ATTACHING THE WATER BLOCK
STEP 1
Carefully position the water block with preinstalled standoffs on
the graphics card. During this process, make sure you have aligned
mounting holes of the PCB with holes of the water block.
Pay attention not to use too much force when pressing
the block down to the PCB since chip dies are prone to
cracking.
Before attaching the PCB to the Water Block, make sure
all the Thermal Pads are placed correctly!
STEP 1
STEP 2
After placing a PCB onto the water block, use AX1 M2.5x4 screws
and PVC washers to tighten the PCB onto the water block.
Tighten the screws evenly. EK recommends you start tightening
the screws around the GPU core first and then continuing outward
to prevent damaging the GPU. Always use a plastic washer under
each screw!
