I experienced no problems installing either of the three blocks and it is clear that Asetek has done a great deal to make for an easy installation.

I did not install the radiator in my case, as I do not have any tools handy for case modding. However, there is more than enough room for the radiator in my Chieftec case - I just need to cut a hole in the top first.

As mentioned before, the tubing with this kit is very hard which makes it a bit difficult to work with. However, using hard tubing makes the use of quick connects possible, so overall I don't mind the hard tubing - mainly because I like the quick connects very much! You cut the tube in pieces long enough to connect all the parts without tension. After installing all components including the tube, it is time to fill the kit with water. I set the kit for the following flow path:

Pump -> Radiator -> CPU -> Chipset -> VGA -> Reservoir -> Pump

This flow path allows for cool water from the radiator to be sent to the CPU block first, where cool water is of highest priority.

The installed WaterChill kit

Asetek include a small piece of wire to power up the power supply without installing the motherboard - you use this when filling the system with water. Fill the reservoir and wait for the water to go into the system. Refill the reservoir as long as you have to until the system is filled.

When the system is free of bubbles and air pockets the installation is complete.
