These products are intended for installation by expert users only. Please

consult with a qualiﬁed technician for installation. Improper installation

may result in damage to your equipment. EK Water Blocks assumes no

liability whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products,

nor their installation. The following instructions are subject to change

without notice. Please visit our web site at www.ekwb.com for updates.

Before installation of this product please read all important notices,

disclosures and warranty conditions printed on the back of the box.

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

Read the entire manual before you start installation!

Please remove your motherboard from the computer to ensure the

safest possible mounting process and to prevent the possibility of

damage to your GPU or any printed circuit boards (PCB’s).

EK-Quantum Torque ﬁttings require only a small amount of force

to screw them ﬁrmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured by

compression of the rubber O-ring gaskets and not the thread itself.

Only G1/4 ﬁttings with a parallel thread should be used (1/4” BSPP),

maximum thread engagement is strictly 5.75mm!

The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants are always recommended

for any liquid cooling system.

Do not use pure distilled water! For best results EK recommends the

use of EK-CryoFuel coolants!

Make sure to thoroughly bleed air out of your CPU Water Block or

you will not achieve optimal performance!

PARTS AND TERMINOLOGY

The following page shows every individual part of an assembled

Magnitude CPU Water Block, all of the terminology labelled is used

throughout this manual. In addition, there is a list of every physical

variation of these parts and which versions they are used in. While

some parts may be physically cross compatible between different

Magnitude CPU Water Blocks, they should be assembled as stated

for optimal performance. Material, ﬁnish and color variations are not

listed as it does not affect ﬁtment or performance.

Magnitude CPU Water Blocks which do not feature a D-RGB LED

Strip are assembled with a fourth O-Ring between the Top and

Accent, this is not used to seal the assembly! It may be exchanged

with an LED Strip when adding the D-RGB Accent. Note that the LED

Strip connector does not ﬁt through the hole in the Frame!

STEP 1

CHANGING THE COLDPLATE

Original Magnitude Coldplates have a subtle curvature to achieve

the best possible contact with the IHS of standard CPU’s. If you

choose to replace or modify the IHS it is also possible to replace

the Coldplate of your Magnitude with a Flat version. To install the

Flat Coldplate or to re-install your original Curved Coldplate follow

these instructions:

STEP 1

Unscrew the four Screws from the bottom of the CPU Water Block in

an anticlockwise direction and remove the Coldplate. A 2.5mm Allen

(hex) key is supplied for this.

STEP 2

Replace the Jet Plate according to the table below, ensure that it is

correctly aligned in the Insert and the O-Rings remain in position

STEP 1

CHANGING THE ACCENT

It is possible to exchange the Accent on any Magnitude CPU Water

Block for an Accent with a different color or material ﬁnish. A

translucent D-RGB Accent can also be used to add lighting to any

version of Magnitude with an opaque Top.

STEP 1

Unscrew the four Screws from the bottom of the CPU Water Block

in an anticlockwise direction, remove the Frame, Coldplate and LED

Strip if installed. A 2.5mm Allen (hex) key is supplied for this. If an

LED Strip is already installed and you do not wish to change where

the cable exits then it does not need to be removed from the Frame.

STEP 3

Put the desired Coldplate in place paying attention to the orientation,

failure to do so will prevent installation of the Screws. The curvature

marking should be on the same side as the curvature marking of the

Frame. Lastly screw in the four Screws, do not use excessive force!

STEP 2

Remove and replace the Accent. The Accent can ﬁt in any orientation.

STEP 3

STEP 3 (WITHOUT LED STRIP)

If applicable reﬁt the O-Ring between the Top and Accent. This is not

required for operation of the block but ensures the Accent is tightly

ﬁtted without an LED Strip.

STEP 3

STEP 3 (WITH LED STRIP)

First insert the LED Strip though the desired corner of the Frame and

then ﬁt the LED Strip between the Top and Accent. When using a

Plexi Top the LED Strip should face inwards. When using an Acetal

or Nickel Top the LED Strip should face outwards.

STEP 4

Position the Frame on the Top paying attention to the orientation,

failure to do so will prevent installation of the Screws. The curvature

marking should be in line with the Jet Plate opening as illustrated.

Ensure that the Jet Plate is still aligned in the Insert and the O-Rings

remain in position.
