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:

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!

STEP 1

Using a Philips-head screwdriver, unscrew marked screws to detach

the stock cooler and retention bracket from the GPU PCB. After

removing, carefully unplug all the LEDs and FANs cables.

For this step, you will need:

STEP 2

STEP 2

From the front side of the GPU PCB, additional two (2) screws must

be unscrewed to remove the I/O Bracket from the GPU PCB. Lastly,

unscrew four (4) backplate screws. Remove the Backplate.

Save the I/O Bracket for later use.

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS

STEP 1

The GPU water block comes with thermal pads that have to be cut

into smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components, such as COILs,

MOSFETs, and drivers.

Remove the protective foil from both sides of the thermal

pad before installation.
