EK-Pro

GPU WB RTX 8000 – Ni + Inox

GPU WATER BLOCK

- 2 -

This product is compatible with Nvidia Quadro RTX 8000 graphics card.

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

qualiﬁed technician since improper installation may result in damage

to the equipment. EK 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 website at www.ekwb.com for updates. Before the 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:

Carefully read the manual before beginning with the

installation process.

Remove your graphics card from the computer for the safest

mounting process and to prevent any possible damages to your

GPU or its circuit board (PCB).

EK Fittings require only a small amount of force to screw them

ﬁrmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured with the rubber

O-ring gaskets.

The use of quality market-proven corrosion-inhibiting coolants

is always strongly recommended for any liquid cooling system.

Do not use pure distilled water as a cooling liquid! For best

results, EK recommends the use of EK-CryoFuel Coolants.

PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD

STEP 1

REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER

Remove all encircled screws using a Phillips head screwdriver. All heat

sink assembly screws should be removed, including self-adhesive

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

I/O bracket.

STEP 1

STEP 2

CLEANING THE PCB

Carefully detach the original stock cooler after removing all screws

that are securing it to the board. Wipe off the remains of the original

thermal compound using a nonabrasive cloth or Q-tip, as shown

in the sample image, until the components and circuit board are

completely clean. EK recommends the use of denatured alcohol for

removing TIM leftovers.

STEP 3

APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

Lightly coat the GPU chip with enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal

grease. For best performance, EK recommends applying thermal

grease in the form of a cross (see sample image).

STEP 4

CUTTING THERMAL PADS

Your GPU water block comes with thermal pads that have to be cut into

smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components. You must remove the

protective foil from both sides of the thermal pad before installation.

Replacement thermal pads:

1. Thermal Pad F 1.0mm – (120x16mm) – (EAN: 3830046996732)

2. Thermal Pad F 0.5mm – (120x16mm) – (EAN: 3830046996725)

STEP 5

PLACING THERMAL PADS ON PCB

Once cut to size, thermal pads should be placed on the PCB, as illustrated

below. EK made sure to provide you with more than an adequate quantity

of thermal pads to complete this Step.

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

STEP 1

PLACING THE BLOCK ON THE GRAPHICS CARD

Carefully position the water block with preinstalled standoffs on

the graphics card. During this process, please make sure you have

aligned mounting holes on the PCB with holes on the water block

(same applies to other tops).

Pay attention not to use too much force when pressing the

block down to the PCB since chip dies are prone to cracking.

STEP 2

ATTACHING THE BLOCK TO THE GRAPHICS CARD

Use a Phillips head screwdriver with the enclosed M2.5X4 and

M2.5X6 screws. EK recommends you start tightening the screws

evenly, around the GPU core ﬁrst, and then continuing outward to

prevent the damage to the GPU. Always use a plastic washer under

each screw!

STEP 4

INSTALLATION OF FITTINGS AND TUBING

Screw-in two (2) G1/4 threaded male ﬁttings. Attach the liquid

cooling tubes and connect the water block(s) to the cooling loop.

EK recommends using EK-Fittings with this water block.

You can use any opening as an inlet/outlet port.

Do not forget to plug the remaining two openings with enclosed

EK-Plug G1/4 or its equivalent.

CAUTION: In case of using connectors other than EK Compression

Fittings, pay special attention to the length of the ﬁttings’ male G1/4”

thread. 5mm is the maximum G1/4” thread length allowed!

STEP 3

CHECKING FOR CONTACT

If necessary, temporarily remove the water block to check for uniform

surface contact between the block and 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 Steps from the previous section to re-attach the block.

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

contact our support service at www.ekwb.com/support.

STEP 5

INSERTING THE GRAPHICS CARD IN THE PC CASE

Carefully lift your graphics card with the installed water block and

insert it into your PC’s motherboard PCIexpress expansion slot.

Please bear in mind that your graphics card is very likely heavier than

before it was equipped with the water block.

You need to be very careful when handling the graphics card.

Avoid all unnecessary manipulation of the VGA-water block

assembly that might damage your card or water block.
