USER GUIDE

GPU WATER BLOCK

EK-Quantum

Vector FTW3 RTX 3080/3090

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

Please carefully read the manual before beginning with the

installation process!

Please remove your graphics card from the computer to

assure safest mounting process in order to prevent any

possible damages to your GPU and/or graphics card 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!

Make sure to thoroughly bleed air out of your water block, or

you will not reach optimal performance!

PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD

STEP 1

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 when installing the EK-Quantum

Vector FTW3 RTX 3080/3090 water block onto your graphics card.

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

STEP 2

- 8 -

STEP 1

Your GPU water block comes with thermal pads that have to be cut

into smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components, such as COILs,

MOSFETs, and drivers.

You must remove the protective foil from both sides of the

thermal pad before installation.

Replacement thermal pads:

STEP 2

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

illustrated below. EK made sure to provide you with more than an

adequate quantity of thermal pads to complete this Step

Thermal Grease

STEP 1

Apply the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease (thermal

compound) on the CPU 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:

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

STEP 1

PLACING THE BLOCK ON THE GRAPHICS CARD

This procedure is the same for all full-cover water blocks.

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 (same

applies to other tops).

Pay attention not to use too much force when pressing

the block down to the PCB since chip dies are prone

to cracking.

STEP 1

- 10 -

For this Step, you will need:

M 2.5 PVC Washer

(17 pcs)

M2.5 x 4 AX1

(17 pcs)

Phillips Head

Screwdriver

4 mm

STEP 2

M2.5 x 4 AX1 SCREW

M2.5 PVC WASHER

STEP 2

ATTACHING THE BLOCK TO THE GRAPHICS CARD

Use seventeen (17) M2.5 X 4 AX1 screws and M2.5 PVC washers.

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 damaging the

GPU. Always use a plastic washer under each screw!

CHECKING FOR CONTACT

If necessary, temporarily remove the water block to check for uniform

surface contact between the block and components. Pay special

attention to the VRM section of the graphics card. Check whether

the water block makes contact with the intended integrated circuit.

Then repeat Steps from the previous section to re-attach the block.

In case you fail to obtain good contact, please check

again or contact our support service at
