STEP 4: ATTACHING EK-FC R9-290X BACKPLATE TO THE GRAPHICS CARD
Take enclosed mounting screws and install them as shown on picture below. Depending on the variant please use the following combination of
screws:
a)
Acetal
and
Original CSQ
top type water block: Use five (5) M3x8 DIN7991 on the back side and one (1) M3x4 DIN7985 securing the
backplate from the front side.
b)
Plexi
short top type water block: Use four (4) M3x8 DIN 7991, one (1) M3x4 DIN7985 and one (1) M3x10 DIN7991 screw with M3 nut.
HINT: Do not tighten screws until they are all positioned in their mounting holes. The backplate has milled in standoffs, so there is no fear of over
tightening of the screws. Nevertheless do not exaggerate with screwing force as there is no need for it.
By all means users must also consider that this product is intended to be used only with EK-FC R9-290X series water blocks. No other 3
rd
party heat
sinks or coolers are supported!

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Once the installation is completed, it is a recommended practice to test the cooling circuit for leaks prior to powering up the
computer. We recommend a 24 hour leak test prior to powering up the computer. Do not test the water block using city water pressure. This will rupture the top
of the housing and render the block unusable (and will void your warranty).While all efforts have been made to provide the most comprehensive tutorial possible,
EK Water Blocks assumes no liability expressed or implied for any consequential damage(s) occurring to your equipment as a result of using EK Water Blocks
cooling products, either due to errors or omissions on our part in the above instructions, or due to failure or defect in the EK Water Blocks cooling products.
WARRANTY:
Our products are warranted against defects in materials or workmanship for a period of 24 months beginning from the date of delivery to the final user. During
this period, products will be repaired or have parts replaced at our discretion provided that: (I) the product is returned to the agent from whom it was
purchased; (II) the product has been purchased by an end user and has not used for commercial purposes; (III) the product has not been misused, handled
carelessly, or used in a manner other than in accordance with the instructions provided describing its installation and proper use. This warranty does not confer
rights other than those expressly set out above and does not cover any claims for consequential loss or damage. This warranty is offered as an extra benefit and
does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. This warranty is voided if the product comes in contact with aggressive chemical, chemical agents or other
improper liquids or solids.
EK blocks are sealed with warranty void circular label, which proves that the block has withstood a pressure leak test. Removing it will void leak-free guarantee
and not the guarantee on the product itself. Any other RMA issues can be reported to EK Support at
