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.
