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:

Carefully read the manual before beginning with the installation

process.

The EK Fittings require only a small amount of force to screw

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

rubber O-ring gaskets.

The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended

for liquid cooling systems, and mandatory for nickel-plated

water blocks!

Do not use pure distilled water! For best results EK recommends

the use of EK-CryoFuel coolants.

Make sure to thoroughly bleed air out of your water block, or

you will not reach optimal performance.

Applying thermal compound: Once clean, apply a line of Thermal

Compound on one edge of the IHS and use a credit card or similar to

spread it evenly.

The layer of Thermal Compound must be thin and even in thickness

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 of 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 the eventuality that coolant leaks,

ﬁx the issue and repeat the testing process. Ensure that all hardware is

dry before the system is powered on in order to prevent any damage.

TESTING THE LOOP

In case you need assistance or wish to order spare parts or a new

mounting mechanism, please contact:

For spare parts orders, refer to the page with “TECHNICAL

SPECIFICATIONS AND WATER BLOCK PARTS” where you can ﬁnd
