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.
MCR80-F2 Radiator installation
The radiator/fan assembly fits into any exhaust opening designed to
receive a 80mm case fan. Depending on the case design, the assembly
will either fit straight up (inlet and outlet up), or may need to be rotated
90
° as shown below:
Figure 1
Please refer to the separate installation guide provided with the MCR80-
F2 radiator assembly to fasten the radiator to the chassis (also see
appendix).
2. MCP650 Pump installation
Preferable position 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.
The pump’s inlet and outlet are ½” in outside diameter. A
1½ ft.
length of ½” ID tubing is pre-installed on the pump inlet and will be
connected directly to the reservoir ½” barb discharge. The pump
discharge is pre-installed with a 3/8” barb adapter and connects to
the rest of the circuit.
Figure 2
Please refer to the separate installation guide for specific
information regarding the pump (also see appendix).
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.
Locate the installation guide for your particular model in appendix,
and follow the instructions to secure the water-block(s) to the
motherboard.
4. MCRES-525 reservoir installation
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.
