INSTALLING THE BACKPLATE

STEP 1

PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD

First, complete the installation of your EK-Quantum Vector RX

6700XT water block according to its installation manual.

In case the water block is already installed, remove the seven (7) AX1

screws and their PVC washers, as shown in the image.

STEP 2

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS

Your backplate comes with thermal pads that have to be cut into

smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components. EK made sure to

provide you with more than an adequate quantity of thermal pads to

complete this Step.

CAUTION: You must remove the protective foil from both

sides of the thermal pad before installation.

Replacement thermal pads:

2x Thermal PAD G 1.0 mm - (120 x 24 mm)– EAN: 3830046996770

2x Thermal PAD G 1.5 mm - (120 x 24 mm) - EAN: 3830046996787

TESTING THE LOOP

To ensure the installation of EK components was successful, we

recommend you perform a 24-hour leak test.

When your loop is complete and ﬁlled with coolant, connect the pump

to a PSU outside your system. Do not connect power to any of the other

components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump run continuously.

Inspect all parts of the loop, and in case the coolant leaks, ﬁx the issue

and repeat the testing process. To prevent possible damage, please

ensure that all hardware is dry before the system is powered on.

WARRANTY

Our products are warranted against defects of materials and quality

for a period of 24 months, starting with the date of delivery to the

end-user. During this period, products will be repaired or have parts

replaced at our discretion, provided that 1) the product is returned

to the agent from whom it was purchased; 2) the product has been

purchased by the end-user and has not been used for commercial

purposes; 3) the product has not been misused, handled carelessly,

or used in a manner other than the way described in the instructions

manual. This warranty does not confer rights other than those

expressly set out above and does not cover any claims for

consequential loss or damage. This warranty is offered as an extra

beneﬁt and does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. This

warranty is voided if the product comes in contact with aggressive

UV additives or other improper liquids. EK water blocks are sealed

with a warranty-voiding circular label, proving the water block has

withstood a pressure leak test. Removing the label will void the

leak-free guarantee, but not the guarantee on the product itself.

Any other RMA issues can be reported to EK Customer Support at

www.ekwb.com/support for further analysis.
