USER GUIDE

EK-Quantum

Vector Strix RTX 3080/3090 Active Backplate

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

consult with a qualiﬁed technician. Improper installation may result

in damage to your equipment. EK assumes no liability whatsoever,

expressed or implied, for the use of this product or its installation. The

following instructions are subject to change without notice. Please, read

the manual carefully before beginning with the installation process. For

updates, you can visit our ofﬁcial website www.ekwb.com.

Before you start using this product, please follow these basic guidelines:

Carefully read the manual before beginning with the

installation process.

Remove your graphics card from the computer for the safest

mounting process to prevent any possible damage to your

GPU or its circuit board (PCB).

EK Fittings require only a small amount of force to screw

them ﬁrmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured with the

rubber O-ring gaskets.

The use of quality market-proven corrosion-inhibiting

coolants is always strongly recommended for any liquid

cooling system.

Do not use pure distilled water as a cooling liquid! For best

results, EK recommends the use of EK-CryoFuel Coolants.

Make sure to bleed air out of your water block thoroughly in

order to reach optimal performance.

INSTALLING THE ACTIVE BACKPLATE

STEP 1

PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD

First, complete the installation of your EK-Quantum Vector Strix RTX

3080/3090 water block according to its installation manual. In case

the water block is already installed, remove the six (6) AX1 screws

and their PVC washers, as shown in the image.

Phillips Head Screwdriver

For this Step, you will need:

- 8 -

EK-Quantum Vector Strix RTX 3080/3090 Active Backplate comes

with its own terminal, meaning the original terminal, along with two

(2) 15 x 1 O-rings, on the EK-Quantum Vector Strix 3080/3090 water

block has to be removed.

Unscrew the three (3) M4 x 27 DIN7984 screws and detach the

terminal from the water block.

The procedure of terminal detachment is shown in the image.

Attention!

In case the EK-Quantum Vector Strix 3080/3090 water

block is already ﬁlled with coolant, empty the content

of the water block before continuing with this step. Be

careful that the coolant that remained in the water block

does not come in contact with the GPU!

STEP 2

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS

Your backplate comes with thermal pads that have to be cut into

smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components. EK made sure to

provide you with more than an adequate quantity of thermal pads to

complete this Step-s.

Replacement thermal pads:

Thermal PAD F 1.0 mm – (120 x 16 mm) – EAN: 3830046996732

Thermal PAD G 1.5 mm – (120 x 24 mm) – EAN: 3830046996787

STEP 3

Once cut to size, thermal pads should be placed on the backplate/

PCB, as illustrated below.

First, place the thermal pads on to the PCB as illustatrated.
