INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

• STEP 1
  Unscrew the pre-installed backplate from the backside of the CPU using an Allen Key 2.5 mm and save it for the later steps.

• STEP 2
  Before placing the water block, it is mandatory to remove the protective foil from the backside.

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

• STEP 1
  Unscrew the pre-installed backplate from the backside of the CPU using an Allen Key 2.5 mm and save it for the later steps.

• STEP 2
  Before placing the water block, it is mandatory to remove the protective foil from the backside.

• STEP 3
  Position the CPU Water Block onto the Motherboard. Make sure to align the holes (as shown in the picture).
  Make sure to double check the layer of the Thermal Grease before placing the water block onto the motherboard.

• STEP 4
  After placing the water block, the stored backplate must be attached on the backside of the motherboard using Allen Key 2.5 mm (shown in the picture).
  Start fastening the backplate screws in a cross pattern. Do not tighten fully until all of the nuts are partially screwed in. The Allen Key 2.5mm must be used in a standing position! Otherwise, the mounting screws may crack during tighteening!
  EK recommends using the EK-Loop Torque Screwdriver – 0.6Nm : https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-loop-torque-screwdriver-0-6nm

• STEP 5
  With EK-Velocity2 series water blocks, 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 clockwise direction until the gasket underneath is compressed.
  The installation of the Velocity2 water block is now complete.

CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP

• STEP 1
  Plug the 3 Pin connector from the water block’s D-RGB LED light to the DRGB HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Digital, empty, Ground.
  Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector is plugged into the +5V line as indicated on your motherboard. If you put the LED Diode to the 12V RGB HEADER you can damage the LEDs. Failure to do so will damage your motherboard or LED strip.
