STEP 5: POSITIONING FITTINGS AND CONNECTING TO WATER CIRCUIT
For the EK-FB GA X99 Ultra Monoblock series water block to operate properly the G1/4 port nearest to the right edge of the water block MUST BE USED AS THE INLET PORT. EK recommends the use of EK-ACF
fittings. When using fittings other than EK-ACF series please use hose clamps or appropriate substitute to secure the tubing to the barb. The use of biocide containing and corrosion inhibiting coolant is always
recommended for any liquid cooling system.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
scissors
philips screwdriver
thermal grease
PLACING MONOBLOCK ON THE MOTHERBOARD:
From the backside there is a protective sticker which covers the mounting
holes for the water block. You should take a pointy object (small
screwdriver) and punch 4 holes through it (see picture on the left). Be
careful not to damage the PCB.
Place the monoblock with preinstalled standoffs gently to the motherboard
or vice versa. Make sure that mounting holes are aligned.
You mustn’t forget to install two (2) self-adhesive PVC washers under each
standoff if the stock-glued washers are not present on the PCB.
Be careful not to double the washers!!!
The locations are shown on the picture on the left. Skip to STEP 4 on how
to fasten the Monoblock to the motherboard using the enclosed screws and
washers.
PLACING PCH HEATSINK ON THE MOTHERBOARD:
Carefully remove the protective foil from preapplied TIM on heatsink and
place it on the motherboard.
