Thermal PAD F 1.0 mm (120 x 16 mm) You must remove the protective foil from both sides of the thermal pad before installation.
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. The excessive or uneven application of thermal grease may lead to poor performance! For this Step, you will need:...
INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK This procedure is the same for all full-cover water blocks. STEP 1 SCREW AX1 M2.5 x 4 (4x) MOUNTING PCB ON THE WATER BLOCK Firstly, stick three (3) Washer POLYAMID M2.5 0.7 mm selfglued, on the top of 3 the biggest standoffs.
STEP 2 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.
