- Page 2 The following instructions and pictures are provided to assist you with the installation of the EVGA GTX™ 1080/GTX™ 1070 FTW Hybrid Cooling Kit on compatible GTX™ 1080/GTX™ 1070 FTW graphics cards. Please be careful when install the FTW Hybrid Cooling Kit; there are several very small screws used, which can be easily stripped. Please keep your original cooling solution, including screws.
- Page 3 2) Remove the 4 spring-loaded screws on the back side of the card, as this will allow you to remove the original cooling solution. Set these screws aside for now, as you'll use them again in Step 6. After removing the cooling solution, carefully unplug the fan's power connector from the graphics card's fan header (this is necessary for Step 7).
- Page 4 Be sure to fully clean the GPU (see picture) with a high-percentage Isopropyl Alcohol—preferably 90% or higher—and a lint-free cloth to remove all thermal compound. Remove the watercooler from the FTW Hybrid Cooling Kit packaging, then separate the shroud, copper memory plate, and heatsink and fan.
- Page 5 7) The FTW The Hybrid Cooling Kit's waterblock uses a pass-through cable to power the pump on the waterblock and the fan on the graphics card. Using the pictures below as a guide, (1) plug the fan's power connector into the waterblock's female pass-through connector, then (2) connect the remaining connector into the graphics card's fan header.
- Page 6 8) Use the fins in the heatsink to run the wires underneath the fan, then gently flatten the cables parallel to the PCB. We recommend using the 6 fin from the bottom, as shown in the pic below.
- Page 7 9) Attach the included rubber insert to the edge of the card, which will be used to hold the tubes in place. Make sure to run the fan-connector underneath the small channel provided under the rubber insert.
- Page 8 10) Plug in the 2-pin LED power cable from the shroud into the LED header. Use the picture below as a guide: 11) Place one thermal pad on the back of PCB.
- Page 9 12) Place the shroud over the top of the card. The rubber insert is held down only by the tubing and shroud, so ensure the insert is aligned properly before installing the shroud (See pic in Step 9). Make sure to align the shroud with the tubing and the cutouts in the rubber insert, and then insert the shroud into place.
