II. Installation of the cooling components
The following is a typical sequence of components installation. Placement of the cooling components may vary depending on your chassis and
motherboard configurations. A mock-up installation is thus necessary to estimate the length of the different sections of tubing that will be required
between each component.
1.
MCR120-F Radiator installation
The radiator/fan assembly fits into any exhaust opening designed to
receive a 120mm case fan. Depending on the case design, the radiator
can be installed at the back of the case (most common) as shown fig 1,
or to front of the case. Please refer to the separate
installation guide
provided in appendix to fasten the radiator to the chassis.

2. MCP350 Pump installation
Preferable position of the pump is at the bottom of the chassis.
However, the pump can operate in any position. For optimum
safety, the pump can be bolted to the chassis. TIP! Do not peel-off
the protective sticker until you are satisfied with the position of the
pump, as subsequent removal is destructive to the foam gasket.
When provided in kit form, the MCP350 pump comes with 2 ft. of
pre-installed 3/8” ID tubing at the inlet and outlet. Identify the pump
inlet (the pump barb that does NOT have an arrow), and make
sure to connect this tube to the reservoir discharge barb (the
single barb located on the stepped down compartment of the
reservoir). This is essential for proper operations.

Please refer to the separate installation guide provided in appendix
for specific information regarding the installation of the pump.
4. MCRES-525 reservoir installation 3. Water-block(s) Installation
When provided in kit form, the MCW6000 series water-blocks
receive 2 ft. of pre-installed tubing at the inlet and outlet. In dual
processor kits, one of the water-blocks inlets is free of tubing so that
water-blocks may be installed in series.
Please refer to your specific model installation guide provided in
appendix to install your water-block to the motherboard. Install the MCRES-525 reservoir in the desired 5 ¼” bay, following
the
installation guide located in appendix.
Uppermost drive bay is preferred, but not mandatory. Remember
when you fill-up the system that your circuit responds to the
principle of communicating vessels. If the radiator for example is
higher than the reservoir, the level of fluid in the devices will want
to equalize, so you will need to hold the reservoir higher than the
radiator while filling it up so that it doesn’t overflow, then close the
fill-cap, then secure the radiator in the desired bay.
Position the reservoir so that it protrudes approximately 1 ½”
outside of the case. Measuring the length of tube needed in this
position will give sufficient slack in the line so that you can pull the
reservoir enough to fill-it-up during maintenance operations.
TIP!
For the mock-up installation, interposing a piece of
paper between the water-block and the processor will protect
both the cooler and the processor surfaces.
