STEP 15
Before installing any cables or further components, it is advised that you bleed
and inspect the cooling components. Fill the provided bottle with mixed coolant
and begin to fill the system using the top port on the outside of the chassis.
STEP 16
Install your PSU into the chassis and connect the supplied bridging plug. Use the
SATA to 3-pin adapter to power the pump and run it until the coolant level drops.
Refill the reservoir and repeat the process until all air is purged from the loop. This
process will be faster if the chassis is leaned over in different orientations and the
pump is cycled on and off.
Inspect all of the tubing and fittings before proceeding.
Do not run the pump without coolant! This will lead to premature failure as
the pump itself is lubricated and cooled by the coolant.
STEP 17
Remove the bridging plug and install any additional components you may have
such as drives or expansion cards. Connect all power, fan, pump, and D-RGB
cables to your motherboard using the provided splitters and extensions. All RGB
enabled devices are digital and should not be installed into 12V RGB connectors
as this will result in immediate damage. Pay attention to the marked orientation
on each and every connector.
EK advises that you connect the pump directly to your CPU FAN header and
set a static PWM speed between 60 and 100% if RPM control and monitoring
is desired. Otherwise, the supplied SATA power adapter will be suitable for
permanent use. The radiator fans may be configured dynamically or statically to
meet your expectations of thermal and acoustic performance.
