- 2 -

This product is compatible with Radeon Pro WX 9100 graphics card.

It 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:

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 THE 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). Also remove the IO bracket.

STEP 1

STEP 2

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. EKWB recommends the use of denatured alcohol for removing

TIM leftovers.

STEP 2

STEP 3

APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

Lightly cover AMD GPU chip with enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm

thermal grease. EKWB recommends to apply the thermal grease in a

cross form to best performance (see sample picture).

STEP 4

CUTTING THERMAL PADS

Your block is supplied with thermal pads that need to be cut into smaller

pieces in order to cover all VRM components. PLEASE REMOVE THE

PROTECTIVE FOIL FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE THERMAL PADS PRIOR

TO INSTALLATION.

Replacement thermal pads:

1. Thermal Pad G 1.0 mm – (120 x 24 mm) – (EAN: 3830046996770)

2. Thermal Pad G 0.5 mm – (120 x 24 mm) – (EAN: 3830046996763)

STEP 5

PLACING THERMAL PADS ON PCB

Once cut to size the thermal pads should be applied to the PCB as

illustrated below. EK made sure to provide customers with more than

adequate quantity of thermal pads to complete this step.

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.

INSTALLATION OF FITTINGS AND TUBING

STEP 1

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.

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!

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.

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.
