assumes no liability whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of
these products, nor their installation. The following instructions are
subject to change without notice. Please visit our web site at www.

on the back of the box.
Before you start using this product please follow these basic guidelines:
Please carefully read the manual thoroughly before beginning
with the installation process!
Please remove your motherboard from the computer to assure
safest mounting process in order to prevent any possible
damages to your CPU and/or motherboard’s circuit board (PCB).
The EK- Fittings require only a small amount of force to screw
them firmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured by the
rubber o-ring gaskets.
The use of quality, market proved corrosion inhibiting coolants
is always strongly recommended for any liquid cooling system.
