IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE

Once the installation is completed, it is a recommended practice to

test the cooling circuit for leaks prior to powering up the computer.

We recommend a 24 hour leak test prior to powering up the

computer. Do not test the water block using city water pressure. This

will rupture the top of the housing and render the block unusable

(and will void your warranty). While all efforts have been made to

provide the most comprehensive tutorial possible, EK Water Blocks

assumes no liability expressed or implied for any consequential

damage(s) occurring to your equipment as a result of using EK Water

Blocks cooling products, either due to errors or omissions on our

part in the above instructions, or due to failure or defect in the EK

Water Blocks cooling products.

WARRANTY

Our products are warranted against defects in materials or

workmanship for a period of 24 months beginning from the date of

delivery to the ﬁnal user. During this period, products will be repaired

or have parts replaced at our discretion provided that: (I) the product

is returned to the agent from whom it was purchased; (II) the product

has been purchased by an end user and has not used for commercial

purposes; (III) the product has not been misused, handled carelessly,

or used in a manner other than in accordance with the instructions

provided describing its installation and proper use. This warranty does

not confer rights other than those expressly set out above and does

not cover any claims for consequential loss or damage. This warranty

is offered as an extra beneﬁt and does not affect your statutory rights

as a consumer. This warranty is voided if the product comes in contact

with aggressive UV additives or other improper liquids. EK blocks are

sealed with warranty void circular label, which proves that the block

has withstood a pressure leak test. Removing it will void leak-free

guarantee and not the guarantee on the product itself. Any other RMA

further analysis.
