This product is intended for installation by expert users only. Please

consult with a qualiﬁed technician. Improper installation may result

in damage to your equipment. EK assumes no liability whatsoever,

expressed or implied, for the use of this product or its installation. The

following instructions are subject to change without notice. Please,

read the manual carefully before starting the installation process. For

updates, you can visit our ofﬁcial website www.ekwb.com.

Before you start using this product, please follow these basic guidelines:

Carefully read the manual before beginning 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 a flat surface and use the Phillips head

screwdriver to remove the thirteen (13) marked screws, the Stock

Backplate, and the Stock Cooler Backplate from the backside of

the GPU.

Carefully and slowly detach the PCB from the stock cooler and

disconnect the four cables connecting the stock cooler to the PCB.

Always remove the stock cooler slowly and with

uniform force - it might be firmly glued to the PCB with

thermal pads.

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.

STEP 2

PREPARING THE WATER BLOCK FOR INSTALLATION

STEP 1

Unscrew eight (8) Screws AX1 M2.5x8 as shown in the image.

Remove the backplate together with eight (8) Screws AX1 M2.5x8

and backplate standoffs. Standoffs must stay on Screws AX1

M2.5x8. Remove cardboard. Save the backplate set for later steps.

Do not remove standoffs from screws! In case the

standoff detaches from the screw, replace it with a

spare one. When replacing the standoff make sure

that you screw it on the AX1 M2.5x8 screw. Do not

push the standoff onto the screw AX1 M2.5x8!

STEP 1

For this step, you will need:

Phillips Head Screwdriver

M2.5 x 8 AX1

BACK PL ATE S TA ND OFF

DO NOT

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS

STEP 1

Your EK-Quantum Vector2 FTW3 RTX 3080/90 D-RGB block comes

with Thermal Pads that have to be cut into smaller pieces to cover all

the VRM components. EK made sure to provide you with more than

an adequate quantity of Thermal Pads to complete this Step.

CAUTION: 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 G 1.0 mm – (120 x 24mm) EAN: 3830046996770

Thermal Pad G 2.0 mm – (120 x 24mm) EAN: 3830046996794

For this step, you will need:

Scissors

STEP 2

The cardboard is printed in scale 1:1. Cut Thermal Pads to the size

printed on the cardboard. Once cut to the size, Thermal Pads should

be placed on the block, as shown in the picture. Thermal Pads of

thicknesses 1 and 2 mm are included.

Before attaching the PCB to the Water Block, make sure

all the Thermal Pads are placed correctly!
