INSTALLING THE PUMP/FAN/RADIATOR UNIT
STEP 1:
Mounting of the pump/fan/radiator unit requires special attention.
Please take the unit and find the enclosed standard fan mounting screws. You will need
4 screws for the 140mm and 120mm version, 8 screws for 240- and 280mm version
or 12 screws for 360mm version and a phillips-head screwdriver which is not enclosed
in the package.
STEP 2:
Prepare your suitably-sized PC chassis for installation of EK-MLC Phoenix.
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 stand-
ard fan mounting holes pre-drilled so you should look for holes with spacing of 105mm
(a standard computer 120mm cooling fan) or 125mm (for 140mm cooling fan).
Out-of-the box, the Phoenix is set to work in overall hot air exhaust (by plac-
ing the radiator on the exhaust) configuration. This results in overall decrease of
temperature throughout the entire computer chassis but also leads to slightly
higher liquid temperatures. A reversed air flow is aviable option but one should al-
ways strive to achieve unidirectional flow of air throughout the chassis. See page
28, chapter Frequently Asked Questions, on how to change fan orientation.
STEP 3:
When you have selected the mounting position within the chassis you must align the
Phoenix cooling fan mounting holes with the ones on the chassis.
Use enclosed self-tapping screws to firmly install the unit. Self-tapping screws require
more torque than threaded screws, but overall do not exaggerate with the force applied.
Check again that the unit isn’t touching the chassis anywhere except at the
mounting region. Some unwanted noise may occur if the vibrations are
transferred from the unit to the PC chassis.
