Unscrew nine (9) M2.5-M3x6.6 standoff with the included tool
(EK-Plug out Spludger Tool). Make sure not to unscrew the
M3.5-M2.5x11.3 standoff! In case that M3.5-M2.5x11.3 standoff
unscrews, carefully tighten it back with 4mm wrench.
After removing the standoffs, the PCB cardboard (Printed Circuit
Board cardboard) needs to be removed. The PCB cardboard is
printed in 1:1 scale.

STEP 1
Your GPU water block comes with thermal pads that have to be cut
into smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components, such as COILs,
MOSFETs, and drivers.
You must remove the protective foil from both sides of the
thermal pad before installation.
Replacement thermal pads:
Thermal PAD F 1.0 mm - (120 x 16 mm) – 3830046996732
Thermal PAD F 2.0 mm - (120 x 16 mm) – 3830046996756
Thermal PAD G 1.5 mm - (120 x 24 mm) – 3830046996787
