USER GUIDE

EK-Quantum

Vector FE RTX 3090 D-RGB 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 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.

EK only guarantees compatibility with included EK-brand

thermal pads. The installation process, cooling performance,

and block contacts are tested exclusively with EK-brand

thermal pads. Listed thermal pad thicknesses apply only to

those included in the package.

EK does not guarantee compatibility with aftermarket

alternatives for thermal interface material.

For this Step, you will need:

PREPARING THE 3090 FE WATER BLOCK

STEP 1

Unscrew the three (3) M3x12 DIN7991 screws and remove the backplate

cover, as shown in the image..

For this Step, you will need:

STEP 2

After removing the backplate cover, four (4) backplate screws

needs to be removed. Detach the backplate as shown in the image.

Preinstalled thermal pads on the PCB also must be

detached. After removing the thermal pads, pre-applied

thermal grease also needs to be removed using a

nonabrasive cloth or Q-tip. EK recommends the use of

denatured alcohol for removing TIM leftovers.

STEP 3

EK-Quantum Vector FE 3090 Active Backplate comes with its own

terminal, meaning the original terminal on the EK-Quantum Vector

FE 3090 water block must be removed.

In case the EK-Quantum Vector FE 3090 water block is

already ﬁlled with coolant, empty the contents of the

water block before continuing with this step. Be careful

that the coolant that remained in the water block does

not contact the GPU!

For this Step, you will need:

Allen Key 2.5 mm

STEP 1

Your Active Backplate comes with thermal pads that must be cut into

smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components. EK has included

more than enough thermal pads to complete the following Step(s).

ATTACHING THE BACKPLATE

STEP 1

For easier installation of the Active Backplate, the preinstalled

terminal and metal plate must be removed. Unscrew the two (2)

Terminal screws (as shown in the image) and remove the terminal.

Save the mention material for later use.
