EK-Quantum

Vector FTW3 RTX 3080/3080Ti/3090 Active Backplate

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.

EK only guarantees compatibility with included EK-brand

thermal pads. Installation process, cooling performance and

block contacts are tested exclusively with EK-brand thermal

pads. Listed thermal pad thicknesses apply only to thermal

pads included in the package.

EK does not guarantee compatibility with aftermarket

alternatives for thermal interface material.

INSTALLING THE ACTIVE BACKPLATE

STEP 1

PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD

First, complete the installation of your EK-Quantum Vector FTW3

RTX 3080/3080Ti/3090 water block according to its installation

manual. In case the water block is already installed, remove the

seven (7) AX1 screws and their PVC washers, as shown in the image.

Phillips Head Screwdriver

For this Step, you will need:

- 8 -

EK-Quantum Vector FTW3 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 FTW3 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 the terminal detachment is shown below.

Attention!

In case the EK-Quantum Vector FTW3 RTX 3080/3080Ti/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!

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 these steps.

Replacement thermal pads:

Thermal PAD F 1.0 mm – (120 x 16 mm) – EAN: 3830046996732

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

Thermal PAD F 2.0 mm – (120 x 16 mm) – EAN: 3830046996756

EK only guarantees compatibility with included EK-brand

thermal pads. Installation process, cooling performance

and block contacts are tested exclusively with EK-brand

thermal pads. Listed thermal pad thicknesses apply only

to thermal pads included in the package.

EK does not guarantee compatibility with aftermarket

alternatives for thermal interface material.

STEP 3

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

PCB, as illustrated below.

First, place the thermal pads on to the PCB as illustatrated.

After placing the thermal pads on to the PCB, a few more needs to

be placed on to the Backplate, as illustrated.
