STEP 3: PREPARING YOUR WATER BLOCK
STEP 4: ATTACHING BLOCK TO MOTHERBOARD
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 (2) M2,5x7 AX1 screws with PVC washers. Tighten the screws evenly. Do not use excessive force when tightening the screws!
B)
CPU part: Use four (4) thumb nuts and washers.
C)
SB part: Use five (5) M2,5x5 AX1 screws with PVC washers. Tighten the screws evenly. If you wish to install factory backplate you should remove the encircled screw and replace it with one M2,5x7 AX1 screw. Do
not use excessive force when tightening the screws!
Use the enclosed screws and washers as shown in picture below:
STEP 5: POSITIONING FITTINGS AND CONNECTING TO WATER CIRCUIT
For the EK-FB ASUS R5-E10 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:
scissors
philips screwdriver
thermal grease
Tubing
EK-ACF fitting
IMPORTANT: USE
THIS OPENING AS AN
INLET PORT!
Monoblock
PVC washers (7pcs)
PLACING MONOBLOCK ON THE MOTHERBOARD:
From the backside there is a protective sticker which covers the
mounting holes for the water block. You should take a pointy
object (small screwdriver) and punch 4 holes through it (see
picture on the left). Be careful not to damage the PCB.
Place the monoblock with preinstalled standoffs gently to the
motherboard or vice versa. Make sure that mounting holes are
aligned.
You mustn’t forget to install seven (7) self-adhesive PVC washers
under each and every standoff if the stock-glued washers are not
present on the PCB.
Be careful not to double the washers!!!!
The locations are shown on the picture on the left. Skip to STEP 4
on how to fasten the Monoblock to the motherboard using the
enclosed screws and washers.
