Water-block orientation
For ease of operations during the filling and bleeding procedures, the outlet should always be at the highest point (while the
computer system is standing upright):

3. Water-block

installation

The MCW6000-NX water-block uses Intel’s validated retention spring, provided in accordance to Intel specifications by the
motherboard vendors. Installation of the water-block to the processor is identical to that of a standard heatsink, normally
described in the motherboard installation guide. Simply screw down all 4 Philips screws to the chassis standoffs as shown in
Figure 1, and installation is complete.

worm-drive clamps

Connecting the water-block(s) to the cooling circuit:

Carefully identify the direction of the flow in your circuit. For the MCW6000 to operate
properly, the fitting located at the center of the water-block MUST BE USED AS THE
INLET. In multi-processor environments, connect the two blocks in series: For example:
from pump discharge to inlet of processor 1, discharge of processor 1 to inlet of processor 2,
and discharge of processor 2 to radiator.

Attaching the tubes:

When sold separately, the MCW6000™ ships with worm-drive type hose clamps. Secure the
tubes as shown in figure 2 (shown in this example with an AMD hold-down plate), and tighten
firmly. When sold in kits, the tubes are factory pre-installed with ear-clamps.

6. Type

Coolant:

Being entirely made of copper, the MCW6000™ may be used with pure water, and does not
necessitate the use of anti-corrosion agents. The use of an algaecide is nonetheless
recommended in any liquid cooling system, and our HydrX™ additive also performs such
function.

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. Do not test the water-block using city water pressure. This
will bow the top of the housing and render the block unusable (and will void your warranty).
Maximum pressure allowable for testing is 25 psi (1.7 bar)
