4/ Final Installation; 5/ Electrical Connections And Product Usage - swiftech H20-120 COMPACT Guide D'installation

4/ FINAL INSTALLATION

1. Apply the provided Arctic Céramique™
thermal grease at the center of the CPU as
shown above.
2. Fasten the radiator to the fan by tightening
all four screws.
3. Peel-off the protective plastic film from the
Apogee™ Drive copper base plate, and wipe-
off the copper with alcohol or with electronics
degreaser.

5/ ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND PRODUCT USAGE

Apogee™ Drive connections
•
Power: connect
connector to your power supply.
•
RPM sensor: connect the 3-pin single
wire connector to the motherboard
CPU fan header.
Fan connections
•
For 12V fan operations simply connect the 3-pin fan connector to a motherboard fan header.
•
For 7V fan operations connect the provided 12 to 7 volt adapter to the fan, and then connect
the adapter to a motherboard fan header.
Note: many modern motherboards now have the ability to adjust the fan speed via the
motherboard BIOS, or under windows (nVidia® nTune for example). If you own such motherboard,
there is no need to use the 12 to 7 volt adapter.
Which one to choose? 12v or 7v?
Please refer to the O/C Meter table
The graduated quadrant indicates the level of Overclock: from zero for stock CPU speed, to 9 for
Extreme Overclock. The red-shaded area indicates the level that can be attained depending on
system configuration.
The noise symbols reflect the speed of the fan.

4. Fasten the Apogee™ Drive to the processor
by tightening all four screws progressively and
in a cross pattern until you reach a firm positive
lock. Cycle thru the four screws twice to make
sure that you have equal tension on all four.
Critical recommendation:
Connecting the pump RPM sensor to the CPU fan
header is critical in order to monitor the pump. All
modern motherboards have safety features that
you can enable in the BIOS that will shut down the
power in the event of a CPU fan failure or in this
case in the event of a pump malfunction.
