This product is intended for installation only by expert users. Please consult

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 before beginning 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
achieve optimal performance!

INSTALLING AND ATTACHING THE WATER BLOCK
STEP 1
Install your EK-Quantum Velocity2 1700 water block in the illustrated
orientation and place the motherboard on a secure flat surface. Using the
enclosed EK-Loop Multi Key, install two (2) Extenders M12F and two (2) torque
push-in fixation fittings to the pre-installed VRM block and CPU block (as
shown in the image).
Do not use excessive force while tightening the fittings.
For this step, you will need:
STEP 2
Unscrew the one (1) M4 x 18 DIN7991 screw using the enclosed 2.5mm Allen key
and remove it from the block.
Save the screw for later step.
For this step, you will need:
STEP 3
Slide the Plexi away from the black acetal stand-out with stainless steel
fixation plate until it stops (approximately at 3 mm)
STEP 4
Before attempting to mount the water block, apply a small amount of the
supplied grease to each of the four (4) O-Rings on the fixation fittings.
Next, position the water block over the fixation fittings and force it into
place evenly.
For this step, you will need:
STEP 5
Push the plexi plate back to its original position and screw back the one (1)
M4 x 18 DIN7991 screw that was removed in Step 2.
Do not use excessive force while tightening the screw!
For this step, you will need:
STEP 6
With the EK-Quantum Momentum2 VRM Bridge ROG Maximus Z690 Formula D-RGB 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.
STEP 7
Plug the 3-pin D-RGB connector from the bridge block in a D-RGB header on your
motherboard or controller. The LED strip will only work if the pin layout on
the header is as follows: +5V, Digital, Empty, Ground.
Incorrect installation or installation of the incorrect header could result in damage to the LED strip or the header itself.
