USER GUIDE

GPU WATER BLOCK

EK-Quantum

Vector XC3 RTX 3080/3090 D-RGB

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 to prevent any possible damage 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.

Make sure to bleed air out of your water block thoroughly in

order to reach optimal performance.

PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD

STEP 1

REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER

OPTION 1 – GPU Versions Without a Backplate

Some versions of this GPU don’t have a backplate (e.g., EVGA GeForce

RTX 3080 XC3 BLACK GAMING).

Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the eleven marked screws

and the Stock Cooler Backplate from the backside of the GPU. You do

not have to remove the unmarked I/O Bracket screw.

Carefully detach the PCB from the stock cooler and disconnect all

cables connecting the stock cooler to the PCB.

Always remove the stock cooler slowly - it might be ﬁrmly

glued to the PCB with thermal pads.

You will need the following tool:

STEP 2

CLEANING THE PCB

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. After that,

remove all remaining stock thermal pads from the PCB.

OPTION 2 – GPU Versions With a Backplate

Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the twelve marked screws

and the Stock Cooler Backplate from the backplate’s side.

Carefully detach the PCB from the stock cooler and the backplate, and

disconnect all cables connecting the stock cooler to the PCB.

Always remove the stock cooler slowly - it might be ﬁrmly

glued to the PCB with thermal pads.

STEP 2

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.

STEP 1

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

into smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components, such as COILs,

MOSFETs, and drivers.

You must remove the protective foil from both sides of the

thermal pad before installation.

Thermal pads:

Thermal Grease

STEP 1

Apply the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease (thermal

compound) on the CPU heat spreader – IHS – as shown in the

image. The layer of the thermal compound must be thin and even

over the entire surface of the IHS.

The excessive or uneven application of thermal grease

may lead to poor performance!

STEP 1

APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

For this Step, you will need: Thermal Grease - EAN: 3830046998446
