Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing the Accelero Hybrid III-120.

We at ARCTIC work hard to push the boundaries in gaming further and

with the Accelero Hybrid III-120 we certainly do so. In order to be multi-

compatible, we cool the RAM through a back-plate and have several

VR cooling sets covering all high-end boards. This makes the

unparalleled water cooling performance available for everyone.

In order to assist you better, we launched a support platform for

Smartphones (support.arctic.ac).

I hope you enjoy this GPU cooler and we at ARCTIC look forward to

further enriching your life with our products. If you would like to share

Caution: Please ensure

that the heatsinks are not

in contact with any circuit

component as it may cause

a short circuit to your

Since the thermal adhesive can be applied once only,

fit the cooler to the card with the heatsinks accurately

positioned before you apply the thermal adhesive.

b. Air Exhaust

Choose air flow directionChoose air flow direction

a. Air Intake

For reference only

Your Accelero Hybrid is filled

with water, some air bubbles

are present in the circuit to

allow it to work properly.

Durin g t rans por tat ion, ai r

bubbles might find their way

to the water pump and while

functioning create hissing or

bubbling noise. These noise

will disappear quickly as the

air bubbles are pushed to the

radiator part.

When installing the Accelero

Hybrid, make sure that the

radiator is located higher

than the water pump. If any

hissing or bubbling noise, it

will quickly disappear after

running the cooler for few

minutes.

If your configuration requires

to have the radiator located

below the water pump, you

need t o e n s u r e t h a t t h e

tubing part of the radiator is

located at the bottom while

installed. Hissing or bubbling

noise wi ll take longer to

disappear than if the radiator

is above the card but will

ultimately disappear.

You can help the process by

p l a c i n g t e m p o r a r i l y t h e

ra dia tor abo ve the water

pump and run the cooler until

the noise disappears.
