STEP 3: PREPARING YOUR WATER BLOCK
1. PLACING STANDOFFS ON BLOCK. Brass standoffs are necessary in order to attach
this water block to the printed circuit board of the graphics card. Please use the
enclosed key to screw them to the copper base of the water block. There is no need to
overtighten standoffs as nickel plating or threads may get damaged.(also be careful
with handling the key as you may scratch material).
2. PLACING BLOCK ON MOTHERBOARD. Place the waterblock gently to the
motherboard or vice versa. Make sure that mounting holes are aligned.
STEP 4: ATTACHING BLOCK TO MOTHERBOARD STEP 5: CHECKING FOR CONTACTS
Prior to fastening the screws please make sure the mounting holes on the
motherboard’s circuit board are aligned with the waterblock. Tighten the screws,
beginning near the northbridge, and continue evenly outwards. Do not use excessive
force when tightening the screws!
Use the enclosed screws and washers as shown in picture below:
Temporarily remove the water block to check for uniform surface contact between the
block and the components. Note the pattern of contact on a piece of paper. Then
repeat steps 3 and 4 to reattach the block applying more or less pressure to the areas
where you have found it necessary.
6. POSITIONING FITTINGS AND CONNECTING TO WATER CIRCUIT
Please use the provided 1.8mm spacer along with the gasket on shown opening only if you use fitting with G1/4 thread longer than 5mm (see left picture). Attach the liquid
cooling tubes and connect the water-block(s) into the cooling circuit. EKWB recommends using EK-PSC compression fittings with the EK-FB ASUS Crosshair V series water block.
You can use any opening as an inlet/outlet port.
