Place your graphics card on the flat surface and carefully remove the stock cooler. Do not forget to unplug all fan connectors. Pay attention to the following steps when installing the EK-RTX A5000 Rack water block onto your graphics card.
Once cut to size, thermal pads should be placed on the PCB, as Thermal Pad F 1.0 mm illustrated below. EK made sure to provide you with more than an adequate quantity of thermal pads to complete this Step. For this Step, you will need: Thermal Pad F 1.0 mm (5x)
CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS 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.
INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK This procedure is the same for all full-cover water blocks. STEP 1 MOUNTING PCB ON THE WATER BLOCK SCREW AX1 M2.5 x 4 (4x) Firstly, stick three (3) Washer POLYAMID M2.5 0.7 mm selfglued, on the top of 3 WASHER M2.5 x 0.5mm (4x) the biggest standoffs.
MOUNTING BACKPLATE ON PCB Again, cut thermal pads to needed size. Thermal pads should be placed on the back of PCB, as illustrated below. EK made sure to provide you with more than an adequate quantity of thermal pads to complete this Step.
CHECKING FOR CONTACT 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.
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.
