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 appendix to secure your
water-block(s) to the motherboard, and then re-install your components inside of the chassis.
Ideal high overall performance installation (with “Radbox”)
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.
