INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a Swiftech™ H20-120 PREMIUM 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.
I. TUBE ROUTING The tubing for the water-cooling system must be routed to form a complete loop that includes all elements of the system. When daisy-chaining components, the simplest and most natural route is usually the best. Always avoid sharp bends that would kink the tubing! The following table contains examples on how to establish connections between the different elements of a cooling circuit based on multiple possible configurations.
1 MCR120-F RADIATOR INSTALLATION Your first choice is to decide whether you will be installing the radiator INSIDE of the computer, or use the included “Radbox” to hang the radiator OUTSIDE at the back of the computer chassis.
External radiator installation using the “Radbox” PCI pass-thru Installation Make sure to insert your fan electrical connector through the slotted hole of the PCI bracket before you install the tubing. Only 3-pin connectors (the type that connect to the motherboard) are small enough to pass through the slotted hole. 4-pin Molex connectors (the type that connect to your power supply) will require that the terminals be removed from the Molex housing first.

B. Housing/Fan/Radiator installation Once you have found a satisfactory position for the Radbox base plate, secure the housing and fan to the radiator using the provided (4) M3.5 x 30mm Philips screws. Ensure that the exit of the fan wire is positioned towards the bottom of the PC and to its left (towards the motherboard) to facilitate further routing of the wire through the PCI pass-thru. C. Finalizing the installation Secure the housing/fan/radiator assembly to the base plate with the provided #4 screws.

The Apogee water-block ships pre-installed with the multi-socket hold-down plate. In order to install your Apogee with AMD’s AM2 socket, you will need to remove the existing hold-down plate and replace it with the AM2 model as follows: Step 1: loosen all 4 screws using the included hex key, and set aside the standard hold-down plate. Step 2: place the AM2 hold-down plate on the Apogee body, and fasten all four screws in cross pattern. You can now use your Apogee with AM2 socket.
3 PREPARING THE TUBING Now that your radiator, water-block, pump and reservoir are in place, it is time to cut segments of tubing and connect the devices together. In addition to the supplied high quality vinyl tubing, your kit also comes with a 40” length of Smartcoils which, when extended provides a sufficient length to wrap 6 feet of tubing. Use of these coils is mandatory in order to prevent kinking and flattening of the tube over time.
4 MCRES-1000P ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION Introduction The radiator inlet and outlet spigots must be oriented upwards during the filling procedure. If you are using the Radbox, and already fastened the radiator/fan/Radbox housing to the Radbox base plate, go ahead and dismount the assembly and let the radiator/fan/housing assembly hang down over your bench table as shown in the picture paragraph B step1. Generally speaking proceed deliberately and frequently check your work.
TIP! If you overfill the reservoir, you can use a bundled-up paper towel to soak-up the excess fluid. Step 4. Tilt the assembly upwards to allow the fluid to fill-up the circuit by simple gravity. Allow the fluid to fill-up both tubes. The pump discharge line will retain a 2” long bubble, which is normal at this stage. See troubleshooting note (1) if the pump discharge tube does not fill-up properly. Step 5.
B. Alternate filling procedure The following filling procedure applies to situations where the reservoir must be or is already installed inside of the CD-Rom bay. Please refer to steps 1, and 2 (paragraph A) above for physical connections and installation in the CD-Rom drive Bay. Step 1. Radiator inlet and outlet should always be oriented upwards during the filling procedure. In the above picture, the MCB-120 Radbox conveniently allows you to let the radiator fan assembly hang from your workbench.
Step 6. Bring the PC back up as shown in step 3 above (keep it angled at 15 to 20°), and complete filling-up the reservoir as necessary, and then close the fill port. Complete the installation by securing the MCRES-1000 in the CD-Rom bay with the provided M3 screws, as shown in step 8, paragraph A. YOUR SYSTEM IS NOW READY TO USE! ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO RUN FOR (3) HOURS, AND FREQUENTLY INSPECT ALL YOUR CONNECTIONS FOR POSSIBLE LEAKS BEFORE YOU RECONNECT YOUR COMPONENTS (MOTHERBOARD, HARD DRIVES, ETC.
7 COMPLETING 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 the Apogee installation section to secure your water-block(s) to the motherboard, and then re-install your components inside of the chassis.
