2. PLACING BLOCK TO GRAPHIC CARD
. Carefully position the water block with
preinstalled 2.5mm standoffs on to the graphics card. During this process please make sure
you align mounting holes on PCB with holes on the water block. Also pay attention not to
use too much force by pressing block down to PCB. Chip dies are prone to cracking.
3. ATTACHING BLOCK TO GRAPHIC CARD
. By using Philips screwdriver screw
in enclosed M3x4 DIN7985 screws. EKWB recommends start screwing the screws
around the GPU core and continue outwards. Always use a PVC washer under
each and every screw!
STEP 4: CHECKING FOR CONTACTS
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
substeps in previous section to reattach the block. In case you fail to obtain good contact, please check again your thermal pad thickness or contact our support
service.
STEP 6: FITTING POSITIONING
Screw in the fittings and plugs. Please use spacer only on copper base if you use fitting with G1/4 thread longer than 5mm (see sample picture). Use 6mm allen key to screw in
and tighten the EK-Plug G1/4. EKWB recommends using EK-PSC fittings with the EK-FC7970 series water blocks. To ensure that the tubes are securely attached to the
barb/fittings, please use hose clamps or an appropriate substitute.
You can use any opening as an inlet/outlet port.
STEP 6: INSERTING CARD IN YOUR PC CASE
Carefully lift your graphics card with installed block and insert it in your PC’s motherboard PCIe expansion slot. Please bear in mind that your cards is probably heavier than when
it was equipped with original heatsink fan assembly. One needs to be very careful when handling the graphics card. Avoid all un-needed manipulation of the VGA/water block
assembly that might damage your card or water block during final installation.
STEP 5: OTHER INSTRUCTIONS
VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE: Once the installation is completed, it is a recommended practice to test the cooling circuit for leaks prior to powering up the computer. We recommend a 24 hour leak test prior to powering
up the computer. Do not test the water block using tap water pressure. This will rupture the top of the housing and render the block unusable (and will void your warranty).While all efforts have been made to provide the
most comprehensive tutorial possible, EK Water Blocks assumes no liability expressed or implied for any consequential damage(s) occurring to your equipment as a result of using EK Water Blocks cooling products, either
