It will make things easier in the long run This manual covers several versions of the RayStorm kit, so some steps may not be relevant to your kit. Wether you're using the D5 or X20 750 pump, a 120mm or 140mm radiator, the installation process is basically the same. - Page 4 Preparing Intel Socket 2011 1.

If you're using barbed fittings, first hand tighten the 4. - Page 6 Layout and Tubing Routing Planning the layout of the watercooling loop is the most important part of the installation. It's worth spending some time here to work out the easiest route to connect the block, pump and radiator. Before you start cutting the tubing to size you should place the components into the best position in your case and when you're happy with the layout, measure and cut the tubing.
- Page 7 Internal Radiator Layout Ideally your case will have room to install the radiator internally. This could be at the top, bottom or front of the case. The air should always flow out of the case. Mounting the radiator internally won't give the best performance, but it's the neatest solution and we highly recommend using it where possible.
- Page 8 Cutting the Tubing Cutting the Tubing When you cut the tubing it's very important to get a straight clean cut. If you the cut is rough or uneven then it could stop the tubing sealing and cause a leak. You might find it useful to buy a hose cutter instead of using scissors.

Q. Can I use tap water? A. Do not use tap water as it contains many impurities. You should use a premixed coolant like XSPC EC6, which will provide protection against corrosion and biological growth. Q. I have heard you can use a silver coil and de-ionized water instead of premixed coolant. - Page 17 Notes Page 16/16...
