All disclosures, notices and warranty conditions are being written on EKWB web page. Please check terms of use. Revision 1.0. Published on February 10th 2017

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.ekwb.com for updates. Before

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

Before you start using this product please follow these basic guidelines:

1. Please carefully read the manual before through before beginning with the installation process!

2. Please remove your motherboard from the computer to assure safest mounting process in order to prevent any possible damages to your CPU and/or motherboard’s circuit board (PCB).

3. The EK-HFB and EK-ACF type 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.

4. The use of quality, market proved corrosion inhibiting coolants is always strongly recommended for any liquid cooling system.

STEP 1: GENERAL INFORMATION Sample photo of MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON motherboard

BAG CONTENT: Bag content is universal for all water blocks, you may not need all screws.

STEP 2: PREPARING YOUR MOTHERBOARD

1. REMOVING STOCK COOLER. Remove all encircled screws. There are 4 screws

on the back of the motherboard that need to be removed in order to remove the

factory installed MOSFET cooling solution.

2. APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND. Apply thermal compound on CPU heat

spreader (IHS) - see sample photo on right with enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm

thermal grease.

The quantity of about two rice grains is just about right. There is no need to cover the

whole IHS. Applying too much thermal grease will have negative impact on the

cooling performance!

3. CUTTING THERMAL PADS. Your block comes with thermal pads which needs to be trimmed in order to fit

the voltage regulation area (MOSFET) on the motherboard’s circuit board. WARNING: DIMENSIONS ON

PICTURES BELOW ARE SCALED.

Replacement thermal pads @ EKWB web shop:

Thermal PAD F 1mm - (120x16mm) [EAN: 3830046996732]

Thermal PAD F 0,5mm - (120x16mm) [EAN: 3830046996725]

This water block is compatible with motherboard models:

-MSI Z270 Gaming Pro

-MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon

-MSI Z270 Krait Gaming

-MSI Z270 SLI

-MSI Z270 SLI Plus

-MSI Z270 Tomahawk

-MSI Z270 Tomahawk Arctic

STEP 3: PLACING THE BLOCK ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD

PLACING THE BLOCK ON THE MOTHERBOARD. Place the EK-FB MSI Z270 GAMING Monoblock series water block gently to the motherboard or vice versa (as shown on photo

below). Make sure that mounting holes are aligned. You mustn’t forget to install four self- adhesive PVC washers between the four (4) standoffs and PCB. The locations are

shown on the picture below.

STEP 4: ATTACHING BLOCK ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD

Prior to fastening the screws please make sure the mounting holes on the

motherboard’s circuit board are aligned with the water block.

A) Mosfet part: Use four M2,5x5 AX1 screws with PVC washers. Tighten the

screws evenly. Do not use excessive force when tightening the screws!

B) CPU part: Use four M4x8 DIN7984 with screws and washers.

Tighten the screws using enclosed 2.5mm allen key.

Use the enclosed screws and washers as shown in picture below:

For the EK-FB MSI Z270 GAMING Monoblock series water block to operate properly the

G1/4 port nearest to the right edge of the water block MUST BE USED AS THE INLET

PORT. EK recommends the use of EK-ACF fittings. When using fittings other than EK-

ACF series please use hose clamps or appropriate substitute to secure the tubing to the

barb. The use of biocide containing and corrosion inhibiting coolant is always

recommended for any liquid cooling system.

REQUIRED TOOLS AND MOUNTING SCREWS:

Scissors Philips screwdriver Allen key

Tubing

IMPORTANT: USE

THIS OPENING AS

AN INLET PORT!

Place the M2,5 self-adhesive PVC washers under marked standoffs!

CONNECT THE RGB LED (optional):

Plug the 4-pin connector from Monoblock

RGB LED strip to the motherboard. Please

ensure that the arrow indicated on the

connector is plugged into the 12V line as

indicated on your motherboard. Failure to

do so will damage your motherboard or

LED strip.

Place 1mm thermal pads (1) in larger strips over

marked area and make sure all mosfet chips are

covered.

4. PLACING THERMAL PADS ON MOTHERBOARD.

Place thermal pads on PCB as shown on the

picture

PLEASE REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FOIL FROM

BOTH SIDES OF THE THERMAL PADS PRIOR TO

INSTALLATION!

Place the 0,5mm thermal pads (2) on the inductor

coils (chokes).
