PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD
STEP 1
REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER
Place your graphics card on the flat surface and carefully remove the
stock cooler. Do not forget to unplug all the LED and fan connectors.
Pay attention to the following steps in order to install the EK-Quantum
Vector FE RTX 3070 FE Ti water block onto the graphics card.
STEP 2
CLEANING THE PCB
Carefully detach the original stock cooler after removing all screws
that are securing it to the board. Wipe off the remains of the original
thermal compound using a nonabrasive cloth or Q-tip, as shown
in the sample image, until the components and circuit board are
completely clean. EK recommends the use of denatured alcohol for
removing TIM leftovers.
