INSTALLATION TIPS FOR NOVICES
1. To lower the shipping cost, we have decided to enclose the coolant
concentrate only. Therefore, you need to provide 1 liter (1L) of
distilled water. You can find it at every gas station or supermarket.
2. Never run this system on tap water and always use the
enclosed cooling concentrate in the right ratio.
3. Never use alcohol, alcohol derivatives, or alcohol-based
solvents in the system. Using alcohol might result in permanent
damage to water cooling KIT components, especially acrylic
parts of the system.
4. It is best practice to do a proper 24-hour leak test before using
your computer.
5. If you spot any leaks, turn off the power immediately.
6. Optimize tube length to prevent excessive bending and kinking
of the tubing.
7. Never let your pump run dry. If this is happening for a prolonged
period, you risk destroying the water pump’s bearing, ultimately
rendering the pump useless.
8. You are encouraged to periodically clean the radiator assembly as
it will collect dust over time. It’s best to be done with a soft wide-tip
brush and a vacuum cleaner. See chapter Cleaning Guide.
