- Page 7 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 8 Pump/Reservoir Outlet The inlet and outlet are not marked on the pump, so follow the photos below. Some pump/reservoirs will have multiple inlets. Choose which inlet port is most suitable for your system and use the G1/4” plug to block the unused port. D5 Bay X2O 750 Bay Twin D5 Bay...
- Page 9 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 10 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.

Page 18: Maintenance
Maintenance If installed correctly, the watercooling kit requires very little maintenance. In the first week of use we highly recommend checking for leaks on a regular basis and monitoring the coolant level. Long term we recommend the following: - Clean dust from the radiator every 12 months - Change the coolant every 18-24 months - Check the tubing for kinks If you experience increased temperatures or increased noise you should check the coolant level and check for kinks in... -

Q. Can I use tap water? A. Do not use tap water as it contains many impurities. You should use a coolant like XSPC EC6, or ECX, 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 20 www.xs-pc.com/support...
