STEP 3
CLEANING THE PCB
Wipe off the remains of the original thermal compound using a nonabrasive
cloth or Q-tip, as shown in the sample image, until the components and circuit
board are completely clean. EK recommends the use of denatured alcohol for
removing TIM leftovers. After that, remove all remaining stock thermal pads
from the PCB.
STEP 1
Your GPU water block comes with thermal pads that have to be cut into small-
er pieces to cover all the VRM components, such as COILs, MOSFETs, and
drivers.
You must remove the protective foil from both sides of the ther-
mal pad before installation.
