them to the standoffs using a small amount of thermal grease.
STEP 4: ATTACHING 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.
A) Mosfet part: Use four (4) M2,5x5 AX1 screws with PVC washers. Tighten the
screws evenly. Do not use excessive force when tightening the screws!
B) CPU part: Use four (4) M4x8 DIN7984 with screws and washers.
Tighten the screws using enclosed 2.5mm Allen key.
Use the enclosed screws and washers as shown in picture below:
For the EK-FB ASUS Z170S 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
