Page 47: Filling The System For The First Time
FILLING THE SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME STEP 1 Preparing the Cooling Liquid. The coolant comes in the concentrated form. To prepare the cooling liquid, you must take 100mL of clear coolant concentrate (comes Distilled enclosed with the Kit) and mix it with 900mL of distilled water. Water Make sure you mix it properly before pouring it into your water cooling loop. - Page 48 STEP 4 When you turn on the power supply, the coolant should be pushed from the reservoir toward other water cooling components. Therefore, you have to fill the coolant continuously while the pump is running. Alternatively, you can cycle the power supply by turning it ON and OFF every few seconds to speed up the air bleeding process.
