USER GUIDE

EK-Quantum

Magnitude Upgrade Kit - AM5

Please note the installation of the product is intended 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:

Please carefully read the manual before beginning the

installation process.

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-Cryo Fuel coolants.

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

you will not reach optimal performance.

PREPARING THE AM4 WATER BLOCK FOR UPGRADE

Important! Before starting, make sure to have a clean, ﬂat

surface to work on. It is recommended to put foam or soft

material to lay a motherboard on.

STEP 1

If the EK-Quantum Magnitude AM4 water block is already installed,

unscrew four (4) mounting screws using Allen Key 2.5 mm to detach

it (As shown in the picture). Save the parts for later use.

STEP 3

Applying thermal compound: Apply the enclosed 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

in thickness over the entire surface of the IHS.

The excessive or uneven application of thermal grease

may lead to poor performance!

STEP 1

Plug the 3-pin connector from the 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 the LED Diode to the 12V RGB HEADER you

can damage the LEDs. Failure to do so will damage your

motherboard or LED strip.

CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP

To make sure the installation of EK components was successful, we

recommend you perform a leak test for 24 hours. When your loop

is complete and ﬁlled with coolant, connect the pump to a PSU

outside of your system. Do not connect power to any of the other

components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump run continuously.

It is normal for the coolant level to drop during this process as air

collects in the distribution plate. Inspect all parts of the loop, and

in the eventuality that coolant leaks, ﬁx the issue and repeat the

testing process. Ensure that all hardware is dry before the system is

powered on in order to prevent any damage.

Our products are warranted against defects of materials and

quality for a period of 24 months, starting with the date of

delivery to the end-user. During this period, products will be

repaired or have parts replaced at our discretion, provided

that 1) the product is returned to the agent from whom it was

purchased; 2) the product has been purchased by the end-user

and has not been used for commercial purposes; 3) the product

has not been misused, handled carelessly, or used in a manner

other than the way described in the instructions manual. This

warranty does not confer rights other than those expressly set

out above and does not cover any claims for consequential loss

or damage. This warranty is offered as an extra benefit and does

not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. This warranty

is voided if the product comes in contact with aggressive UV

additives or other improper liquids. EK water blocks are sealed

with a warranty-voiding circular label, proving the water block

has withstood a pressure leak test. Removing the label will void

the leak-free guarantee, but not the guarantee on the product

itself. Any other RMA issues can be reported to EK Customer

Support at www.ekwb.com/support for further analysis.
