We put the system back on it's feet and well that was almost it.

Beneath the graphics card you see a little green connector. That's the "power pack" The pump station is connected directly to the power pack. Simply connect it to a free molex connector and you can power on your system.

Mind you that at least once before enabling your system you should have checked if the pump is working and the loop is not leaking. Simply use the supplied PSU ATX connector with pin 13/14 wired. You can now enable your PSU without enabling your mainboard. The cooler can be tested this way without the risk of frying your processor.

In our case it all worked perfectly fine.

Water-cooling, next to being a fantastic cooling and silent solution, also gives the x-factor jitters. But a little cold-cathode lighting or neon, or even better a backlight in there and magic will start happening.
