Installation and mounting manuals for EK-FB ASUS X58 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 ASUS P6T DELUXE V.2 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 8 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 Northbridge 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 thermal pads (thickness 

0,5mm), which have to be placed on Southbridge. 

(PLEASE REMOVE FOIL OF 

THERMAL PADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.)

 

 

5. PLACING THERMAL PAD ON MOTHERBOARD. 

Place thermal pad on marked 

place (Southbridge). Please cut thermal pad in a way to make a square fit.

 

 
  

 

 
 

6. PLACING STANDOFFS ON WATERBLOCK. 

Your block comes with 4 standoffs 

which prevent overtightening the screws. To secure standoffs and to make sure they 

stay on their place while attaching waterblock to motherboard, please apply small 

amount of thermal paste on standoff and glue it to mounting hole (make sure holes are 

concentric).
