EK-FC TRIO RTX 2080 Ti Classic

GPU WATER BLOCK

INSTALLATION MANUAL

- 2 -

The product is compatible with RTX 2080 Ti Trio graphics card. It

is intended for installing only by expert users. Please consult with a

qualiﬁed tehnician 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, not

their installation. The following instructions are to change without

notice. Please visit our web side 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:

Please carefully read the manual throughly before beginning

with the installation process!

Please remove your graphics card from computer to assure

safest mounting process in order to prevent any possible

damages to your GPU and/or graphics card 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.

Do not use pure distilled water! For best results EK recommends

the use of EK-CyroFuel coolants!

PREPARING YOUR GRAPHICS CARD

STEP 1

REMOVING FACTORY PROVIDED BACKPLATE

Remove all encircled screws using Phillips screwdriver. All heat

sink assembly screws should be removed, including self-adhesive

washers washers on the both sides of the PCB(if present).

STEP 2

REMOVING STOCK COOLER

Remove all encircled screws using Phillips screwdriver. All heat

sink assembly screws should be removed, including self-adhesive

washers on both sides of the PCB(if present). After you remove the

housing do not unplug the fans.

STEP 3

CLEANING THE PCB

Carefully detach the original stock cooler after removing all

screws securing in to the board. Wipe off the remains (by using

nonabrasive cloth or q-tip, as shown on sample photo) of the

original thermal compound until the components and circuit

board are completely clean.

STEP 4

APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

Wipe off the remains(by using non-abrasive cloth or q-tip) of the

original thermal compound until the components and circuit board

are completely clean.

Apply thermal compound: lightly coat GPU chip with enclosed EK-

TIM Ectotherm thermal grease. EKWB recommends to apply thermal

grease in cross form for best performance.

STEP 5

CUTTING THERMAL PADS

Your block comes with the thermal pads, some of which are already

pre-cut. Others have to be cut to smaller chunks in order to cover all

the VRM components such as MOSFETs, IC memory and coils.

PLEASE REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FOIL FROM BOTH SIDES OF

THE THERMAL PADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.

Replacement thermal pads:

1. Thermal pad E - 0.5mm (RAM 11X) – (EAN: 3830046996688)

2. Thermal pad G – 1.0mm ( 120X24) – (EAN: 3830046996770)

STEP 6

PLACING THERMAL PADS ON PCB

Place thermal pads on the circuit board as shown on the picture

below. Refer to numbering in previous picture when applying

thermal pads of different sizes or thicknesses. EK made sure to

provide customers with more than adequate quantity of thermal

pads to complete this step.

1: Thermal pad E – 0.5mm (for memory IC):

100

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

STEP 1

PLACING THE BLOCK ON TO THE GRAPHICS CARD

Carefully position the water block with preinstalled standoffs on to

the graphics card. During this process please make sure you align

mounting holes on the PCB with holes on the water block (same

applies for other tops). Also pay attention not to use too much

force by pressing the block down to the PCB. Chip dies are prone

to cracking.

STEP 2

ATTACHING THE BLOCK TO THE GRAPHIC CARD

Use a Phillips screwdriver screw with the enclosed M2.5 x 4 AX1

screws. EKWB recommends users to start tightening the screws

around the GPU core and continue outwards. Always use a plastic

washer under each and every screw! If the washer is already present

on the circuit board (usually around GPU core screw holes) there is

no need for additional washer.

In this step you will need:

Phillips-head

screwdriver

M 2.5x4 AX1

15 pcs

M 2.5 PVC washer

15 pcs

M2,5x4 AX1

STEP 1

STEP 2

CHECKING FOR CONTACTS

If necessary temporarily remove the water block to check for uniform

surface contact between the block and the components, pay special

attention to the VRM section of the graphics card. Check whether

the water block makes contact with the intended integrated circuit.

Then repeat sub-steps in previous section to re-attach the block.

In case you fail to obtain good contact, please check again that

your thermal pad thickness or contact our support service at

http://www.ekwb.com/support.

INSTALLATION OF FITTINGS AND TUBING

Screw in the two G1/4 threaded male ﬁttings. Attach the liquid

cooling tubes and connect the water-block(s) into the cooling circuit.

EKWB recommends using EK ﬁttings with the EK-Vector series

water blocks. To ensure that the tubes are securely attached to the

barb/ﬁttings, please use hose clamps or an appropriate substitute.

You can use any opening as an inlet/outlet port. Do not forget to plug

the remaining two opening with enclosed EK-Plug G1/4 or equivalent.

CAUTION: In case of using connectors other than EK series

compression ﬁttings, take special attention to the length of the

ﬁttings’ male G1/4” thread. 5mm is the maximum allowed G1/4”

thread length!

INSERTING THE CARD IN YOUR PC CASE

Carefully lift your graphics card with installed block and insert it in

your PC’s motherboard PCI-express expansion slot. Please bear in

mind that your graphics card is probably heavier than when it was

equipped with original heat sink fan assembly. One needs to be

very careful when handling the graphics card. Avoid all un-needed

manipulation of the VGA/water block assembly that might damage

your card or water block during ﬁnal installation.

REQUIRED TOOLS

Phillips-head screwdriver Scissors

CONNECTING THE RGB LED STRIP

RGB LED Connector

STEP 1

Plug the 4-pin connector from Water block’s RGB LED light to the

RGB_HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin layout

on the header is as follows: +12V G R B.

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.
