In order to obtain the best performance across
the entire lifespan of the product, it is crucial
to follow these maintenance tips.
1. DUST REMOVAL
It is mandatory to clean the dust
every 2-3 months
. EK recommends
using a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to blow the dust away.
The radiator is usually the dustiest, so pay special attention to it. Do
not forget to turn off the computer and unplug the power supply. It is
recommended to clean the dust outside.
2. CHECKING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Once a year,
you should check if the pump and fans are running
as they should. The pump and fans must run silently without any
rattling noises and must react to PWM duty cycle changes. All
imperfections may lead to overheating and, ultimately, breakdown.
3. CLEANING THE UNIT
The unit should be thoroughly cleaned
every year
. You must let all
the coolant out. The radiator must be flushed, the pump checked
and cleaned, and the coolant replaced. It is also recommended to
change the tubing.
4. USING PARTS DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED BY EK
It is recommended to use only genuine EK Water Blocks liquid cooling
gear and add-ons to prevent any performance, compatibility, or
warranty issues.
