EK-FITTING You can use any opening as an inlet/outlet port. The pre-mounted terminal is positioned for the optimal flow in the EK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080/3080Ti/3090 water block and in the EK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080/3080Ti/3090 Active Backplate. The terminal can be shifted for 180 degrees but by using it so, the inlet and outlet ports are changed.
CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP STEP 1 Plug the 4-pin D-RGB connector from the GPU water block to the D-RGB Header on your motherboard or controller. The LED strip will work only if the pin layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Data, Empty, Ground.
