INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a Swiftech™ H20-APEX 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. 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. Whenever possible, performance oriented users will typically want to route the radiator discharge(s) tube(s) to the inlet of the CPU cooler, since the fluid exiting the radiators is always the coolest.
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.
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. You can cut two small pieces of the provided PVC tubing and install these to the radiator hose barbs, then temporarily mount the radiator assembly onto the back-plate.

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. RE-INSTALLING THE MOTHERBOARD Now that the APOGEE water-block is securely fastened to the motherboard, go-ahead and install the motherboard into the chassis, following the instructions provided in your motherboard installation guide. 4. PUMP INSTALLATION General Use The MCP655-B 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.

5. 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.
6. 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. This is a fairly secure mount, as we use extra strong Velcro.

13 14 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. The reservoir will quickly (within 1 second) empty itself.
7. 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.
