For steps following STEP 3.1 is it mandatory to re-use
Mounting Mechanism and Backplate Assembly from your
original EK-Supremacy EVO water block!
STEP 3.1: ASSEMBLING THE WATER BLOCK TOP WITH INSERTS AND JET PLATES
3) Assembling the water block:
3.1)
Place your EK-Supremacy EVO water block on an even surface and remove the four M4x16 DIN7991 screws attaching the top to the copper base using the
enclosed 2.5mm Allen key. Strip it of all parts and keep Mounting Plate(s) and Copper base only (see STEP 1 for disambiguration).
3.2)
Re-use insert and assemble Insert and Insert Pin as shown on photo below. It is mandatory to install the Insert Pin and Insert in correct way, there is only
one way to install it. You will feel the pin sitting flush when placed correctly into the water block Insert.
3.3)
Place the Insert assembly on to the CPU water block top. There is only one correct orientation possible
–
the outlet port must not be blocked!
3.4)
Place the Jet plate onto the water block top assembly. You will feel the jet plate locking into the position when placed correctly on top of the Insert
assembly.
3.5)
Place the desired mounting plate on to the top of EK-Supremacy EVO RGB top. You will feel the mounting plate locking into the position when placed
correctly on to the top. Reseat the o-ring gasket if necassery
3.6)
Carefully place copper base to waterblock top assembly, make sure gaskets stay in place!
Beware of copper base orientation!
Repeat previous steps if
necassery. Screw in all four (4) M4x16 DIN7991 screws using 2.5mm Allen (hex) key.
STEP 4: PREPARING BACKPLATE RUBBER GASKET (FOR INTEL LGA-2011 SKIP THIS STEP)
The enclosed rubber gasket is essential part of the backplate and mounting system and must be used every time you
install this water block on any motherboard apart from LGA-2011 socket type. The rubber backplate has a partially cut
inner part which needs to be removed when installed on Intel LGA-115x and LGA-1366 motherboard. The rubber is held
on four places and can be peeled away with hand. These two pieces can be reassembled later if needed.
Intel LGA-115x and LGA-1366 socket
:
Remove the inner core of the rubber and use the outer part only.
AMD sockets
:
Use the whole rubber backplate including the inner core.
