II. Installation of the cooling components
1. MCR-D RIVE R ADIATOR - PUMP INSTALLATION
Choosing where and how to install the MCR Drive radiator-pump is the primary focus of this installation. This choice is largely dictated by your
chassis mechanical layout, and your willingness and/or expertise in performing case modifications. From a general prospective, there can only
be two ways to install the unit: inside of the case or outside of the case.
Internal installation without extensive case modifications is now easier than ever thanks to the unit compact and integrated design, but still
remains confined to a limited number of cases, most of which are listed below. External installation is normally always possible without case
modifications thanks to
the included “Radbox” enclosure, which allows you to hang the unit at the back of your chassis. Detailed schematics of
the Radbox installation are provided further in this chapter.
The installation configuration table presented hereafter provides snapshots of the 3D models that we have created for you in the installation CD,
and that represent common configurations in both internal and external installations. The CD folders are organized in the same fashion as the
installation configuration table. The configurations are generally presented in sets of 3 models:

Cooling of the CPU only,

Cooling of the CPU + (1) Graphics Card

Cooling of the CPU + (2) Graphics Card in SLI
The external installations are illustrated with a mid-tower case, since it is assumed that this type of chassis is generally too small to host a dual or
triple radiator internally. With the increased popularity of liquid-cooling, many chassis manufacturers now include rubberized tube routing holes
at the back of their cases; for this reason, two sets
of configurations are presented: with the included ½” tubes routed thru pre-existing holes, and
with optional 3/8” tubes routed thru a PCI slot (a custom pass-thru PCI bracket is included for this purpose). In the event you needed to switch to
the
3/8” tubing configuration, please contact your Swiftech dealer to procure approximately 6 feet of tubing, anti-kink Smartcoils, and (2) set of
G1/4 3/8” barb fittings.
The internal installations are illustrated with a full-tower case. This 3D model has been modified for the purpose of illustrating various examples
of configuration. A list of cases made by several manufacturers is presented below that are known to allow internal installations of the MCR-Drive
radiator; some may require minor modifications, such as drilling a few screw holes to install the radiator, but they are generally stated as
compatible size wise with the MCR Drive units; please note that the (*) next to the listed model indicates that this model has either been
validated by us, or listed as compatible by the manufacturers. We do not guarantee the accuracy of the provided information other than those
models validated by us.
