To make sure 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 of your system. Do not connect power to 
any of the other components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump 
run continuously. 

Inspect all parts of the loop, and in case the coolant leaks, fix 
the issue and repeat the testing process. To prevent possible 
damage, please ensure that all hardware is dry before the system 
is powered on.

TESTING THE LOOP

STEP 1

If you want to replace the D-RGB LED strip, you must remove the two 
(2) standoffs shown in the picture using a 6mm wrench. Remove the 
stickout and replace the LED strip. 

Once you have replaced the LED strip, align the holes on 
the stickout with holes on the top plate, and tighten the 
standoffs evenly.

STEP 1

REPLACING THE LED STRIP (Optional)

M4/M2.5 x 13.5 
(LONGER) STANDOFF
