EK-Velocity sTR4

CPU WATER BLOCK

This product is intended for installation only by expert users. Please

consult with a qualiﬁed technician for installation. Improper installation may

result in damage to your equipment. EK Water Blocks assumes no liability

whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products, nor their

installation. The following instructions are subject to change without

notice. Please visit our website at www.ekwb.com for updates. Before

installation of this product, please read important notice, disclosure, and

warranty conditions that are printed on the back of the box.

Before you start using this product, please follow these basic guidelines:

Please carefully read the manual before beginning the installation

process.

Please remove your graphics card from the computer to assure the

safest mounting process and prevent any possible damage to your

GPU and/or graphics card 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.

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

not reach optimal performance.

STEP 1

Cleaning the CPU: Wipe the CPU’s contact surface (by using non–

abrasive cloth or Q-tip, as shown on sample photo).

Applying thermal compound: EK recommends blob or line method

of applying the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm (1g) thermal compound

to the CPU heatspreader (IHS)

Applying thermal compound: On a clean IHS, apply a line of

thermal compound and spread it over the whole CPU heat spreader

(IHS) with a credit card or equivalent - see sample photo on left

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

STEP 3

Tighten the ﬁtting barbs in clockwise direction until the gasket underneath

is compressed.

The installation of the CPU water block is now complete.

With EK-Velocity series water blocks it is mandatory to use the port that

is nearest to the center of the water block as INLET port. Mixing the ports

may result in less than ideal thermal performance of the water block.

STEP 2

Align the water block properly on the motherboard, because the screws

are not positioned in a square pattern.

Before proceeding with the installation, it is mandatory

to remove the protective foil from the backside of the

water block.

Start fastening two mounting screws at a time, preferably in cross pattern

and do not tighten them fully until all of them are partially screwed in. Then

- using your ﬁngers only - screw in all four mounting screws until you reach

the end of the thread.
