Place thermal pads on PCB as shown on the picture below.
PLEASE REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FOIL FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE THERMAL PADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION!
STEP 5: PLACING THERMAL PADS
STEP 6: PLACING A BLOCK ON TO MOTHERBOARD
STEP 7: ATTACHING A BLOCK ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD
Place the EK-FB ASRock X299 RGB Monoblock series water block gently to the
motherboard or vice versa (as shown on photo below). Make sure that mounting
holes are aligned. Place it on factory installed washers on the motherboard (MOSFET
area).
Prior to fastening the screws please make sure the mounting holes on the
motherboard’s circuit board are aligned with the water block.
A) Mosfet part: Use two M2,5x5 AX1 screws with M2,5 PVC washers. Tighten the
screws evenly. Do not use excessive force when tightening the screws!
B) CPU part: Use four thumb nuts with screws and M3 PVC washers. Tighten
the thumb nuts.
Use the enclosed screws and washers as shown in picture below:
STEP 8: CONNECTING THE RGB LED STRIP (optional)
Plug the 4-pin connector from Monoblock RGB LED strip to the motherboard. Please
ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector is plugged into the 12v line as
indicated on your motherboard. Failure to do so will damage your motherboard or
LED strip.
For the EK-FB ASRock X299 RGB Monoblock series water block to operate properly the
G1/4 port nearest to the right edge of the water block MUST BE USED AS THE INLET
PORT. EK recommends the use of EK-ACF fittings. When using fittings other than EK-
ACF series please use hose clamps or appropriate substitute to secure the tubing to
the barb.
The use of biocide containing and corrosion inhibiting coolant is always
recommended for any liquid cooling system.
REQUIRED TOOLS AND MOUNTING SCREWS:
scissors
philips screwdriver
Allen key
M2.5x5 screws
Tubing
IMPORTANT: USE
THIS OPENING AS
AN INLET PORT!
Place 1mm thermal pads in large strip over
marked area and make sure all mosfet
chips and inductor coils are covered.
Holes to be punched through!
M2.5 PVC washers
M3 PVC washers
M3 thumb nut
