Vector² FTW3 RTX 3090 Ti D-RGB

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:

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).

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! To reach optimal performance, make sure to

thoroughly bleed the air out of your water block!

PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD

STEP 1

REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER

Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the fifteen marked

screws and the Stock Cooler Backplate from the backside of the

GPU. Carefully detach the Stock Cooler Backplate from the PCB.

Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the nine marked

screws to detach the Stock Cooler from the PCB of the GPU.

Carefully detach the PCB from the stock cooler and disconnect all

cables connecting the stock cooler to the PCB.

Always remove the stock cooler slowly - it might be

firmly glued to the PCB with thermal pads.

For this step, you will need:

Phillips Head Screwdriver

STOCK BACKPLATE

PREPARING THE WATER BLOCK FOR INSTALLATION

STEP 1

Unscrew eight (8) Screws AX1 M2.5x8 as shown in the image.

Remove the backplate together with eight (8) Screws M2.5x8 AX1

and backplate standoffs. Standoffs must stay on Screws M2.5x8

AX1. Remove cardboard. Save the backplate set for later steps.

Do not remove standoffs from screws! In case the

standoff detaches from the screw, replace it with a

spare one. When replacing the standoff make sure

that you screw it on the AX1 M2.5x8 screw. Do not

push the standoff onto the screw AX1 M2.5x8!

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

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS

Your EK-Quantum Vector2 FTW3 RTX 3090 Ti D-RGB block 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.

CAUTION: You must remove the protective foil from both

sides of the thermal pad before installation.

Replacement thermal pads:

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

Thermal Pad G 2.0 mm – (120 x 24mm) EAN: 3830046996794

For this step, you will need:

Thermal Grease

STEP 1

Apply the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease (thermal

compound) on the GPU 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:

ATTACHING THE WATER BLOCK

STEP 1

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.

Pay attention not to use too much force when pressing the

block down to the PCB since chip dies are prone to cracking.

Before placing the Water Block, make sure all the Thermal

Pads are placed correctly!
