STEP 3: PLACING THE BLOCK ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD
PLACING THE BLOCK ON THE MOTHERBOARD. Place the EK-FB MSI Z270 GAMING Monoblock series water block gently to the motherboard or vice versa (as shown on photo
below). Make sure that mounting holes are aligned. You mustn’t forget to install four self- adhesive PVC washers between the four (4) standoffs and PCB. The locations are
shown on the picture below.
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 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 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 MSI Z270 GAMING 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.

indicated on your motherboard. Failure to
do so will damage your motherboard or
LED strip.
Place 1mm thermal pads (1) in larger strips over
marked area and make sure all mosfet chips are
covered.
