Starter Liquid Cooling Kit

USER GUIDE

For EK-KIT S series units | 1st Revision, Mar 1st 2016

/ 1 /

EK Water Blocks bears the name of its founder Edvard König, who

started experimenting with liquid cooling in 1999. From the humble be-

ginnings in the early years of the previous decade, the company grew

steadily to become a global premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer.

Today, EKWB offers a complete range of products for liquid cooling,

from a renowned Supremacy line of CPU water blocks, to a wide range

of CoolStream radiators, from in-house developed Vardar High pressure

fans, to market-proven SPC series of liquid cooling pumps and thus pro-

vides overclocking enthusiasts and PC builders with the best of what

the market can offer. EK-KIT S cooling solution is the next step to bring

extreme liquid cooling performance in the hands of dedicated gamers

and PC enthusiasts around the world.

DOZEN GOOD ADVICES FOR THE NEWCOMERS

1. In order to lower shipping costs we have decided to enclose only the

coolant concentrate for liquid cooling. Therefore you need to provide 1 liter

(1L) of distilled water. You can get it at every gas station or supermarket.

2. Never run this system on tap water and always use the enclosed cooling

concentrate in correct ratio.

3. Never use alcohol, alcohol derivatives or alcohol based solvents in the

system. Using alcohol might result in permanent damage to liquid cooling

KIT components, especially acrylic parts of the system.

4. Reservoir must be positioned above the height level of the water pump in

order for liquid to ﬂood the pump which is crucial for the ﬁrst start-up.

5. Generally, for optimal performance, the Reservoir must be positioned be-

fore the pump in the water loop.

6. Generally, for optimal performance, the CPU water block should be right

after the Radiator in the water loop.

7. Generally, for optimal performance, the Pump should be positioned before

the Radiator in the water loop.

8. It is best practice to do a proper leak test before using your computer.

9. If you spot any leaks, turn off the power immediately!

10. Optimize tubing length in order to prevent excessive bending and kinking

of the tubing.

11. Never let your pump run dry. If this is happening for a prolonged period

of time you may risk destroying water pump’s bearing, rendering the pump

useless.

12. You are encouraged to periodically clean the radiator assembly as it will

collect dust over time. This is best done with soft wide tip brush and vacu-

um cleaner. See chapter general liquid cooling parts cleaning guide.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON WATER BLOCK COMPATIBILITY

This CPU liquid cooling unit is pre-assembled for use with modern Intel desktop socket

type motherboards. By default (out of the box) this water block supports the following

CPU sockets:

- Intel® Socket LGA-775

- Intel® Socket LGA-115x

- Intel® Socket LGA-1366

- Intel® Socket LGA-2011(-3)

This product is also fully compatible with AMD® AMx/FMx sockets but

requires a user to replace factory installed Intel mounting plate with AMD®

one. The following sockets are then compatible:

- AMD® Socket AMx

- AMD® Socket FMx

Narrow server type LGA-2011 is not supported by default – a Mounting plate

Supremacy LGA-2011 Narrow ILM (EAN: 3830046990600) is mandatory

to install this water block on narrow server type LGA-2011 motherboards.

Replacing the mounting plate requires disassembly of the water block.

WHAT IS ENCLOSED

The following items are enclosed with each EK-Supremacy MX UNI

water block:

- EK-Supremacy MX UNI universal CPU water block

- PreciseMount MX UNI universal CPU mounting mechanism:

• M4 threaded thumb screws (4 pcs)

• LGA-2011 M4 threaded mounting studs (4 pcs)

• Springs (4 pcs)

• M4 threaded thumb nuts (4 pcs)

• Washers (4 pcs)

- AMD® mounting plate

- EK-Supremacy Backplate

• Backplate rubber gasket

• Backplate for Intel LGA-1366 and AMD® socket motherboards

• Backplate for Intel LGA-115x socket motherboards

LGA-2011(-3) SOCKET MOTHERBOARDS

STEP 1

Prepare the foil bag with mounting mechanism, which is enclosed with the CPU

water block delivery.

Install four (4) speciﬁc LGA-2011 M4 thumb screws into four M4 threaded stubs

on the LGA-2011 socket integrated latch mechanism (ILM). The screws are to be

installed using no tools (i.e. pliers).

It is recommended to remove the motherboard form the PC chassis

before proceeding with installation of the CPU water block because of

the space constraint limitations of various computer cases.

STEP 2

Cleaning the CPU: Wipe the CPU’s contact surface (by using non–abrasive

cloth or Q-tip, as shown on sample photo).

Applying thermal compound: EK recommends blob or line method of applying

the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal compound to the CPU heat spreader

(IHS) - see sample photo on right.

The quantity of about two rice grains is just about right. There is no

need to cover the whole IHS. Applying too much thermal grease will

have negative impact on the cooling performance!
