Step 5.
Place the graphic card on the inverted water block and attach it with enclosed screws as shown in
picture 5. For perfect thermal contact, the block does not use a spring mounting system; therefore
when attaching be very careful to tighten all screws equally. If the screws are tightened too much, the
graphic card board will distort and may be damaged.
To prevent warping of card please use enclosed standoffs and apply them as shown on
picture 4 above (prior to aligning standoffs with mounting holes, please apply some
thermal grease around the thread to prevent standoffs falling off).
Use enclosed screws like shown on picture below:
M3 x 8 screws

Step 6. Remove the block and check for contact surface. Then repeat steps 3 and 4. And apply more
or less pressure on area where you have found it necessary.
Step 7. Connecting the water-block(s) to the cooling circuit and attaching the tubes:
The EK-FC 4890LT series are usually sold with enclosed high flow fittings. To secure the tubes stays
properly on the fittings please use hose clamps or appropriate substitute. The use of an algaecide is
nonetheless recommended in any liquid cooling system.
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).
