  • Page 8: Cutting And Placing Thermal Pads

    CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS STEP 1 Your GPU water block comes with thermal pads that have to be cut into smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components, such as COILs, MOSFETs, and drivers. Thermal Pad F – 1.0 mm (120 x 16 mm) You must remove the protective foil from both sides of the thermal pad before installation.
  • Page 9: Applying Thermal Compound

    APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND STEP 1 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 over the entire surface of the IHS. The excessive or uneven application of thermal grease may lead to poor performance! For this Step, you will need:...

    INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK STEP 1 PLACING THE BLOCK ON THE GRAPHICS CARD This procedure is the same for all full-cover water blocks. Carefully position the water block with preinstalled standoffs on the graphics card. During this process, make sure you have aligned mounting holes of the PCB with holes of the water block (same applies to other tops).
  • Page 11: Checking For Contact

    CHECKING FOR CONTACT STEP 1 If necessary, temporarily remove the water block to check for uniform sur- face contact between the block and components. Pay special attention to the VRM section of the graphics card. Check whether the water block makes contact with the intended integrated circuit.
