PADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION!
STEP 5: PLACING THERMAL PADS
STEP 6: PLACING A BLOCK ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD
Place the
EK-FB ASUS ROG ZE 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).
STEP 7.1: ATTACHING A BLOCK ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD
STEP 7.2: ATTACHING A BLOCK ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD
Prior to fastening the screws please make sure the mounting holes on the
motherboard’s circuit board are aligned with the water block.
Secure top 4 (four)
nickel screws with enclosed 2,5mm Allen key. Tighten screws diagonally and evenly
till the end of the thread. Do not use excessive force when tightening the screws!
Prior to fastening the screws please make sure the mounting holes on the
motherboard’s circuit board
are aligned with the water block. Use 2 (two) M2,5x7 AX1
screws with original backplate. Tighten the screws evenly. Do not use excessive force
when tightening the screws! Now you can reinstall factory plastic I/O cover.
STEP 8: CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP (optional)
Plug the 4-pin connector from Monoblock D-RGB LED strip to the ADD HEADER on
the motherboard. Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector is plugged
into the +5V line as indicated on your motherboard. Failure to do so will damage
your motherboard or LED strip.
For the EK-FB ASUS ROG ZE 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
M2.5x7 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.
