
perfectly flat, and is inserted all the way into the socket.
Then, 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.
