Installation:

   The GPU-180-V06 mounted easily using two half inch screws with tight rubber washers to hold them in place while the block is placed on the chipset which then gets two more thumb bolts. The Koolance bracket easily adjusts to center the end screw holes over the bolt for when you tighten the thumb bolts. The black washers keep the screw from wobbling about which made the installation safe and quick.

Moving the GPU-180-L06 on to the video card's GPU isn't so easy if the card is already in the graphics slot. It also saved the aluminum memory heat sinks which kept getting knocked off with any slips of the water block. It seemed easier to carefully place the video card flat and then mount the L06 block. The block mounted in the same way the V06 did. Two small screws slipped through the motherboard followed by two black washers sliding down snuggly against the motherboard. This held the screws steady while centering the Koolance bracket and water block. A couple of turns to each thumb bolt alternating each side, kept the block stable and centered. It also prevents you from accidentally over tightening, causing the block to tilt and possibly damage the corners of the GPU processor. Once the block was secured, the video card was then installed on the motherboard.

The RP-1000SL installed like any other ROM drive or component, by simply sliding in to place. The screws weren't installed just yet as the reservoir still needed filling. First the tubing was connected to the IO back plate with the quick connectors and to the back of the pump. Two tubes with wire coils inside are meant to run from the EHX radiator to the IO back plate and connected with the quick connectors included. Now that the tubing was all connected, the system just needs primed and filled.

Rear of Unit

All of the water block's sensor wires were plugged in to the back of the RP-1000 in the three slots marked, Temp 1,2, and 3. All you have to keep track of now is which one is connected to which water block when checking the reported temperatures. The ATX 4-pin IDE power connector was also plugged in which powers the RP-1000 completely. After sliding the unit back out about half way, it was then easy to remove the reservoir screw at which point it was filled.

Koolance provides a small wire which allows you to connect the green number 4 and black number 6 pins of your ATX power supply that allows you to turn the power rails on and off with a flick of the PSU's switch. With the reservoir already filled, the system was turned on which was followed by a quick flush of water in to the tubes. The reservoir was filled and powered repeatedly till the system could hold no more water. It's also normal to see air bubbles which will start to disappear as you let the system finally run.
