MAINTENANCE
In order to obtain the best performance through
whole lifespan of the product it is crucial to follow
these maintenance tips:
TIP 1: DUST REMOVAL
It is mandatory to remove the dust every
2-3 months
. EK recommends to
use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to blow the dust away. The most
dusty is usually the radiator so pay special attention to that. Do not forget
to turn off the computer and unplug the power supply. It is recommended to
remove the dust outside.
TIP 2: CHECKING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Once a year
you should check the pump and the fans, if they are running as
they should. The pump and fans must run silently without any rattling noises
and must react to PWM duty cycle changes. All imperfections may lead to
overheating and breakdown.
TIP 3: CLEANING THE UNIT (RELATED TO CHAPTER
TROUBLESHOOTING)
Every year
the unit should be thoroughly cleaned. You must let all the cool-
ant out (Page 30). The radiator must be flushed and the pump checked and
cleaned. It is recommended to change the tubing.
TIP 4: USE EK DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED PARTS
ONLY
It is recommended to use only genuine EK Water Blocks liquid cooling gear, parts
and add-ons to prevent any performance, compatibility and warranty issues.

STEP 2
Measure the length of the tube that is needed to connect the CPU to GPU
water block and the GPU water block to the reservoir. You can use a pair of
scissors or a knife to cut the tube.
You may need additional tubing to connect the water block.
Attach the tube onto the both fitting barbs until it sits firmly. Secure the fitting
compression ring to make the assembly complete. Check again that all of the
tubing is secured by compression fittings as intended. If it is not, please repeat
STEP 1 to STEP 5 of chapter CONNECTING THE TUBING.
