Unscrew eight (8) M2.5-M3 x 6.6 standoff with the included
tool (EK-Plug out Spludger Tool). Make sure not to unscrew the
M3.5-M2.5 x 11.3 standoff! In case the M3.5-M2.5 x 11.3 standoff
unscrews, carefully tighten it back with the 4 mm wrench.
After removing the standoffs, the PCB cardboard needs to be
removed. The PCB cardboard is printed on 1:1 scale.

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS
STEP 1
our GPU water block comes with thermal pads that have to be cut
into smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components, such as COILs,
MOSFETs, and drivers.
You must remove the protective foil from both sides of the
thermal pad before installation.
Replacement thermal pads:
