Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 4090 D-RGB

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.

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).

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! To reach optimal performance, make sure to

thoroughly bleed the air out of your water block!

Important! Before starting, make sure to have a clean, ﬂat

surface to work on. It is recommended to put foam or soft

material to lay the graphics card on.

STEP 1

First, remove eight (8) screws from the backside of the Stock cooler

(using Phillips head screwdriver).

STEP 2

Unscrew three (3) screws from the I/O Bracket (using Phillips head

screwdriver). Unplug the connectors in order to remove the stock

cover from the GPU PCB.

STEP 1

STEP 2

PREPARING THE WATER BLOCK FOR INSTALLATION

STEP 1

Unscrew seven (7) Screws AX1 M2.5 x 8 mm. Remove the backplate

together with the Screws and backplate standoffs. Standoffs must stay

on Screws AX1 M2.5 x 8 mm. Remove the PCB cardboard. Save the

removed parts for later steps.

Do not remove standoffs from screws! In case the

standoff detaches from the screw, replace it with a

spare one. When replacing the standoff make sure

that you screw it on the AX1 M2.5 x 8 screws. Do not

push the standoff onto the screw AX1 M2.5 x 8 mm.
