To make sure the installation of EK components was successful,
we recommend you perform a 24-hour leak test. When your loop is
complete and filled with coolant, connect the pump to a PSU outside
of your system. Do not connect power to any of the other components.
RECOMMENDED FILLING AND LEAK-
TESTING PROCEDURE
STEP 1
It is mandatory to do the following:
1. Disconnect all PSU power connectors (4/8-pin ESP, 24-pin ATX,
PCI-express power, SATA power) in your computer.
2. Plug the EK-ATX Bridging plug (enclosed) to your 24-pin ATX PSU
cable which allows jump starting your computer.
3. Connect the EK-Cable Pump Testing Adapter’s SATA power header
to your vacant SATA power connector on your PSU (see picture
under STEP2 for explanation)
This procedure requires only the pump to be connected to the power
supply (PSU). Everything else needs to be disconnected!
STEP 2
Plug the EK-ATX Bridging plug (enclosed) to your 24-pin ATX PSU cable
to jump start your computer. Connect the PSU SATA power connector
to the female SATA power header from the pump testing adapter.
