INSTALLING THE RADIATOR AND FANS
OPTION #1:
INSTALLING THE RADIATOR AND FANS
STEP 1
Install the fans on the radiator.
Ideally, the radiator should either:
A)
receive the coldest air possible
(by placing the radiator
on the air inlet) or
B)
serve as an overall hot air exhaust
(by placing the
radiator on the exhaust).
The latter results in the overall decrease of temperature
throughout the entire computer chassis but also leads to
slightly higher liquid temperatures. A reversed air flow
is viable option but one should always strive to achieve
unidirectional flow of air throughout the chassis.
Take the four UNC 6-32x30mm screws for each fan and screw them in.
Use enclosed Allen key to tighten the screws in the clockwise direction.
STEP 2
Prepare your suitably-sized PC chassis for installation of radiator
unit. The position of the unit in the chassis depends on the size, fan
mounting holes, and the hardware you have installed. You must
make sure that the unit fits into the chassis. Usually, the chassis have
standard fan mounting holes pre-drilled so you should look for holes
with the spacing of 105mm (a standard computer cooling 120mm
fan) or 125mm (for 140mm cooling fan).
