STEP 4: ATTACHING EK-FC970 GTX BACKPLATE TO THE GRAPHICS CARD
Take enclosed mounting screws and install them as shown on picture below. EKWB recommends users to start with four (4) M3x8 DIN 7991 (HINT:
do not tighten screws until they are all positioned in their mounting holes) in the middle of the card and then continue outwards. 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. Please use the enclosed Allen Key 2mm to tighten the screws.
(By all means users must also consider that this product is intended to be used only with EK-FC970 GTX series water blocks. No other 3
rd
party heat
sinks or coolers are supported!)
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
For Palit / Gainward- and other non-reference circuit board design – please use
0.5mm PVC washers
underneath each backplate standoff to
prevent backplate collision with tantalum capacitors or other circuit board components. When using 0.5mm washers it is
mandatory to use 1mm
thermal pad
on memory IC (if present) instead of 0.5mm (as shown in STEP 3).
