Product Usage Instructions
Installing the Water Block:
-
STEP 1:
If already installed, please remove the motherboard from your computer and place it on an even surface. -
STEP 2:
Cleaning the CPU: Wipe the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) clean using a non-abrasive cloth or Q-tip as shown in the illustration. -
STEP 3:
Applying thermal compound: Once clean, apply a line of Thermal Compound on one edge of the IHS and use a credit card or similar to spread it evenly. The layer of Thermal Compound must be thin and even in thickness over the entire surface of the IHS. Excessive or irregular application may lead to poor performance. -
STEP 4:
Align the water block properly on the motherboard. The screws are not positioned in a square pattern. Before proceeding with the installation, it is mandatory to remove the protective foil from the backside of the water block. Start fastening two mounting screws at a time, preferably in a cross-pattern, and do not tighten them fully until all of them are partially screwed in. Then, using the Allen Key 2.5 mm, screw in all four mounting screws until you reach the end of the thread.
Fittings and Tubing:
To connect the water block to the cooling system, use EK-HFB 10 mm BARB
FITTING. Secure the tubing with TUBING CLAMPS to prevent leaks.
Testing the Loop:
After installing the water block and connecting it to the cooling system,
it is recommended to test the loop for any leaks. Fill the loop with the
recommended coolant and run the system for a short period of time to check for
leaks or any other issues.
FAQ
Do I need to use corrosion-inhibiting coolants for this water block?
Yes, it is always recommended to use corrosion-inhibiting coolants for liquid
cooling systems, and it is mandatory for nickel-plated water blocks.
Can I use pure distilled water with this water block?
No, it is not recommended to use pure distilled water. For best results, EK
recommends the use of EK-CryoFuel coolants.
How do I bleed air out of the water block?
To bleed air out of your water block, make sure to thoroughly fill and bleed
your cooling loop according to the instructions provided with your cooling
system. Failure to do so may result in suboptimal performance.
Please note the installation of the product is intended to be undertaken by an adequately trained and experienced person. You are installing the product at your own risk. If you are not properly trained or experienced or feel unsure about the installation procedure, please refrain from installing the product yourself and contact our tech support for assistance. We disclaim our liability for any damages to the product as well as incidental, consequential, or indirect damages incurred due to improper or inappropriate installation.
Before you start using this product, please follow these basic guidelines:
- Carefully read the manual before beginning with the installation process.
- 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 corrosion-inhibiting coolants is always recommended for liquid cooling systems, and mandatory for nickel-plated water blocks!
- Do not use pure distilled water! For best results, EK recommends the use of EK-CryoFuel coolants.
- Make sure to thoroughly bleed air out of your water block, or you will not reach optimal performance.

FITTINGS AND TUBING
- STEP 1
EK recommends the use of EK-HFB 10 mm barb fittings and EK-Tube ZMT 10/16 mm Matte Black tubing. The INLET port is on the right side of the water block. The installation of the CPU water block is now complete.
TESTING THE LOOP
- To ensure the installation of EK components was successful, we recommend you perform a 24-hour leak test.
- 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 other components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump run continuously.
- Inspect all parts of the loop, and in the eventuality that the 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.
