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).
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.
INSTALLATION OF FITTINGS AND TUBING STEP 1 Screw in two (2) G1/4 threaded male fittings. Attach the liquid cooling tubes and connect the water block(s) 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.
TESTING THE LOOP To ensure 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 your system. Do not connect power to any of the other components.
