Asetek WaterChill Antarctica Water Cooling Kit

Package Contents:

There are lots of parts included in their kits, however the manuals (printed in several languages) list all the parts that should be included, so it is worth double checking before installation that nothing is missing. Depending on the parts ordered, one or more (in my case, four) manuals are included, detailing the specifics and installation of each components. The manuals themselves are very simple to follow, and clearly illustrate the steps required to install each component of the kit.

In the picture below are most of the basic accessories with the WaterChill Antarctica kit. There are several manuals, screws, mounting brackets, suction cups, power cables, anti-algae solution, thermal compound, heat conduction pad (for the hard drive kit), and a psu jumper cable.

Plenty of 1/2" OD tubing is included, and if by some chance it isn't enough (or you re-do you system later), you can always purchase more at a local hardware store or various online PC modding shops. The reservoir (all with all of the components) utilize push-on fittings for easy installation and leak-free connections. As long as you cut the tubing square and insert it completely into the fittings, they should work flawlessly.

The pump included in the kit is a modified Hydor L30 II, which utilizes push-on fittings, and a custom power control unit. There is a bracket (in the picture of all the accessories above) which you mount the pump on, and also the reservoir, to keep these components together and compact. The power control unit is a key feature of the WaterChill setup, this is what will power on the pump when the rest of the system is powered on, and it will control the fan speeds. You can see from the picture that there is a 4-pin connector on the controller. You must plug in a 4-pin floppy power cable from the PSU. The radiator fans connect to the 3-pin fan header on the control unit. There is also a 7V / 12V jumper on the control unit which allows you to change the radiator fan's speed for performance or quieter operation.

The radiator provided in the kit accommodates dual 120mm fans, and utilizes the same push-on fittings as the rest of the kit. The fans are wired together and plug into the 3-pin header on the power control unit.
