to the rest of your circuit. The cuts must be square as shown in
figure 1 or leaks may occur:
b. Install the provided plastic tube inserts at each end of the tubes,
as shown in figure 2: these inserts are absolutely imperative when
using any kind of soft tubing, such as vynil, ClearFlex, Taigon, etc...

c. Spread a little bit of grease or liquid soap
around the tubing. It helps pushing the tubes in,
particularly with Clearflex
tubing, which
features a very “sticky” surface.
d. Fully insert both tubes into the fittings. The tip of the plastic tube inserts should
be flush with the inlet and outlet openings, as shown in figure 4 above. Inserting the
tubes requires a firm push, accompanied by a twisting motion.

Install the 4 neoprene pads as shown figure 6.
This steps is only necessary if the processor core
is exposed. If the chipset features a heat
spreader (a large lid covering the entire area
of the chipset), then the neoprene pads MUST
not be installed.
Lightly coat the processor with the provided
thermal compound. Only a paper-thin coat is
necessary. It should be applied using preferably a
razor blade, or a credit card, held between thumb
and index at a 45-degree angle.
