Preamble
The MCR120-F
 ships with the fan pre-assembled to the radiator. It has been configured so that the fan will draw fresh air from outside of the chassis.
This configuration is preferred to optimize cooling of the CPU. In effect, if the fan flow direction were reversed, it would use heated air inside of the
chassis, which is usually 3
°C (at best) and up to 10°C hotter than that of the ambient air outside of the chassis.
1. Installation
Depending where a 120mm fan opening is available, the MCR120-F
 can be installed as shown in Figure 1 (back of the chassis), or Figure 2 (front of
the chassis). Due to the wide variety of chassis configurations, Swiftech cannot guarantee that this assembly will bolt into any chassis without some
modifications. However, an external mounting solution is optionally available with the
MCB120  “Radbox” which will usually allow a plug-and-play
installation with most desktop computers.
2. Bleeding
For bleeding purposes, the preferred radiator orientation is with inlet and outlet pointing up as shown above. Nonetheless, the radiator can also be
installed at 90
° or 180°. In such cases, simply rotate the radiator back upwards to allow the air trapped inside to escape during the filling and bleeding
process. For this reason, it might be more convenient to fasten the radiator to the chassis after the circuit has been fully filled and bled.
3. Using
quick-connect fittings
If you are using soft vinyl tubing, you must also use the provided tube
inserts. Cut the extremity of the tube squarely, and fully engage the tube
insert into the tube as shown in Figure 3.
