Ekwb EK-FB GA AMD KIT Handbuch

This product is intended for installation only by expert users. Please consult with a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation may result in damage to your equipment. EK Water Blocks assumes no liability

whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products, nor their installation. The following instructions are subject to change without notice. Please visit our web site at www.ekwaterblocks.com for updates.

Before installation of this product please read important notice, disclosure and warranty conditions printed on the back of the box.

The barb hose fittings require only a small amount of force to screw them in; otherwise the high flow fittings might break. These fittings do not need to be tightened with much force because the

liquid seal is made using o-rings.

STEP 1: GENERAL INFORMATION Sam

hoto of GIGABYTE GA-MA790FXT-UDP5 desi

STEP 2: PREPARING YOUR MOTHERBOARD

1. REMOVING STOCK COOLER. Remove all encircled screws. All stock cooler

assembly screws should be removed. There are 6 screws on the back of the

motherboard.

2. CLEANING THE PCB. Carefully detach the original stock cooler after removing all

screws securing it to the board. Wipe off the remains (by using non–abrasive cloth or qtip,

as shown on sample photo) of the original thermal compound until the components and

circuit board are completely clean. EKWB does not recommend using any liquids for

removing paste.

3. APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

Apply thermal compound: lightly coat the Northbridge and Southbridge with for

example Céramique™ thermal compound. Follow this link http://www.arctic-

cooling.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=39_&mID=127&language=en for

detailed instructions. EKWB recommends non-conductive MX-2, which should be

applied in cross form for best performance (see sample picture).

4. CUTTING THERMAL PADS. One thermal pad (90x15x1mm) is enclosed with your

water block. You might have to cut thermal pad in order to provide coverage to adequate

area exposed on mosfets. (WARNING: DIMENSIONS ON PICTURES BELLOW ARE SCALED!)

5. PLACING THERMAL PADS ON MOTHERBOARD. Place thermal pads you

cut on PCB as shown on picture bellow.

(PLEASE REMOVE FOIL OF THERMAL PADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.)

6. PLACING SB AND NB BLOCKS ON MOTHERBOARD. Please note that same

mounting procedure is valid for SB and NB block. Motherboard comes in between PVC

washer and copper! Tighten all screws equally and gradually to prevent the core

from breaking.

STEP 3: PREPARING YOUR MOSFET WATER BLOCK

1. ATTACHING STANDOFFS. Apply small amount of thermal grease around mounting holes and

place acetal standoffs (thickness 2,5 mm) so the holes are concentric. Thermal paste provides

enough adhesive force for standoffs to stay in a place.

2. PLACING BLOCK OVER GPU. Place the motherboard on the inverted water

block or vice versa and attach it with enclosed screws as shown. Make sure

that mounting holes are aligned.

STEP 4: ATTACHING BLOCK TO MOTHERBOARD

1. MOUNTING THE BLOCK.

For

perfect thermal contact, the block does not use a sprin

mountin

system; therefore when attachin

be very careful to ti

hten all screws equally.

Without using included standoffs

you risk damaging your motherboard!

STEP 5: CHECKING FOR CONTACTS

Temporarily r

emove the water block to check for uniform surface contact between the block and the components. Note the pattern of contact on a piece of paper. Then repeat

steps 3 and 4 to reattach the block applying more or less pressure to the areas where you have found it necessary.

STEP 6: POSITIONING FITTINGS AND CONNECTING TO WATER CIRCUIT

1.Screw in fittings as shown in photo, attach the liquid cooling tubes and connect the water-block(s) into the cooling circuit. The EK-FB GA AMD KIT series are not sold with high

flow fittings. To ensure that the tubes are securely attached to the barb fittings, please use hose clamps or an appropriate substitute. The use of an algaecide is always

recommended for any liquid cooling system.

You can use any hole as an inlet/outlet hole. Please make sure spacer in installed in hole as shown bellow.
