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.
VGA Cooler discharge to chipset cooler inlet Chipset cooler discharge to radiator (2) inlet Radiator (2) discharge to CPU cooler inlet CPU cooler discharge to reservoir inlet II. INSTALLATION OF THE COOLING COMPONENTS Placement of the cooling components may vary depending on your chassis and motherboard configurations. The following is the recommended sequence of components installation.
Cosmetics: This is the last and probably most difficult choice. Swiftech cannot presume of the user’s tastes, and therefore cannot make a recommendation here. Swiftech pre-assembles the fan and Radbox components to the radiator. Internal radiator installation Strictly from a CPU cooling performance standpoint it is always preferable to install the fan so that it will either draw or push fresh air from outside of the chassis into the radiator.

A. Securing the base plate at the desired location: 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.

4 MCP350 PUMP INSTALLATION General Use The MCP350™ pump is a magnetically driven centrifugal pump featuring a 12 V DC brushless motor. It requires no maintenance when used with de-mineralized water and the appropriate anti-fungal additives. We recommend using 5 to 10% Swiftech’s HydrX™ as an additive.
Permanent Installation Drill two 0.312” (8mm) holes into panel, 2.52” (64mm) apart. Snap grommet into each hole. Tighten the provided screws until the pump neoprene pad is slightly and evenly compressed by approximately 1/8” (2~3mm) or less. Exploded view Performance & Specifications Nominal voltage 12 V DC Operating voltage range 9 to 13.2 VDC Nominal power (@ 12 V) 8.3 W Nominal current (@ 12 V) .
6 PREPARING THE TUBING Now that your radiator, water-block, pump and reservoir are ready, it is time to cut segments of tubing and connect the elements of the cooling system 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.
7 PREPARING THE COOLANT Your kit comes with a 2 Oz (60ml) bottle of Swiftech’s specially formulated HydrX™ concentrated coolant. The product should be mixed with distilled water only. Simply empty the concentrated coolant into a 33 fl oz (1 liter) plastic bottle, and complete filling with distilled water. Your coolant is now ready. Note: a 5% mix might still allow some algae formation over prolonged usage if your system is continuously exposed to daylight (such as a clear acrylic case for example).
10 COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION Once your system has been fully tested for leaks, you may complete all the electrical and data connections to the motherboard, Hard Drives, CD Roms, etc.. INSTALLATION COMPLETE! III. DRAINING THE SYSTEM • • • • Disconnect the PC from AC power You will need to disconnect a line from one of the lowermost components. Procure a bucket large enough to receive approximately 1 liter of fluid, and place the bucket underneath the connection that you intend to “break”.
Add a second Apogee water block for multiprocessor applications, such as dual AMD®, dual Xeon™, or dual Opteron™ Cool the chipset with the MCW30 chipset cooler For Dual Xeon “Nocona” users do not forget to add the optional Nocona hardware (part AP-NC604) when you purchase your second Apogee water-block. In effect, while this hardware is included in this kit, it is not included when the Apogee water-block is sold separately. Cool the VGA memory with the MCW-Ramcool Go to: http://www.swiftech.
