Vector² Trio RTX 3070 Ti D-RGB

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 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).

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!

To reach optimal performance, make sure to thoroughly

bleed the air out of your water block!

PREPARING THE WATER BLOCK FOR INSTALLATION

STEP 1

Unscrew six (6) Screws M2.5 x 8 AX1. Remove the backplate

together with six (6) Screws M2.5 x 8 AX1 and backplate standoffs.

Standoffs must stay on Screws M2.5 x 8 AX1. Remove cardboard.

Save the backplate for later steps.

Do not remove standoffs from screws! In case the

standoff detaches from the screw, replace it with a

spare one. When replacing the standoff make sure

that you screw it on the AX1 M2.5 x 8 screws. Do not

push the standoff onto the screw AX1 M2.5 x 8!

STEP 1

For this step, you will need:

Phillips Head Screwdriver

PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD

REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER

Place your graphics card on the flat surface and carefully remove

the stock cooler. Do not forget to unplug all the LED and fan

connectors. Pay attention to the following steps in order to install

the EK-Quantum Vector2 Trio RTX 3070 Ti water block onto the

graphics card.

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS

Thermal Pad G – 1.5 mm (120 x 24 mm)

120 mm

24 mm

1.5 mm

Your EK-Quantum Vector2TRIO RTX 3070 Ti D-RGB block 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.

CAUTION: You must remove the protective foil from both

sides of the thermal pad before installation.

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

For this step, you will need:

Scissors

Thermal Pad F – 1.0 mm (120 x 16 mm)

16 mm

1 mm

STEP 2

The cardboard is printed in scale 1:1. Cut Thermal Pads to the

size printed on the cardboard. Once cut to the size, Thermal Pads

should be placed on the GPU PCB, as shown in the picture.

Thermal Grease

STEP 1

Apply the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease (thermal

compound) on the GPU heat spreader – IHS – as shown in the

image. The layer of the thermal compound must be thin and even

over the entire surface of the IHS.

The excessive or uneven application of thermal grease

may lead to poor performance!

STEP 1

APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

For this step, you will need:

ATTACHING THE WATER BLOCK

STEP 1

Carefully position the water block with preinstalled standoffs on

the graphics card. During this process, make sure you have aligned

mounting holes of the PCB with holes of the water block.

Before placing the Water Block, make sure all the Thermal

Pads are placed correctly!

STEP 1

M2.5 PVC WASHER

Screws must be present in the places marked on the picture.

For this step, you will need:

Phillips Head Screwdriver

STEP 2

Use six (6) M2.5 x 4 AX1 Screws and PVC washers to tighten the

PCB on the water block. Tighten the screws evenly using the

Phillips head screwdriver.

EK recommends you start tightening the screws around the GPU core

ﬁrst, and then continuing outward to prevent damage to the GPU.
