STEP 3. PLACING THERMAL PADS ON PCB
Remove the protective film and place thermal pads on the PCB as shown on the picture.
Make sure to remove the protective film on both sides of the thermal pads.

STEP 4. PLACE THE BLOCK ON TO THE GRAPHICS CARD
Carefully position the water block onto the graphics card. During the process please make sure
you align the mounting holes on the PCB with the holes on the water block.
Make sure to lay the GPU with the waterblock flat down without resting on the PCI
bracket. Do not use too much force by pressing the block down to the PCB. Chip dies
are prone to cracking.

STEP 6. CONNECTING THE PHANTEKS RGB CABLE
Connect the 3 RGB connectors to the RGB LED strips. With the included RGB motherboard
adapter you can now connect the waterblock directly to your RGB equipped motherboard:

INSTALLATION OF FITTINGS AND TUBING
Screw in the two G1/4 threaded male ttings, attach the liquid cooling tubes
and connect the water block(s) into the cooling circuit. Phanteks recommends
Phanteks ttings with the Phanteks Glacier Series water blocks.
DO NOT FORGET TO PLUG THE REMAINING TWO OPENING.
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, WE RECOMMEND TO MATCH THE INLET/OUTLET
STEP 5.
CONNECTING THE RGB LED (IF CONNECTOR IS PRESENT)
Make sure to connect the RGB LED cable from the waterblock to the GPU PCB

please make sure you align mounting holes on the PCB with holes on the
water block.

STEP 4.
PLACING THERMAL PADS ON PCB
Place thermal pads on the circuit board as shown on the picture below. Refer to
numbering in previous picture when applying thermal pads of di erent sizes or
thickness. Phanteks made sure to provide customers with more than adequate
quantity of thermal pads to complete this step.

STEP 7. INSTALLALTION OF FITTINGS AND TUBING
Screw in the two G1/4 threaded male fittings, attach the liquid cooling tubes and connect the
water block(s) into the cooling circuit. Phanteks recommends using Phanteks fitting with the
Phanteks Glacier Series water blocks.
- For the best performance, we recommend to match the inlet/outlet configuration
of the water block.
- Do not forget to plug the remaining two openings.
- Always perform a leak test before starting your computer.

H4 Hex Socket Wrench needed
Use the included four (4) M2.5x5 screws and washers(in red) to tighten the block to the
GPU core. *Use the stock hexagonal spacer screws(in blud) from Step 1 that you set aside
and fasten it to the PCB using the provided H4 Hex Socket Wrench.
Once the water block is installed to the PCB, take the back plate and align with the
mounting holes of the hexagonal spacer-screws. Fasten the stock screws that you set aside
in Step 1(in blue) to the hexagonal spacer-screws. Finally, use the two (2) included screws
with the hex nut to complete the installation(in red).

Phanteks recommends you follow the steps below before you start your water loop setup
1. Test all your hardware before you start your water loop setup to make sure it is in working condition.
2. Plan out your loop to save some time.
3. Flush and rinse your water blocks with distilled water prior to use to ensure a clean loop.
4. Make sure that everything is unpowered and unplugged, either at the power supply end or hardware’s end before you
start your leak test.
5. Use paper towels under fittings and joints to avoid damage if there are leaks.
6. With the fill port open, run the loop for approximately 24 hours to completely bleed the air out of the loop.
