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 starting 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).

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 GRAPHICS CARD

STEP 1

REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER

OPTION 1 – GPU Versions Without a Backplate

Some versions of this GPU don’t have a backplate (e.g., EVGA GeForce

RTX 3080 XC3 BLACK GAMING).

Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the eleven marked screws

and the Stock Cooler Backplate from the backside of the GPU. You do

not have to remove the unmarked I/O Bracket screw.

Carefully detach the PCB from the stock cooler and disconnect all

cables connecting the stock cooler to the PCB.

Always remove the stock cooler slowly - it might be ﬁrmly

glued to the PCB with thermal pads.

You will need the following tool:

Phillips Head Screwdriver

STEP 2

CLEANING THE PCB

Wipe off the remains of the original thermal compound using a

nonabrasive cloth or Q-tip, as shown in the sample image, until the

components and circuit board are completely clean. EK recommends

the use of denatured alcohol for removing TIM leftovers. After that,

remove all remaining stock thermal pads from the PCB.

OPTION 2 – GPU Versions With a Backplate

Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the twelve marked screws

and the Stock Cooler Backplate from the backplate’s side.

Carefully detach the PCB from the stock cooler and the backplate, and

disconnect all cables connecting the stock cooler to the PCB.

Always remove the stock cooler slowly - it might be ﬁrmly

glued to the PCB with thermal pads.

PREPARING THE WATER BLOCK FOR INSTALLATION

STEP 1

First, remove the terminal badge which is attached to the terminal

with two magnets. Under the badge, unscrew three (3) screws

M4x20 DIN7984. Additional eight (8) screws M3x10 AX1 need to be

removed (as shown in the image).

DO NOT REMOVE THE UPPER TERMINAL BADGE!

STEP 1

STEP 2

Carefully remove the complete active backplate with the terminal.

Additional two (2) O-rings 14 x 1 EPDM50 need to be removed.
