INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Swiftech™ H20-120 liquid cooling system!
This kit has been designed to facilitate the installation of the components without having to make any modifications to the
chassis. While all attempts have been made to make the installation of this system user friendly, please note that this
system is intended for users that are well versed in installing computer components.
G ENERAL G UIDELINES
Please read this guide carefully and entirely before you start this installation. Plan your installation ahead. Observe
the relative position of the components for possible interference with other components.
Never work with electricity connected to the computer while work is in progress.
While it is possible to install the kit in a chassis already populated with all typical components, such as hard drive, CD
Rom, power supply, Video Card, etc, it is recommended that these components be removed from the case prior to
installing the water cooling system. The motherboard and CPU may remain in the chassis, and will be useful to
estimate the length of tubing necessary to connect the different components. But the motherboard must be
disconnected from the power-supply during the entire mock-up phase of the installation. In case of a spill or leak on
the motherboard, do not panic! As long as the motherboard is not electrically connected, no harm is done. You must
however thoroughly dry the exposed area, using a hair dryer for example, and wait a minimum of 6 to 8 hours prior to
re-connecting the motherboard to its power source.
The reservoir should always be at the highest point of the cooling circuit (top 5 ¼” tray).
Think about the airflow inside your chassis. In liquid-cooling environments, it is always better to draw fresh air from the
outside through the radiator, as opposed to using the warm air from inside the computer.
Make sure to dry-fit all components before making final connections and filling the water-cooling system.
