USER GUIDE

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:

Please carefully read the manual thoroughly before beginning

with the installation process!

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).

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 quality, market proved corrosion inhibiting coolants

is always strongly recommended for any liquid cooling system.

REMOVING STOCK COOLER

Remove all encircled screws. There are four (4) MOSFET screws on

the back of the motherboard that needs to be removed. Additional

two (2) screws needs to be removed to remove the plastic I/O cover.

Store the screws for later use. You can attach the I/O cover back,

after you mount the Monoblock.

WARNING:

Dimensions on pictures below are scaled.

Please remove the protective foil from both sides of the

thermal pads prior to installation!

APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

Apply thermal compound on CPU heat spreader (IHS) with enclosed

EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease. The quantity of about two rice

grains is just about right (like shown on the picture on the left side).

There is no need to cover the whole IHS. Applying too much thermal

grease will have negative impact on the cooling performance!

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.

Do not forget install the Backplate Insulator and Backplate

(as shown on the photo). They should be oriented to

match the holes.

ATTACHING BLOCK ON THE MOTHERBOARD

STEP 1

Prior to fastening the screws please make sure the mounting holes

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

Mosfet part: Use four (4) M2.5 x 5 AX1 Screws with PVC washers.

Tighten the screws evenly. Do not use excessive force when

tightening the screws.

CPU part: Use four (4) M4 x 12 DIN 7984 with screws. Tighten the

screws using enclosed 2mm Allen Key.

STEP 2

For the MSI Z690 Carbon EK X series water block to operate properly

the bottom G1/4 port of the water block MUST BE USED AS THE

INLETPORT.

EK recommends the use of EK-Fittings. When using fittings other

than EK 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.
