GENERAL INFORMATION ON WATER BLOCK COMPATIBILITY

This CPU liquid cooling unit is

pre-assembled for use with modern

Intel desktop socket type mother-

boards. By default (out of the box)

this water block supports the follow-

ing CPU sockets:

- Intel® Socket LGA-115x

- Intel® Socket LGA-2011(-3)

This product is also fully compatible with Intel® LGA-775, LGA-1366 and

AMD® AMx/FMx sockets however the required backplates and/or AMD

mounting plate is not included in the box. The aforementioned parts are avail-

able free of charge from EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network.

- Thermal grease

The following items are enclosed with each EK-Supremacy EVO water block:

Narrow server type LGA-2011 is not supported by default – a Mounting plate

Supremacy LGA-2011 Narrow ILM (EAN: 3830046990600) is mandatory

to install this water block on narrow server type LGA-2011 motherboards. Re-

placing the mounting plate requires disassembly of the water block.

STEP 2

Unscrew the four M4 screws in counter-clock-

wise direction from the bottom of the water

block using enclosed 2,5mm Allen key to re-

lease the assembly, consisting of water block

top, the insert, insert pin and jet plate. Upon re-

placing the insert and/or jet plate please re-as-

semble the water block as shown on the photo

in STEP 1 and STEP 2. Pay special attention

to the insert orientation relative to the copper

base and water block top!

Before re-assembly of the water

block it is crucial that the pre-formed

gasket (o-ring) is placed into the

gap between the mounting plate

and the water block top.

Screw the four screws back in but don’t exag-

gerate with the force applied.

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

LGA-2011(-3) SOCKET

MOTHERBOARDS

STEP 1

Prepare the foil bag with mounting mecha-

nism, which is enclosed with the CPU water

block delivery.

Install four (4) speciﬁc LGA-2011 M4 thumb

screws into four M4 threaded stubs on the

LGA-2011 socket integrated latch mecha-

nism (ILM). The screws are to be installed

using no tools (i.e. pliers).

It is recommended to remove the

motherboard form the PC chassis

before proceeding with installation

of the CPU water block because

of the space constraint limitations

of various computer cases.

STEP 2

Cleaning the CPU: Wipe the CPU’s

contact surface (by using non–abra-

sive cloth or Q-tip, as shown on sam-

ple photo).

Applying thermal compound: EK

recommends blob or line method of

applying the enclosed thermal com-

pound to the CPU heat spreader (IHS)

- see sample photo on right.

The quantity of about two

rice grains is just about right.

There is no need to cover

the whole IHS. Applying too

much thermal grease will

have negative impact on the

cooling performance!

STEP 3.:

Align the water block over the

mounting screws on the LGA-

2011(-3) motherboard with pre-

installed CPU.

Before proceeding with the

installation It is mandatory

to remove the protective

foil from the backside of

the water block.

Place an enclosed compression

spring and thumb nut over each M4

thumb screw. Start fastening two

thumb nuts 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 thumb nuts

until you reach the end of the thread.

/ 10 /

STEP 4.:

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-Supremacy EVO 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.
