All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

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

Carefully read the manual before beginning with the

installation process.

Remove your graphics card from the computer for the safest

mounting process to prevent any possible damage to your

GPU or its circuit board (PCB).

EK Fittings require only a small amount of force to screw

them ﬁrmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured with the

rubber O-ring gaskets.

The use of quality market-proven corrosion-inhibiting

coolants is always strongly recommended for any liquid

cooling system.

Do not use pure distilled water as a cooling liquid! For best

results, EK recommends the use of EK-CryoFuel Coolants.

Make sure to bleed air out of your water block thoroughly in

order to reach optimal performance.

PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD

STEP 1

REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER

Place your graphics card on the ﬂat surface and carefully remove

the stock cooler. Do not forget to unplug all the LED and fan

connectors. Pay attention to the following steps in order to install

the EK-Pro GPU WB RTX 30x0 water block onto the graphics card.

STEP 2

CLEANING THE PCB

Wipe off the remains of the original thermal compound using a

nonabrasive cloth or Q-tip, as shown in the sample image, until the

components and circuit board are completely clean. EK recommends

the use of denatured alcohol for removing TIM leftovers. After that,

remove all remaining stock thermal pads from the PCB.

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS

Your GPU water block comes with un-cuted thermal pads to cover all

the VRM components, such as COILs, MOSFETs, and drivers. Please

use 1.0mm thick thermal pads which should be placed on the PCB,

as illustrated below. EK made sure to provide you with more than an

adequate quantity of thermal pads to complete this Step.

You must remove the protective foil from both sides of the

thermal pad before installation.

Thermal Pad F 1.0 mm

Thermal Grease

STEP 1

Apply the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease (thermal

compound) on the GPU heat spreader – IHS – as shown in the

image. The layer of the thermal compound must be thin and even

over the entire surface of the IHS.

The excessive or uneven application of thermal grease

may lead to poor performance!

STEP 1

APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

For this Step, you will need:

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

STEP 1

PLACING THE BLOCK ON THE GRAPHICS CARD

This procedure is the same for all full-cover water blocks. Carefully

position the water block with preinstalled standoffs on the graphics

card. During this process, make sure you have aligned mounting

holes of the PCB with holes of the water block.

Pay attention not to use too much force when pressing

the block down to the PCB since chip dies are prone

to cracking.

STEP 1

STEP 2

Make sure that three (3) the self-adhesive M2,5 plastic washers are

in place as shown in picture.

Pay attention to the front area, where I/O ports are, those

metal springs may get in the way when inserting, holes on

PCB and block needs to be perfectly aligned!

M2.5 PVC WASHER

STEP 2

To mount the graphics card onto the waterblock, stock cross

backplate needs to be use. Attach it with ﬁve (5) M2.5 Washers and

M2.5 X 4 AX1 screws.

STEP 3

Install 1.0mm thick thermal pads on the PCB, as illustrated below

to ensure better connection between graphic card and backplate.

EK made sure to provide you with more than an adequate quantity

of thermal pads to complete this Step.
