7. PLACING BLOCK TO GRAPHIC CARD. During this process please make sure you align
mounting openings on PCB with threaded openings on block. Also pay attention not to
use too much force by pressing block down to PCB. Chips are prone to cracking.
8. ATTACHING BLOCK TO GRAPHIC CARD. Please place back stock backplate without
retention backplate of the GPU. By using Philips screwdriver screw in the enclosed
M3x6 screws through the backplate into the block and M3x4 screws around GPU.
EKWB recommends start screwing the screws around the GPU core and continue
outwards.
Alternative mounting method without backplate
: Use nine encased M3x4
screws and nine 0.5mm PVC washers only!
STEP 3: CHECKING FOR CONTACTS
Temporarily remove the water blocks to check for uniform surface contact between the block and the components. Note the pattern of contact on a piece of paper. Then repeat
steps 5 and 8 to reattach the block applying more or less pressure to the areas where you have found it necessary.
STEP 4: POSITIONING FITTINGS
Please use spacer on copper base (see sample picture). Screw in the fittings and plugs (please use spacers only on copper base), 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 6970 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 opening as an inlet/outlet hole.
STEP 5: INSERTING CARD IN YOUR PC CASE
Carefully lift your card with installed block and insert it in your PC case. Bear in mind that your card suddenly withstands extra weight thus again be very careful not to bend it or
cause any other unneeded moves that might damage your card or block during installation.
