CONNECTING THE TUBING
If you are adding an additional unit to your water cooling
loop, please proceed to chapter
System Expansion
Possibilities.
STEP 1
In order to successfully route your tubing, please check the liquid
cooling scheme.
The water block should receive the coldest fluid possible. Therefore,
EK recommends you connect the radiator’s outlet port with the
water block’s inlet port. Even though this is the best practice, it is
not mandatory.
STEP 2
Try to visualize the tube route and then measure its distance by trying
to fit it into the chassis. Mark the required length with a felt-tip pen.
Before you make the first cut, keep in mind that it’s best to have 2–3
cm in tube length to spare. You can always shorten the tube afterward.
You may use the enclosed Soft Tube Cutter to cut the tubes.
For the coolant to flow without restriction, make sure the
tube is not bent or twisted.
