2. PLACING THE BLOCK ON TO THE SSD CARD
. Carefully position the
water block with preinstalled 2.1 mm standoffs on to the SSD card. During this
process please make sure you align mounting holes on the PCB with holes on
the water block (same applies for other tops). Also pay attention not to use too
much force by pressing the block down to the PCB. Chip dies are prone to
cracking.
3. ATTACHING THE BLOCK TO THE SSD CARD
. Use a Philips screwdriver screw with the
enclosed M2,5x4 AX1 and M2,5x5 AX1 screws.
For securing screw on edge use
M2,5x5 AX1
with plastic washer and nut.
STEP 3.1: (optional) REPLACING THE TERMINAL
In the box you will find enclosed FC terminal with two ports on the side. You will need it if there isn’t enough space to install the fittings on regular terminal. You
will need Unscrew the three M4x25mm screws. Take terminal from the block and swap the o-ring gaskets to the new terminal. Make sure that the gaskets are
sitting in the groove and then screw the three M4x25mm screws back in.
STEP 4: CHECKING FOR CONTACTS
If necessary temporarily remove the water block to check for uniform surface contact between the block and the components, pay special attention to
ASIC chip
the section of
the SSD card. Check whether the water block makes contact with the intended integrated circuit. Then repeat sub-steps in previous section to re-attach the block.
In case you
fail to obtain good contact, please check again that your thermal pad thickness or contact our support service at http://support.ekwb.com.
STEP 6: INSTALLATION OF FITTINGS AND TUBING
Screw in the two G1/4 threaded male fittings. Attach the liquid cooling tubes and connect the water-block(s) into the cooling circuit.
EKWB recommends using EK-ACF
fittings with the EK-FC I750 SSD series water blocks
. To ensure that the tubes are securely attached to the barb/fittings, please use hose clamps or an appropriate
substitute.
You can use any opening as an inlet/outlet port. Do not forget to plug the remaining two opening with enclosed EK-Plug G1/4 or equivalent.
CAUTION:
In case of using connectors other than EK-ACF series compression fittings, take special attention to the length of the fittings’ male G1/4” thread. 5mm is the
maximum allowed G1/4” thread length!
STEP 7: INSERTING THE CARD IN YOUR PC CASE
Carefully lift your SSD card with installed block and insert it in your PC’s motherboard PCI-express expansion slot. Please bear in mind that your SSD card is probably heavier than
when it was equipped with original heat sink fan assembly. One needs to be very careful when handling the SSD card. Avoid all un-needed manipulation of the SSD/water block
assembly that might damage your card or water block during final installation.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
scissors
Philips head screwdriver
EK-ACF Fitting
Tubing

Acetal Terminal
Screw M2,5x4 AX1
Screw M2,5x5 AX1
Use washer and nut for
securing these screws!
1. Unscrew the three M4x25mm screws.
2. Swap the gaskets to the new FC terminal
3. Secure terminal screwing the three
M4x25mm screws back in.
