Place your graphics card on the flat surface and carefully remove the stock cooler. Do not forget to unplug all the LED and fan connectors. Pay attention to the following steps when installing EK-Quantum Vector Master RX 6800/6900 water block onto your graphics card.
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, Thermal Pad F – 1.0 mm (120 x 16 mm) MOSFETs, and drivers.
APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND STEP 1 Apply the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease (thermal compound) on the GPU 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:...
STEP 2 M2.5 x 4 AX1 SCREW ATTACHING THE BLOCK TO THE GRAPHICS CARD Use fifteen (15) M2.5 x 4 AX1 Screws and fifteen (15) M2.5 PVC M2.5 PVC WASHER Washers. Tighten the screws evenly using the Phillips head screwdriver. EK recommends you start tightening the screws around the GPU core first and then continuing outward to prevent damaging the GPU.
FITTINGS AND TUBING STEP 1 Screw-in two (2) G1/4 threaded male fittings. Attach the liquid cooling tubes and connect the water block to the cooling loop. Do not forget to plug the remaining two openings with enclosed EK-Plug G1/4 or its equivalent. EK- PLUG EK recommends using EK fittings with all EK water blocks.
REPLACING THE LED STRIP (Optional) STEP 1 In case of replacing the D-RGB LED strip, two (2) M2.5 x 6 AX1 Screws must be removed using Phillips Head Screwdriver (as shown M2.5 x 6 AX1 in the picture). STEP 1 TESTING THE LOOP To ensure the installation of EK components was successful, we recommend you perform a 24-hour leak test.
CHECKING THE CONTACT IN CASE OF HIGH TEMPERATURES If necessary, temporarily remove the water block to check for uniform surface 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. Then repeat Steps from the previous section to re-attach the block.
