EK Water Blocks bears the name of its founder Edvard König, who

started experimenting with liquid cooling in 1999. From the humble be-

ginnings in the early years of the previous decade, the company grew

steadily to become a global premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer.

Today, EKWB offers a complete range of products for liquid cooling,

from a renowned Supremacy line of CPU water blocks, to a wide range

of CoolStream radiators, from in-house developed Vardar High pressure

fans, to market-proven DDC series of liquid cooling pumps and thus

provides overclocking enthusiasts and PC builders with the best of what

the market can offer. EK-KIT X cooling solution is the next step to bring

extreme liquid cooling performance in the hands of dedicated gamers

and PC enthusiasts around the world.

DOZEN GOOD ADVICES FOR THE NEWCOMERS

1. In order to lower shipping costs we have decided to enclose only the

coolant concentrate for liquid cooling. Therefor you need to provide 1 litre

(1L) of distilled water. You can get it at every gas station or supermarket.

2. Never run this system on tap water and always use the enclosed cooling

concentrate in correct ratio.

3. Never use alcohol, alcohol derivatives or alcohol based solvents in the

system. Using alcohol might result in permanent damage to water cooling

KIT components, especially acrylic parts of the system.

4. Reservoir must be positioned above the height level of the water pump in

order for liquid to ﬂood the pump which is crucial for the ﬁrst start-up.

5. Generally, for optimal performance, the Reservoir must be positioned be-

fore the pump in the water loop.

6. Generally, for optimal performance, the CPU water block should be right

after the Radiator in the water loop.

7. Generally, for optimal performance, the Pump should be positioned before

the Radiator in the water loop.

8. It is best practice to do a proper leak test before using your computer.

9. If you spot any leaks, turn off the power immediately!

10. Optimize tubing length in order to prevent excessive bending and kinking

of the tubing.

11. Never let your pump run dry. If this is happening for a prolonged period

of time you may risk destroying water pump’s bearing, rendering the pump

useless.

12. You are encouraged to periodically clean the radiator assembly as it will

collect dust over time. This is best done with soft wide tip brush and vacu-

um cleaner. See chapter ‘General liquid cooling parts cleaning guide.’

GENERAL INFORMATION ON WATER BLOCK COMPATIBILITY

WHAT IS ENCLOSED

- EK-Supremacy EVO universal CPU water block.

- PreciseMount EVO universal CPU mounting mechanism:

• M4 threaded thumb screws (4 pcs)

• LGA-2011 M4 threaded mounting studs (4 pcs)

• Springs (4 pcs)

• M4 threaded thumb nuts (4 pcs)

• Washers (4 pcs)

- AMD® mounting plate

- EK-Supremacy Backplate

• Backplate rubber gasket

• Backplate for Intel® LGA-1366 and AMD® socket motherboards

• Backplate for Intel® LGA-115x socket motherboards

- Allen (hex) key 2.5mm

- Additional Inserts and Jet plates:

• Jet J2 (0.3mm thick)

• Jet J3 (0.1mm thick)

• Insert I2

This CPU liquid cooling unit is pre-assembled for use with modern Intel desktop socket

type motherboards. By default (out of the box) this water block supports the following

CPU sockets:

- Intel® Socket LGA-775

- Intel® Socket LGA-115x

- Intel® Socket LGA-1366

- Intel® Socket LGA-2011(-3)

This product is also fully compatible with AMD® AMx/FMx sockets but

requires a user to replace factory installed Intel mounting plate with AMD®

one. The following sockets are then compatible:

- AMD® Socket AMx

- AMD® Socket FMx

Narrow server type LGA-2011 is not supported by default – a Mounting plate

Supremacy LGA-2011 Narrow ILM (EAN: 3830046990600) is mandatory

to install this water block on narrow server type LGA-2011 motherboards.

Replacing the mounting plate requires disassembly of the water block.

The following items are enclosed with each EK-Supremacy EVO water block:

/ 8 /

STEP 1

Please observe the table below to determine the optimal combination of insert

and jet plate for your type of socket:

Socket Optimal Insert Optimal Jet

AMD® AMx / FMx I2 J2

LGA-7 75 I1 J2

LGA-115x I1 J2

LGA-1366 I1 J1

LGA-2011 I1 I1

LGA-2011(-3) I2 J3

STEP 2

Unscrew the four screws in counter-clockwise direction from the bottom of the

water block using 2,5mm Allen key. Then you will be able to remove the plastic

top and take the insert, inser pin and jet plate out.

When putting back together you will feel the jet plate lock into position on the

insert when it is placed correctly.

You mustn’t forget to install the insert pin. Ignoring this warning may

result in poor thermal performance of the water block. When putting

the water block back together make sure that the O-ring gasket (57x2

mm) is placed into the gap between the mounting plate and the water

block top.

Screw the four screws back in but don’t exaggerate with the force applied.
