Remove the peel-off paper back from the motherboard gasket, and
install it as shown Figure 9. The sticky side should be towards the
motherboard.

Install the water-block assembly onto your processor, as shown on
figure 10.
Gradually tighten the screws in a crisscross pattern until you feel that
they reach the bottom of the standoff. A “finger-tight” lock is sufficient.
Conversely, adjustments such as tightening the screws only partially are
strictly prohibited
. Such attempts will result in improper contact between
the CPU core and the heat sink, and result in CPU overheating.
To further prevent condensation to occur behind the motherboard, a
neoprene sticker is provided with your water-block accessories. Apply it
to the back of the motherboard, behind the processor.
CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Never run a thermoelectric module without coolant
flowing into the circuit. This will result in
catastrophic failure of the cooling circuit, and may
cause any/all of the following:
! tubing to burst open due to coolant
overheating
! permanent failure of the Peltier module
! permanent damage to the CPU and/or
motherboard due to excess heat
It is highly recommended to dedicate the auxiliary power supply
for the thermoelectric module to the computer power-supply, so
that the Peltier module will never run by itself without circulating
coolant. For this purpose, we recommend the following
accessory, available in our online shopping cart:
PRS Kit II,
Includes:
Relay Switch Circuit board AC socket, S/S socket cover, power cord
This relay switch is rated for
110 to 220~240 volts and up to 50A
inrush
current. It is suitable for use with the S-320-12 Meanwell
power supply recommended in paragraph 3, page 4.
If you run your computer unattended for extended periods of
time, it is also a good practice to setup an alarm temperature,
which will shut down the computer in case the CPU overheats.
Such alarm/shut down
p
rocess should be tested as functional.
