Place thermal pads on PCB as shown on the picture below.
PLEASE REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FOIL FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE THERMAL
PADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION!
STEP 5: PLACING THERMAL PADS
STEP 6: PLACING A BLOCK ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD
Place the
EK-FB ASUS X399 GAMING RGB Monoblock series water block gently to the
motherboard or vice versa (as shown on photo below). Make sure that mounting holes
are aligned. Place it on factory installed washers on the motherboard (MOSFET area).
STEP 7.1: ATTACHING A BLOCK ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD
STEP 7.2: ATTACHING A BLOCK ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD
Prior to fastening the screws please make sure the mounting holes on the
motherboard’s circuit board are aligned with the water block. Secure top 4 (four)
nickel screws with enclosed 2,5mm Allen key. Tighten screws diagonally and evenly
till the end of the thread. Do not use excessive force when tightening the screws!
Prior to fastening the screws please make sure the mounting holes on the
motherboard’s circuit board are aligned with the water block. Use 2 (two) M2,5x7 AX1
screws with original backplate. Tighten the screws evenly. Do not use excessive force
when tightening the screws! Now you can reinstall factory plastic I/O cover.
STEP 8: CONNECTING THE RGB or D-RGB LED STRIP (optional)
For the EK-FB ASUS X399 GAMING RGB Monoblock series water block to operate
properly the G1/4 port nearest to the right edge of the water block MUST BE USED
AS THE INLET PORT. EK recommends the use of EK-ACF fittings. When using fittings
other than EK-ACF series please use hose clamps or appropriate substitute to secure
the tubing to the barb.
The use of biocide containing and corrosion inhibiting coolant
is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.
REQUIRED TOOLS AND MOUNTING SCREWS:
scissors
philips screwdriver
Allen key
M2.5x7 screws
Tubing
IMPORTANT: USE
THIS OPENING AS
AN INLET PORT!
Place 1mm thermal pads in
large strip over marked area
and make sure all mosfet chips
and inductor coils are covered.
CONNECT THE D-RGB LED (LED with 3
wires):
D-RGB LED is enclosed with your
monoblock. If you swap the LED strip,
plug the 4-pin connector from
Monoblock D-RGB LED strip to the
ADD_HEADER on the motherboard.
Please ensure that the arrow indicated
on the connector is plugged into the
+5V line as indicated on your
motherboard. Failure to do so will
damage your motherboard or LED
strip.
CONNECT THE RGB LED (RGB LED
with 4 wires):
Plug the 4-pin connector from
Monoblock RGB LED strip to the
RGB_HEADER on the motherboard.
Please ensure that the arrow
indicated on the connector is plugged
into the +12V line as indicated on
your motherboard. Failure to do so
will damage your motherboard or
LED strip.
