CPU Water Block AM5

Please note the installation of the product is intended to be undertaken

by an adequately trained and experienced person. You are installing the

product at your own risk. If you are not properly trained or experienced

or feel unsure about the installation procedure, please refrain from

installing the product yourself and contact our tech support for

assistance. We disclaim our liability for any damages to the product as

well as incidental, consequential, or indirect damages incurred due to

improper or inappropriate installation.

Before you start using this product, please follow these basic guidelines:

Please read the manual carefully before starting the

installation process.

Please remove your graphics card from the computer

to ensure the safest mounting process and prevent any

possible damage to your GPU and/or graphics card circuit

board (PCB).

The EK-HFB and EK-ACF type ﬁttings require only a small

amount of force to screw them ﬁrmly in place since the

rubber O-ring gaskets ensure the liquid seal.

The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always

recommended for any liquid cooling system.

Do not use pure distilled water. For best results, EK

recommends the use of EK-CryoFuel coolants.

Make sure to bleed the air from your water block thoroughly,

or you will not reach optimal performance.

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

STEP 1

CLEANING THE CPU

Wipe the CPU’s contact surface (by using non–abrasive cloth or

Q-tip).

STEP 2

THERMAL COMPOUND APLICATION

Applying thermal compound: on a clean IHS, apply a line of thermal

compound and spread it over the whole CPU heat spreader (IHS)

with a credit card or equivalent.

The layer of the thermal compound must be thin and even in thickness

through the whole surface of the IHS. A too-thick application could

lead to poor performance.

STEP 2

IHS

NON-ABRASIVE CLOTH

Thermal Grease

STEP 3

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK ASSEMBLY

Before proceeding with the installation, it is mandatory to

remove the protective foil from the backside of the water

block. The CPU should be attached to the processor

carrier before you start this step. The carrier typically

comes with the server system or motherboard.

When installing the water block onto the CPU, position it

so that the EKWB logo is pointing toward the lower right

corner, to ensure optimal performance of the product.

Align the water block over the mounting screws on the AM5

motherboard. Make sure the processor is oriented correctly, aligning

the PIN 1 corners on the socket.

Next, use a 2.5 mm Allen key to tighten the bolts until you feel a

sharp increase in resistance.

It is recommended to remove the motherboard from the

PC chassis before proceeding with the installation of

the processor and water block assembly because of the

space constraints of different computer cases.

The installation of the CPU water block is now complete.

STEP 4

INSTALLING THE FITTINGS

Carefully identify the direction of the ﬂow in your circuit. For the

non-rack version, EK recommends the use of EK-HFB 10 mm barb

ﬁttings and EK-Tube ZMT 10/16 mm Matte Black tubing. For the rack

version, EK-HFB Fitting 6 mm G1/8 and EK-Tube ZMT 6/9mm Matte

Black tubing is recommended.

With EK-Pro CPU non-rack water blocks, it is mandatory to use the

port in the center of the water block as the inlet port. For the rack

version, the inlet port is on the right on both sides. Mixing the ports

may result in lesser thermal performance of the water block.
