  • Page 17: Installing The Radiator And Fans

    INSTALLING THE RADIATOR AND FANS Before positioning the fans on the radiator, decide if you want them to serve as the hot air exhaust (Method 1 - when fans are placed on M4 x 30 PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW the exhaust) or to receive the coldest air possible (Method 2 - when they’re placed on the air inlet).
  • Page 18 STEP 3 Prepare your suitably-sized PC chassis for the installation of the radiator unit. The position of the unit in the chassis depends on its size, fan mounting holes, and the hardware that is installed. You must make sure the unit fits into the case. Usually, cases already have standard pre-drilled fan-mounting holes, and you should look for those with a spacing of 105mm (for standard 120mm computer cooling fans) or 125mm (for 140mm cooling fans).
  • Page 19 Make sure to close the remaining ports. Tighten the fitting barbs in the clockwise direction. The installation of the radiator and fans is now complete. OPTIONAL: EK-Quantum Power Kit also comes with two pieces of EK-Torque 90˚ Angled Fittings, which can be installed on the Pump-Reservoir Combo unit, CPU unit, or Radiator.

  • Page 31: 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 32 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.

  • Page 33: Draining The Loop

    DRAINING THE LOOP STEP 1 Before disassembling the water cooling loop, it is mandatory to turn off your computer and pull the power cord from the socket. Prepare some paper towels and stack them over the hardware. Unscrew the four (4) M4 nuts securing the EK-Loop Uni Pump Reservoir Bracket to the PC chassis.

  • Page 34: System Expansion Possibilities

    SYSTEM EXPANSION POSSIBILITIES The best part of having a custom water-cooling loop is that the system can be expanded, and its cooling capacity extended almost without limitations. For maximum performance, the rule of thumb is to use at least one 120mm radiator (section) per each water- cooled component plus one additional radiator.
  • Page 35 STEP 2 Measure the length of the tube that will connect the CPU to the GPU water block, and the GPU water block to the pump-reservoir unit. You can use the EK-Loop Soft Tube Cutter or a pair of scissors to cut the tube. You may also need additional tubing to connect the water block.
