PREPARING YOUR MOTHERBOARD REMOVING THE PLASTIC I/O COVER Unscrew the two (2) bottom screws to remove the plastic I/O cover. Unscrew the two pairs of screws holding the side covers in place. Put the screws aside as you will have to reattach the covers later. Remove the two standoffs from the I/O cover.
REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER Unscrew the four (4) screws. These must be removed in order to remove the factory-installed MOSFET cooling solution from the motherboard. After removing the screws, carefully detach the stock cooler and pre-applied thermal pads. EK provides replacement thermal pads with the water block (see Chapter: CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS).
CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS Thermal Pad F – 1.0 mm Your monoblock comes with thermal pads that need to be trimmed to fit the voltage regulation area (MOSFET) on the motherboard’s circuit board. 120 mm 1 mm Place larger strips of thermal pads over the marked area and make sure Thermal Pad F 1.0 mm all MOSFET and inductor chips are covered, as shown in the picture.
APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND Apply the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease (thermal compound) on the CPU heat spreader – IHS – as shown in the image. The layer of the thermal compound must be thin and even in thickness over the entire surface of the IHS. Use a plastic spatula (a credit card works great) to spread the thermal compound across the IHS evenly.
INSTALLING THE MONOBLOCK Carefully place your EK-Quantum Momentum ROG Maximus XIII Hero water block on the motherboard or vice versa, as shown in the picture. Make sure the holes are aligned. Before you fasten the screws, make sure the mounting holes on the motherboard’s circuit board are aligned with the water block.
INSTALLING THE I/O COVER Make sure the factory standoffs are attached to the enclosed I/O cover before proceeding. Reattach the LED module to the cover. FACTORY Place the I/O cover on the motherboard and attach the two side SCREW covers with the factory screws. Turn the motherboard over and use the original two (2) screws to attach the I/O cover to the motherboard.
INSTALLING FITTINGS AND TUBING For the EK-Quantum Momentum ROG Maximus XIII Hero D-RGB TUBING monoblock to operate properly, the G1/4 port nearest to the right side of the water block (and the EK badge) MUST BE USED AS THE INLET PORT.
TESTING THE LOOP To make sure the installation of EK components was successful, we recommend you perform a 24-hour leak test. When your loop is complete and filled with coolant, connect the pump to a PSU outside of your system. Do not connect power to any of the other components.
