Installation and mounting manuals for EK-FB ASUS P7P55 KIT water block:

 

This product is intended for installation only by expert users. Please consult with a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation may result in damage to your equipment. EK Water Blocks assumes no liability 
whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products, nor their installation. The following instructions are subject to change without notice. Please visit our web site at 

www.ekwaterblocks.com

 for updates. 

Before installation of this product please read important notice, disclosure and warranty conditions printed on the back of the box. 
The barb hose fittings require only a small amount of force to screw them in; otherwise the high flow fittings might break. These fittings do not need to be tightened with much force because the 
liquid seal is made using o-rings.
 

STEP 1:  GENERAL INFORMATION. Sample picture of P7P55D motherboard.

STEP 2:  PREPARING YOUR MOTHERBOARD 
1. REMOVING STOCK COOLER. Remove all encircled screws or plugs.

 All heat 

sink assembly screws should be removed. There are 6 screws on the back of the 
motherboard.  

                         

 

2. CLEANING THE PCB. Carefully detach the original heat sink after removing all 

fasteners securing it to the board and bracket. Wipe off the remains (by using non–
abrasive cloth or qtip, as shown on sample photo) of the original thermal compound 

until the components and circuit board are completely clean. EKWB does not 

recommend using any liquids for removing paste. 

 

 

3. APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND 

Apply thermal compound: lightly coat the Southbridge with for example Céramique™ 

thermal compound. Follow this link 

http://www.arctic-

cooling.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=39_&mID=127&language=en 

for 

detailed instructions. EKWB recommends non-conductive MX-2, which should be 

applied in cross form for best performance (see sample picture). 

 

4. CUTTING THERMAL PADS. Your block comes with two precut 

thermal pads, 

which have to be placed on mosfet chips.

 (PLEASE REMOVE FOIL OF THERMAL 

PADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.)

 

5. PLACING MOSFET BLOCK ON MOTHERBOARD. Place copper base facing 
mosfet chips directly onto thermal pads and use 4 enclosed screws size M3x6 
with PVC washer to secure position of mosfet block. Please make sure you 
tighten all screws equally, without using too much force. Otherwise middle 
mosfet chips may not have proper contact / cooling. 

 

  

6. PLACING SOUTHBRIDGE BLOCK ON MOTHERBOARD. Place southbridge 
block over chip. Afterwards insert springs and 2 screws M3x25 as shown on 
picture bellow. Carefully flip your motherboard to the other side.
