Installation and mounting manual for EK-FC I750 SSD 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
installation of this product please read important notice, disclosure and warranty conditions printed on the back of the box.
Before you start using this product please follow these basic guidelines:
1.
Please carefully read the manual before through before beginning with the installation process!
2.
Please remove your motherboard from the computer to assure safest mounting process in order to prevent any possible damages to your CPU and/or motherboard’s circuit board (PCB).
3.
The EK-JFBand EK-ACF type fittings require only a small amount of force to screw them firmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured by the rubber O-ring gaskets.
4.
The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.
STEP 1: GENERAL INFORMATION.

STEP 2: PREPARING YOUR SSD CARD.
1. REMOVING STOCK COOLER: Remove all encircled screws. All heat sink
assembly screws should be removed, including self-adhesive washers on both
sides of the PCB (if present).
STEP 2 cont.: PREPARING YOUR SSD CARD
1. CLEANING THE PCB.
Carefully detach the original stock cooler after removing
all
screws securing it to the board. Wipe off the remains (by using non–abrasive cloth or
q-tip
,
as shown on sample photo) of the original thermal compound until the components and circuit board are completely clean. EKWB recommends the use of denatured alcohol for
removing TIM leftovers.
2. APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND.
Wipe off the
remains (by using non–abrasive cloth or
q-tip
) of the
original thermal compound until the components and
circuit board are completely clean. Apply thermal
compound: lightly coat chip with enclosed EK-TIM
Ectotherm thermal grease. EKWB recommends to apply
thermal grease in cross form for best performance (see
sample picture).
3. CUTTING THERMAL PADS.
Your block comes with thermal pads, some of which are already pre-cut. Others
have to be cut to smaller chunks in order to cover all the components such as NANDs, DRAMs and PMICs. PLEASE
REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FOIL FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE THERMAL PADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
Replacement thermal pads:
Thermal Pad F – 1.0mm (120x16mm)
STEP 3: INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK
1. PLACING THERMAL PADS ON PCB.
Place thermal pads on chips so that numbers on chips match size of thermal pads. EKWB made sure users have more than
enough pads to cover all surfaces that need to be covered to make block fully functional.
