PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER 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 in order to install the water block onto the graphics card.
CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS STEP 1 Thermal Pad F – 1.0 mm (120 x 16 mm) The 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.
APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND STEP 1 Apply the enclosed 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.

STEP 2 Use eleven (11) M2.5 x 4 AX1 Screws and PVC washers to tighten M2.5 PVC WASHER M2.5 x 4 AX1 the PCB on the water block. Tighten the screws evenly using the SCREW 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.
INSTALLING THE BACKPLATE STEP 1 Thermal Pad F – 1.0 mm (120 x 16 mm) After attaching the water block, a few more thermal pads need to be cut into smaller pieces to cover all the necessary components. EK made sure to provide you with more than an adequate quantity of 1 mm 120 mm thermal pads to complete this step.
ATTACHING THE BACKPLATE STEP 1 Position the backplate (including screws and standoffs) onto the BACKPLATE GPU PCB. Make sure all the holes are aligned. Tighten the screws evenly. Before attaching the backplate, make sure all the Thermal Pads are placed correctly! Do not use excessive force! For this step, you will need: Phillips Head Screwdriver...
FITTINGS AND TUBING Screw in two (2) G1/4 threaded male fittings. Attach the liquid cooling tubes and connect the water block to the cooling loop. EK- PLUG G1/4 Do not forget to plug the remaining two openings using the enclosed EK-Plug G1/4 or its equivalent. EK recommends using EK fittings with all EK water blocks.
TESTING THE LOOP To make sure the installation of EK components was successful, we recommend you perform a leak test for 24 hours. 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.
