Installation and mounting manual for
EK-XTOP D5 (Original CSQ)
This product is intended for installation only by expert users. Please consult with a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation may result in damage to your equipment. EK Water Blocks assumes no liability
whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products, nor their installation. The following instructions are subject to change without notice. Please visit our web site at
installation of this product please read important notice, disclosure and warranty conditions printed on the back of the box.
Before you start using this product please follow these basic guidelines:
1.
Please carefully read the manual before through before beginning with the installation process!
2.
The EK High Flow and EK-PSC type fittings require only a small amount of force to screw them firmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured by the rubber o-ring gaskets.
3.
The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.
STEP 1: PREPARING THE PUMP
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE XTOP
Unscrew the ribbed threaded ring that attaches the Laing pump’s
original factory top and the main pump core housing with motor.
Store the original top, the original o-ring gasket and the attaching
ring in a safe place.
1.
Install the EK-XTOP D5 on to the pump main
motor housing.
Make sure you install EK
provided 61x3mm o-ring gasket!
Reseat
the gasket if needed.
You can rotate the pump and use it in any
direction to best suit your installation
2.
Secure the XTOP D5 using enclosed M4x16
DIN7380 screws with the enclosed Allen
(hex) key. Do not over tighten the screws as
excessive force may strip the threading.
3.
Attach the mounting plate on the bottom of
the pump top using the two enclosed
countersunk M4x10 DIN7991 screws.
STEP 3: ATTACHING FITTINGS
Screw in the fittings in the G1/4 threaded openings on plastic top of the water block. EKWB recommends using EK-PSC fittings
with the EK-XTOP D5 series pump tops. To ensure that the tubes are securely attached to the barb/fittings, please use hose
clamps or an appropriate substitute.
It is mandatory to use the correct INLET and OUTLET ports:
1.
The OUTLET (pressure port) is the G1/4 threaded opening on the side of the pump top housing. Additional OUTLET port
is located on the upper right edge of the pump’s front plate. Please refer to the picture on the right!
2.
The INLET port (suction port) is the central G1/4 threaded opening on the EK-XTOP D5 front face plane. Please refer to
the picture on the right!
Use reservoir to feed the pump in order to prime it

This water pump & EK-XTOP D5 combo can be used in any mounting configuration (position) apart from being
mounted upside down!
Mounting the pump upside down may result in pump running dry and eventually lead to
premature failure of the pump!
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 tap 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.
