INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a Swiftech™ H20-220 APEX “Ultra Plus” liquid cooling system! This kit has been designed to facilitate the installation of the components with a minimum of case modifications. 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.
inside your chassis. Devices: Connect: Devices: Connect: Devices: Connect: From a performance standpoint there is very little performance to be gained from strictly controlling the component sequence: the maximum delta T (difference in temperature) between any two points of the liquid cooling circuit does not exceed 1ºC.
1. MCR220 RADIATOR INSTALLATION Preamble: The MCR220 dual 120mm radiator ships with the fans and the Radbox chassis already pre-assembled to the radiator. It is assumed in effect that users will take advantage of our Radbox concept (external radiator installation) due to the benefits it provides and ease of installation. In such context, the following installation guide describes this type of installation.
Use these to secure the screws and spacers to the computer back-panel. This will hold the screws in place while you adjust the Radbox backplate. Once satisfied with the position, bolt down the Radbox back-plate with the provided nylon nuts. Next, you will need to mark the location of the holes that must be drilled to allow routing of the tubes through the computer back-panel.

The Apogee GT 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 GT with AM2 socket.
3. MCW30 CHIPSET COOLER INSTALLATION Preamble The MCW30 is shipped pre-assembled for installation with AMD compatible motherboards. If you own an AMD compatible motherboard, simply follow the steps listed below. If you own an Intel compatible motherboard you can either leave the AMD brackets providing that they do not interfere with components on your motherboard, or you can remove them. If you do remove the brackets, please use the provided 4-40 x 5/16” socket screws to reassemble the water-block.

Peel-off the protection paper from the MC14 Ramsink 2. Firmly press the Ramsink onto the BGA module for 5 to 10 seconds. Installation is complete. Please check the "installation issues" note below before you install the two Ramsinks located directly below the inlet and outlet barb fittings of the MCW60 water-block.
General Use The MCP655 pump is a magnetically driven centrifugal pump featuring a 12 V DC motor. It requires no maintenance when used with demineralized water and the appropriate anti-fungal additives. We recommend using 5% Swiftech’s HydrX as an additive. The pump is designed to be connected to your computer power supply using the standard Molex 4 pin connectors. The MCP655 pump is neither submersible, nor selfpriming.

7. PREPARING THE TUBING Preamble: Your kit comes with 7/16” ID (5/8” OD) tubing. This type of tubing was specifically selected following suggestions made by our enthusiast users because it offers very low flow restriction, similar to that of true ½” ID tubing, without the bulk of true ½” (which is ¾” OD and therefore hard to work with). This tubing will fit easily onto standard ½” barbs EXCEPT for the MCP655 pump.
8. MCRES-MICRO RESERVOIR INSTALLATION ITEM NO. PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION QTY.
• Fastening the device to the case: two mounting methods can be used • • Permanent mount with the provided mounting hardware as shown in figure 1. Three holes will need to be drilled for a permanent mount. Simply use the reservoir as a template to mark the hole locations, and use a 0.150” (4mm) drill bit to drill the holes. Make sure to clean up any metal shavings from the case once you are done. Easy mount, with the provided Velcro strips.

You can also visit this link for further information: http://www.directron.com/2powersupplies.html Filling-up the circuit • Simply pour the coolant that you prepared into the reservoir – carefully to avoid spills, allowing the circuit to fill-up by simple gravity. Note: for the gravity to take effect the reservoir should be placed or held at the highest point of the cooling circuit. Once the reservoir is full, seal the fill port back with its cap in order to avoid any spills, and start-up the pump.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING Air keeps circulating into the circuit, long after the pump has primed: o There is a significant pocket of air trapped into the circuit. In most cases this will be due to the fact that the radiator and or the water-block where installed upside down. Temporarily dismount the device and re-orient right side-up until all the air has escaped back into the circuit. o The fluid level is too low: top-off the reservoir to the appropriate level.
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.
