  1. The Seal String is applied along the perimeter of the evaporator’s plastic casing.


  2. The evaporator is installed on the CPU kit.


  3. The evaporator is secured with two hex-headed screws.


  4. The wire from the heater element on the mainboard’s reverse side, the cable from the Power button, a Molex connector from the PSU are all attached to the Prometeia. The Prometeia’s USB cable is plugged into a USB header on the mainboard.
  5. Power up!

The whole procedure will keep a prepared man busy for about 10 minutes. And frankly speaking, it is not much harder than installing some air coolers (like ASUS StarIce or Scythe NCU-2005, for example).

When you turn the system on, the compressor begins to cool the gas (R404a) to the necessary temperature. The computer starts up at -33C° evaporation temperature by default. In average, the computer begins to work in about 2 minutes after you push down the Power button.

When the PC is shut down or when there’s no voltage from the computer’s PSU, the compressor halts in about 5 seconds. We checked out “hot unplugging” (by disconnecting the power cord during work) a few times and had no problems, but we do not recommend you to repeat our experiments! In any case, when the system is shut down, the restart delay timer does not allow you to turn it on sooner than after 120 seconds – this measure ensures more or less normal operating conditions for the compressor.
