EK-Quantum

Velocity² - AM5 Backplate

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:

Please carefully read the manual before beginning the

installation process.

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-Cryo Fuel coolants.

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

you will not reach optimal performance.

PREPARING THE AM4 WATER BLOCK FOR UPGRADE

Important! Before starting, make sure to have a clean, ﬂat

surface to work on. It is recommended to put foam or soft

material to lay a motherboard on.

STEP 1

If the EK-Quantum Velocity2 AM4 water block is already installed,

remove the backplate from the motherboard’s backside using Allen

Key 2.5 mm (As shown in the picture).

STEP 2

Detach the water block from the motherboard and save it for later

steps. Clean the CPU cold plate using a non-abrasive cloth or Q-tip.

STEP 5

Applying thermal compound: Apply the enclosed 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

in thickness over the entire surface of the IHS.

The excessive or uneven application of thermal grease

may lead to poor performance!

STEP 3

With EK-Velocity² series water blocks, it is mandatory to use the

bottom port as the INLET.

Mixing the ports may result in poor thermal performance of the

water block.

Tighten the ﬁttings in a clockwise direction until the gasket

underneath is compressed. The installation of the Velocity² water

block is now complete.

STEP 2

Secure the water block from the backside of the motherboard using

the included Allen Key 2.5mm.

Start fastening the screws in a cross pattern. Do not tighten fully until

all of the screws are partially screwed in.

The Allen Key 2.5mm must be used in a standing position! Otherwise,

the mounting screws may crack during tightening!

Make sure to orientate the backplate as illustrated. Incorrect
