3. PLACING BLOCK TO GRAPHIC CARD. During this process please make sure you align
holes on PCB with holes on block. Also pay attention not to use too much force by
pressing block down to PCB. Chips are prone to cracking.
4. ATTACHING BLOCK TO GRAPHIC CARD. By using Philips screwdriver screw in
enclosed M3x6 screws. EKWB recommends start screwing the screws around the
GPU core and continue outwards.
STEP 4: CHECKING FOR CONTACTS
Temporarily remove the water block to check for uniform surface contact between the block and the components. Note the pattern of contact on a piece of paper. Then repeat
substeps in previous section to reattach the block. In case you can’t get good contact, please check again your thermal pad thickness our contact our support service.
STEP 5: POSITIONING FITTINGS
Please use spacer only on copper base if you use fitting with G1/4 thread longer than 5mm (see sample picture). Screw in the fittings and plugs (please use spacers only on
copper base for fittings). Use 6mm Allen key to screw in and tighten new EK-Plug G1/4. Attach the liquid cooling tubes and connect the water-block(s) into the cooling circuit.
EKWB recommends using high flow fittings with the EK-FC 5870 V2 series water blocks. To ensure that the tubes are securely attached to the barb/fittings, please use hose
clamps or an appropriate substitute. The use of an algaecide is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.
You can use any hole as an inlet/outlet hole.
