REMOVING THE EXPANSION BALLOON
Please remove the expansion bal-
loon from your EK-MLC Phoenix and
GPU/CPU water blocks; it is recom-
mended that you do this before in-
stalling the units into your chassis, to
prevent any coolant spillage on your
PC components.
STEP 1:
Rotate your Phoenix unit so that ex-
pansion balloon is facing upwards as
shown in the picture to remove any
potential air bubbles and to prevent
any unnecessary coolant spillage.
STEP 2:
Firstly, have some paper tissues or
a towel ready, because you may spill
some coolant during the balloon re-
moval. Grab the braided tube just be-
low the QDC system and wrap it with a
paper tissue or a towel. Disconnect the
expansion balloon installed on your
EK-MLC Phoenix using the QDC. First
you need to press the button on the
QDC to release the mechanism which
holds it together. After that you should
be able to gently pull the expansion
balloon away from the unit.
Repeat the process with your GPU
and CPU water blocks.
