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 website at www.ekwb.com for updates.
Before installation of this product please read the important notice,
disclosure, and warranty conditions printed on the back of the box.
Before you start using this product, please follow these basic guidelines:
Please carefully read the manual thoroughly before beginning the installation
process!
Please remove your motherboard from the computer to assure the safest mounting
process in order to prevent any possible damages to your CPU and/or
motherboard’s circuit board (PCB).
The EK-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.
The use of quality, market-proven corrosion inhibiting coolants is always
strongly recommended for any liquid cooling system.

PREPARING THE MOTHERBOARD
STEP 1 REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER
Important! Before starting, make sure to have a clean, flat surface to
work on. It is recommended to put foam or soft material to lay the motherboard
and the water block on.
Additional five (5) screws and three (3) standoffs must be removed in order to
remove the original stock cooler above and below the CPU placement.
After removing the screws and standoffs, carefully detach the stock cooler and
pre-applied thermal pads. EK provides replacement thermal pads with the water
block (Chapter:
CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS).
Save the screws and standoffs for later use ( Chapter: ATTACHING THE WATER
BLOCK).
CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS
STEP 1
EK-Quantum Momentum 2 Pro WS W790-ACE
– Full Metal water block comes with Thermal Pads that have to be cut into
smaller pieces to cover all the regulation area (Mosfet) on the motherboard.
EK made sure to provide you with more than an adequate quantity of Thermal
Pads to complete this Step.
In case you are using processors Sapphire RapidsSP XCC, Sapphire Rapids-
112L XCC, Sapphire Rapids+HBM XCC or Airport Cove TTV use 2mm thermal pads
provided by EKWB. However if you are using Sapphire Rapids-SP MCC, Sapphire
RapidsMSWS MCC you need to first place the 1mm thermal pads and then equally
cut 2 mm thermal pads on top of them. Before placing the 1 mm thermal pad
remove the foil from just one side. When in place carefully remove the foil
from other side as well.
Please remove the protective foil from both sides of the thermal pads
prior to installation!
Replacement thermal pads: Option 1
3x Thermal PAD G 2.0 mm – (120 x 24 mm) EAN: 3830046996794
For this step, you will need:
Replacement thermal pads: Option 2
3x Thermal PAD G 1.0 mm – (120 x 24 mm) EAN: 3830046996770 + 3x Thermal PAD G
2.0 mm – (120 x 24 mm) EAN: 3830046996794
APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND
STEP 1
Apply the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease (thermal compound) on the
CPU heat spreader – IHS – as shown in the image. The layer of the thermal
compound must be thin and even in thickness over the entire surface of the
IHS.
**** The excessive or uneven application of thermal grease may lead to poor
performance!
For this step, you will need:
PREPARING THE WATER BLOCK FOR INSTALLATION
STEP 1
Block needs to be installed without the aluminium top cover. Remove the
aluminium top cover and place it carefully on a clean surface.
ATTACHING THE WATER BLOCK
STEP 1
Carefully place the water block onto the motherboard and align four (4)
mounting nuts with four (4) mounting screws on the motherboard.
**** Before placing the Water Block on the motherboard, make sure all the
Thermal Pads are placed correctly and you applied the thermal grease!
(Chapter: Cutting and placing thermal pads).
STEP 2
When you mounted the water block in place push the clips to the sides to its
final position as seen in the following picture.
Take the TORX key provided by EKWB and tighten all 4 nuts in described order.
**** Before placing the Water Block on the motherboard, make sure all the
Thermal Pads are placed correctly! (Chapter: Cutting and placing thermal
pads).
STEP 3
Tighten the water block using five (5) ek provided AX1 M2.5 x 5 screws and
five (5) washers. Do not use excessive force!
EK recommends using the EK-Loop Torque Screwdriver – 0.6Nm:
https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-loop-torque-screwdriver-0-6nm.
For this step, you will need:
STEP 4
With the EK-Quantum Momentum 2 Pro WS W790-ACE – Full Metal water block, it is
mandatory to use the bottom port as the INLET. Mixing the ports may result in
poor thermal performance of the water block.
Tighten the fittings in a clockwise direction until the gasket underneath is
compressed.
The installation of the water block is now complete.
TESTING THE LOOP
To make sure the installation of EK components was successful, we recommend
you perform a leak test for 24 hours. When your loop is complete and filled
with coolant, connect the pump to a PSU outside of your system. Do not connect
power to any of the ther
components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump run continuously. It is normal
for the coolant level to drop during this process as aircollects in the
distribution plate. Inspect all parts of the loop, and in the eventuality,
that coolant leaks, fix the issue and repeat the testing process. Ensure that
all hardware is dry before the system is powered on in order to prevent any
damage.
