MCW5000-64™ water-block 
installation diagram

 

 
Method 1:  
 

The MCW5000-64 water-block bolts 
onto AMD’s validated plastic retention 
frame with two screw spring 
assemblies. Please use the retention 
frame provided by your motherboard 
vendor. Remove the two existing 
screws that hold the frame in place, 
place the water-block assembly onto 
the CPU, and use these two holes to 
bolt down the spring assemblies, as 
shown in figure 6, page 2. Each spring 
assembly features an aluminum 
spacer acting as a tension limiter. It’s 
main purpose is to guarantee that 
each springs is compressed to the 
exact same amount of tension (35lbs 
each).
