Quick Start Guide is a general installation guide and does not cover the specics of individual case or
radiator mounting.
CORSAIR recommends you thoroughly leak-test your custom cooling system for at least 24 hours to ensure
that the system is securely sealed and operating reliably. CORSAIR warranty does not cover any hardware
damage resulting from poorly executed, improper and otherwise hasty assembly of your custom water-
cooling system.
Disassembly of CORSAIR HYDRO X products is highly discouraged due to complex design of components.
Such action may result in irreparable mechanical, electrical or chemical damage that may void the warranty.
For an exact and up-to-date product compatibility list, please refer to CORSAIR website.
Precaution: Take care to discharge any electrostatic charges.
