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.

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
