STEP6:
Cleaning the CPU: Wipe the CPU’s contact surface (by using non–abrasive
cloth or Q-tip, as shown on sample photo).
Applying thermal compound:
EK recommends blob or line method of applying
the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal compound to the CPU heat spreader
(IHS) - see sample photo on right.
The quantity of about two rice grains is just about right. There is no
need to cover the whole IHS. Applying too much thermal grease will
have negative impact on the cooling performance!
STEP 7:
Align the water block over the mounting screws on the LGA-115x motherboard
with pre-installed CPU.
Before proceeding with the installation It is mandatory to remove the
protective foil from the backside of the water block.
Place an enclosed coiled spring and thumb nut over each M4 thumb screw.
Start fastening two thumb nuts at a time, preferably in cross pattern and do not
tighten them fully until all of them are partially screwed in. Then – using your
fingers only screw in all four thumb nuts until you reach the end of the thread.
CPU Module installation is now complete. Continue to page 22 for connecting
the module with QDC.
Starting up your computer
Before you add the power to your computer please check if every-
thing is installed according to the installation manual.
Turn on your computer. When turning on the computer check that the
temperatures of the CPU are normal. It is best practice to enter BIOS/
UEFI and check hardware health monitoring section on initial boot!
