STEP 4: ATTACHING EK-FC R9-290X SE BACKPLATE TO THE GRAPHICS CARD
Take enclosed mounting screws and install them as shown on picture below. Use four (5) M3x8 DIN7991 and one (1) M3x10 DIN7991 with M3 nut
(see picture below).
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 SE 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

for further analysis.
