your
graphics
card
a.
Remove the existing heat sink
b.
Carefully clean the GPU (graphics processing unit)
c.
Lightly coat the GPU with the provided Arctic Céramique thermal compound.
2.
Before installing the block onto the graphics card cut two pieces of tubing of sufficient length to connect to the rest of your circuit, and
install them into the MCW55™ Inlet and outlet. It is absolutely imperative to use the provided tube inserts when using clear vinyl (soft)
tubing (figure 3). Make sure that the tubes are fully inserted into the fitting. The tip of the plastic tube inserts should be flush with the inlet
and outlet openings. Inserting the tubes requires a firm push, accompanied by a twisting motion. Note that a little bit of dishwashing liquid
soap rubbed around the extremity of the tube greatly helps its insertion.

Once the tubes are inserted, gently pull them to
separate the collets from the face of the waterblock,
and insert the safety clips as shown in Figure 5

Installing the MCW55™ GPU Cooler
The MCW55™ 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.
