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 RTX

3080/3090 water block according to its installation manual.

In case the water block is already installed, remove the ﬁve (5) AX1

screws and their PVC washers, as shown in the image.

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

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

(2) 15x1 O-rings, on the EK-Quantum Vector RTX 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 RTX 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!

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

as illustrated below.

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.

You must remove the protective foil from both sides of the

thermal pad before installation.

Replacement thermal pads:

3x Thermal PAD G 1.0 mm - (120 x 24 mm) – EAN: 33830046996770

1x Thermal PAD G 1.5 mm - (120 x 24 mm) – EAN: 3830046996787

STEP 4

REMOVING THE TERMINAL METAL PLATE

The Metal plate attached on the Terminal is meant as a precaution,

to secure the two O-rings to prevent them from falling out of their

sockets during transport and handling. Before the installation of

the Active Backplate, this metal plate has to be removed. Unscrew

the three(3) M4 x 27 DIN7984 screws with the provided 2.5mm

Allen Key shown on the picture. Keep the screws as they will be

needed in the upcoming step, unlike the metal plate which will not

be needed anymore.

Place the active backplate on the PCB and make sure all holes are

aligned. Position an M2.5X7 AX1 screw into each of the ﬁve (5)

mounting holes (as shown in the image) and tighten them evenly

with a Phillips head screwdriver.

To avoid using excessive force, you can easily loosen up the three

(3) M4 x 27 7984DIN screws pre-installed on the terminal, but be

careful that two (2) 15x1 O-rings remain in their terminal slots.

Also, do not forget to tighten the three (3) loosed M4 x 27 7984DIN

screws back after attaching the Active Backplate.

Then, position the three (3) M4 x 27 7984DIN screws that were

detached from the GPU water block terminal into each of the three

(3) mounting holes (as shown in the image) and tighten them evenly

with the provided 2.5mm Allen Key.

Do not use excessive force!

CAUTION: When placing the Active Backplate on the PCB,

the two inserted 15x1 O-rings must remain inside their

terminal slots. Wrongly positioned O-rings can cause leaks!
