Please note the installation of the product is intented to be undertaken

by an adequately trained and experienced person. You are installing the

product at your own risk. If you are not properly trained or experienced

or feel unsure about the installation procedure, please refrain from

installing the product yourself and contact our tech support for

assistance. We disclaim our liability for any damages to the product as

well as incidental, consequential or indirect damages incurred due to

improper or inappropriate installation.

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).

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 corrosion inhibiting coolants is always

recommended for liquid cooling systems and mandatory for

nickel-plated water blocks!

Do not use pure distilled water!

For best results, EK recommends the use of EK-CryoFuel

coolants! To reach optimal performance, make sure to

thoroughly bleed the air out of your water block!

PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD

STEP 1

REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER

Place your graphics card on the flat surface and carefully remove

the stock cooler. Do not forget to unplug all the LED and fan

connectors. Pay attention to the following steps when installing

the EK-Quantum Vector2Xtreme RTX 3080/3090 water block

onto your graphics card.

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.

PREPARING THE WATER BLOCK FOR INSTALLATION

STEP 1

First, remove the terminal badge which is attached to the

terminal with two magnets. Under the badge, unscrew three (3)

screws M4 x 20 DIN7984. Additional eight (8) screws M3 x 10 AX1

need to be removed (as shown in the image).

DO NOT REMOVE THE UPPER TERMINAL BADGE!

STEP 1

STEP 2

Carefully remove the complete active backplate with the terminal.

Additional two (2) O-rings 14 x 1 EPDM50 need to be removed.

STEP 2

Unscrew eight (8) M2.5-M3 x 6.6 standoff with the included

tool (EK-Plug out Spludger Tool). Make sure not to unscrew the

M3.5-M2.5 x 11.3 standoff! In case the M3.5-M2.5 x 11.3 standoff

unscrews, carefully tighten it back with the 4 mm wrench.

After removing the standoffs, the PCB cardboard needs to be

removed.

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS

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.

Replacement thermal pads:

Thermal Pad F 1.0 mm – (120 x 16 mm) EAN: 3830046996732

Thermal Pad F 2.0 mm – (120 x 16 mm) EAN: 3830046996756

- 10 -

STEP 2

For this step, you will need:

Scissors

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.

Before attaching the PCB to the Water Block, make sure

all the Thermal Pads are placed correctly!

STEP 2

Thermal Grease

STEP 1

Apply the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease (thermal

compound) on the GPU 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!

APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

For this step, you will need:

Thermal Pad - 120 x 16 x 1.0 mm
