This product is intended for installation by expert users. Please 
consult a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation 
may result in damage to your equipment. EK Water Blocks 
assumes no liability whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use 
of these products, nor their installation. The following instructions 
are subject to change without notice. Please visit our web site at 
www.ekwb.com for updates. Before installation of this product 
please read important notice, disclosure and warranty conditions 
printed on the back of the box.

Before you start using this product please follow these basic 
guidelines:

1.  Please carefully read the manual throughly before beginning with 

the installation process!

2. Please remove your Graphics card from the computer to assure 

safest mounting process in order to prevent any possible damages 
to your GPU and/or graphics card circuit board (PCB). 

3.  The EK-ALU ACF and EK-ALU HDC type fittings require only 

a small amount of force to screw them firmly in place since the 
liquid seal is ensured by the rubber O-ring gaskets.

4.  The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended 

for any liquid cooling system.

This product is made from aluminum and can be only used 

with other aluminum liquid cooling components, such as Al 

fittings, water blocks and radiators. Mixing aluminum with 

copper and brass products can cause galvanic corrosion of 

the metal and render liquid cooling equipment useless. Such 

misuse is not covered by warranty.
