INSTALLING THE GPU WATER BLOCK STEP 1 The GPU vertical bracket is already mounted in the PC Chassis. Before M2.5 x 4 mounting the water-cooled GPU, it is necessary to install the PCI-E DIN7985 Riser cable 4.0 (provided with the PC Chassis). Attach it with two (2) SCREW mounting screws (M2.5 x 4 DIN7985).
STEP 3 Connect the water-cooled GPU to the PCI-E Riser cable. STEP 3 INSTALLING THE PSU Position the Power Supply into the PC Chassis and secure it with provided mounting screws (UNC 6/32x1/2). Do not use excessive force! For this step, you will need: Screw UNC Allen Key 2.5 mm 6/32x1/2 (4 pcs)
DISTRIBUTION PLATE CONFIGURATION To complete your loop, all ports must be used as marked in the image. FILL All remaining unused ports (Fill and drain port) must be closed with supplied plugs. Only one INLET and one OUTLET port for the GPU connection can be used, while all other INLET and OUTLET GPU ports must be closed with G1/4 plugs (enclosed in the package).
INSTALLING THE FITTINGS AND TUBING After the hardware parts are attached, the fittings and tubing have to be installed. EK Recommends using the EK-Torque series fittings and EK-Rigid (hard) tubing. Make sure all the unused ports are closed with the provided EK-Plugs G1/4.
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.
