Caution: Prior to the first commissioning of the graphics card with installed back plate, the distances between
soldering lugs and back plate should be inspected visually. The soldering lugs of the electronic components may
not touch the back plate. This could result in an electrical short circuit that would damage the hardware. The
distance is generally sufficiently dimensioned. Production may however cause soldering lugs that are too long on
a few graphics cards. In this case, the card must not be commissioned with an installed back plate. If the card is
nevertheless commissioned, then this will be at one’s own risk.
4. Installation and leak test
After the installation, a check and test run must be performed! The coolers are constructed on the reference
design, still, all sections of the board have to be checked for possible contact to the cooler. In addition, the contact
of the GPU to the cooler must be checked along with the bending of the board. A slight bending of the board is
normal.
A leak test should preferably be performed outside of the computer. If this is not possible, the hardware may not
be turned on during the test run!
Once all of the cooler elements were tested, the computer can be put into operation. Check the temperature of
the GPU immediately after the start!
5. General information
The HEATKILLER® GPU-X³ GTX570 V2 LT does not have a defined input and output. The cooling medium can
stream in or out on both sides.
Under normal circumstances it is not necessary to open the cooler. If you still want
to do so, please use a corresponding tool for Allen screws in industrial quality.
We recommend using demineralised or deionised water (distilled water) as cooling medium. To prevent the build-
up of algae, use common citric acid, which reliably prevents the spread of algae?
The cooler is fully SLI compatible. To set up a dual or triple SLI system, we offer special dual and triple links
which allow you to easily connect the coolers.
