7 C OMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
Once your system has been tested for leaks, it is now time to finalize the water-block and components installation. Do not forget to
remove the protective paper you used to protect the CPU and water-block. Follow the instructions listed in the Apogee installation
section to secure your water-block(s) to the motherboard, and then re-install your components inside of the chassis.

III. Draining the system
‰ You will need to disconnect a line from one of the lowermost components. Procure a bucket large enough to receive
approximately 1 liter of fluid, and place the bucket underneath the connection that you intend to “break”. Disconnect the
line, and place both ends into the bucket.
‰ Open up the fill-cap from the MCRES-1000P. This will allow most of the fluid to escape.
‰ A cleaner and much more convenient method consists in incorporating a drain assembly into the circuit during initial
installation. See TV500 drain assembly below.
IV. Periodic maintenance
‰ Every 6 months: dust off the radiator fins and fan. You can use a can of compressed air for example, available
in most electronic supply stores. If you live in a very dusty area, you should perform this task at closer intervals.
It is essential to maintain the optimum performance of your cooling system.
‰ Inspect the level of liquid inside the circuit, and refill if necessary. Evaporation in this closed circuit is extremely
limited, but still present due to permeability in the vinyl lines.
