Alphacool Cooling Components: Safety Information and Warranty

Safety Information

General Safety Precautions

• Not suitable for children under 6 years of age (contains small parts that may be swallowed).
• Do not operate cooling components without ensuring that coolant flows unrestricted. Insufficient coolant can lead to very hot parts and could cause burns.
• Coolers devoid of coolant can damage hardware. Always be sure to check your system often.
• Please note that no tools such as spanners, pliers or similar may be used to tighten the fittings! Fittings connected to plastic parts can be damaged if over tightened with tools! Cracks or other damage caused by this as well as damage caused by leaking coolant are not covered by the warranty!
• Only use fittings with a sealing O-ring! Due to the sealing ring, tightening by hand is enough! In exceptional cases, the manual will clearly point out when to use of tools!
• If not already done, please check the function of your hardware and the cooling system (tightness, pump function and fan). This will minimize the effort involved in finding possible sources of error. ALPHACOOL INTERNATIONAL GMBH does not assume the warranty of the manufacturer of the electronic parts and components. The cooling system is installed at your own risk.
• The screws should not be overtightened. If you have overtightened the screws, the retaining bolts may loosen, and the cooler will no longer be able to rest evenly on them.
• Fittings with a thread length of 8 mm may result lower flow rates.
• We recommend a leak test before mounting / installing the cooler. The water pressure in the water cooling circuit must not exceed 0.8 bar.
• Make sure that the cooler touches all components to be cooled with heat-conducting paste and / or heat-conducting pads.
• Use only distilled water with an anti-corrosion agent or a clear Alphacool liquid such as ALPHACOOL TEC PROTEC or APEX LIQUID. Damage caused by unsuitable coolant is not covered by the warranty!
• All components are designed for a maximum water and ambient temperature of 60°C. Using components at higher temperatures will void the warranty. Corresponding deviations can be found in the separate data sheets of the components.

Specified Normal Operation

ALPHACOOL INTERNATIONAL GMBH cooling components are only approved for cooling computer components. The warranty is void if the components are used in any other way.

The cooling circuit must be cleaned every 12 months. To do this, empty the entire water circuit completely and rinse it with distilled water. Then fill the system with a new liquid. Do not use any residues of the old fluid under any circumstances.
