STEP 1
Carefully position the water block with preinstalled standoffs on the
graphics card. During this process, make sure you have aligned the
mounting holes of the PCB with the holes of the water block.
Pay attention not to use too much force when pressing
the block down to the PCB since chip dies are prone
to cracking.
Before attaching the PCB to the Water Block, make sure
all the Thermal Pads are placed correctly!
STEP 2
Use seven (7) M2.5 x 4 AX1 Screws and PVC washers to tighten
the PCB on the water block. 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 damage to the GPU. After attaching the water block, three
(3) saved Factory provided I/O Bracket screws can be reused.
