STEP 1
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!
Screws must be present in the places marked on the picture.
STEP 2
Use seven (7) M2.5x4 AX1 Screws and six (6) PVC washers to tighten
the PCB on the water block. Tighten the screws evenly using the
Phillips-head screwdriver. EK recommends you start tightening the
screws around the GPU core first, and then continuing outward to
prevent damage to the GPU.
