Velocity - AMD

CPU WATER BLOCK

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 before beginning with the

installation process!

Please remove your graphics card from the computer to assure

safest mounting process in order to prevent any possible damages

to your GPU and/or graphics card 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!

Make sure to thoroughly bleed air out of your water block, or you will

not reach optimal performance!

AMx AND FMxSOCKET MOTHERBOARDS

STEP 1

Removing of the original plastic hold-down clamps and the

factory backplate:

Using Philips-head screwdriver remove the four UNC 6-32 screws

securing the original plastic hold-down clamps around the socket as

shown on the sketch. Remove the original AMD® backplate and the

hold-down clamps and store them away. See sketch for further part

identiﬁcation.

STEP 2

Preparing backplate rubber gasket

The enclosed rubber gasket is essential part of the backplate and

mounting system and must be used every time you install this water

block on your motherboard.

With AMD® Sockets you should use whole rubber

backplate including the inner core.

STEP 3

Install backplate rubber gasket and place metal backplate for AMD®

socket to the back of your motherboard RIBBED SIDE UP! (facing

away from the motherboard) Align the holes on the motherboard

with holes on rubber gasket and backplate.

Carefully rotate motherboard assembly with front side facing up

with one hand while holding the backplate and rubber in place with

the other hand.

STEP 4

Prepare the foil bag with mounting mechanism, which is enclosed

with the CPU water block delivery.

Install four (4) M3 thumb screws onto your motherboard. It is

mandatory to put 0.7mm plastic washer underneath each of the

M4 thumb screws. Tighten the screws to the metal backplate until

you reach the end of the thread. Using tools (such as pliers) is not

recommended.

Continue installation by following the instructions on

STEP 5

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

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

Applying thermal compound: On a clean IHS, apply a line of

thermal compound and spread it over the whole CPU heat spreader

(IHS) with a credit card or equivalent - see sample photo on left.

The layer of thermal compound must be thin and even in

thickness through the whole surface of the IHS. Too thick

application could lead to poor performance. This method

applies for Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut thermal compound

(3830046998477).

STEP 6

Align the water block over the mounting screws on the motherboard with

pre-installed CPU.

Before proceeding with the installation It is mandatory

to remove the protective foil from the backside of the

water block.

Place an enclosed compression spring and thumb nut over each M3

thumb screw. Start fastening two thumb nuts at a time, preferably in cross

pattern and do not tighten them fully until all of them are partially screwed

in. Then - using your ﬁngers only - screw in all four thumb nuts until you

reach the end of the thread.

STEP 7

Tighten the ﬁtting barbs in clockwise direction until the gasket underneath

is compressed.

The installation of the CPU water block is now complete.

Before proceeding with the installation It is mandatory

to remove the protective foil from the backside of the

water block.

With EK-Velocity series water blocks it is mandatory to use the port that

is nearest to the center of the water block as INLET port. Mixing the ports

may result in less than ideal thermal performance of the water block.

CONNECTING THE RGB LED STRIP (option)

RGB LED Connector

CONNECTING THE RGB LED STRIP

STEP 1

Plug the 4-pin connector from Water block’s and Fan’s RGB LED light

to the RGB HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin

layout on the header is as follows: +12V G R B.

Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector

is plugged into the +12V line as indicated on your

motherboard.

Failure to do so, will damage your motherboard or LED strip.

CONNECTING THE DRGB LED STRIP

STEP 1

Plug the 4-pin connector from Water block’s D-RGB LED light to the

DRGB HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin

layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Digital, empty, Ground.

Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector is

plugged into the +5V line as indicated on your motherboard.

If you put LED Diode to the 12V RGB HEADER you can

damage the LEDs.

Failure to do so will damage your motherboard or LED strip.

Connector is the same on D-RGB and RGB versions,

but D-RGB version has 3 cables from connector to PCB;

RGB version has 4 cables. If you connect D-RGB led to

ordinary RGB header you can damage your motherboard

or LED strip.

D-RGB LED Connector

Connector is same on D-RGB and RGB version but

D-RGB version have 3 cables from connector to

Light. RGB version have 4 cables!!! If you connect

D-RGB led to ordinary RGB header you will damage

your motherboard or LED strip!!!!
