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:

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

REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER

GeForce RTX™ 4080 GAMING OC

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 the graphics card on.

STEP 1

First, unscrew the thirteen

(13) screws in order to remove

the stock cooler from the

GPU PCB. After removing the

screws, the connectors must

be unplugged.

STEP 2

After connectors are unplugged, an additional seven (7) Screws

must be removed from the front side of the GPU PCB. Finally,

unscrew four (4) I/O Bracket screws from the side of the GPU PCB.

Remove the stock backplate and I/O Bracket. I/O Bracket and ﬁve (5)

screws will be reused later. Make sure to remove all the thermal pads

and thermal grease from the GPU PCB.

PREPARING THE WATER BLOCK FOR INSTALLATION

STEP 1

Unscrew six (6) Screws AX1 M2.5 x 8 mm. Remove the backplate

together with the Screws and backplate standoffs. Standoffs must

stay on Screws AX1 M2.5 x 8 mm. Remove PCB cardboard. Save the

removed parts 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 M2.5 x 8 screws. Do not push the

standoff onto the screw AX1 M2.5 x 8 mm.

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS

STEP 1

The 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.

Remove the protective foil from both sides of the thermal

pad before installation.

Replacement thermal pads:

STEP 2

Once cut to the size, Thermal Pads should be placed on the PCB, as

shown in the picture:

Before attaching the PCB to the Water Block, make sure

all the Thermal Pads are placed correctly!

STEP 2

Thermal Pad - 120 x 16 x 1.0 mm

Thermal Grease

STEP 1

Apply the enclosed 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:

STEP 1

ATTACHING THE WATER BLOCK

STEP 1

The factory-provided I/O Bracket must be reused before placing the

water block onto the GPU PCB.

STEP 1

STEP 2

Carefully position the water block with preinstalled standoffs on the

graphics card. During this process, make sure you have aligned the

mounting holes of the PCB with the holes of the water block.

Pay attention not to use too much force when pressing

the block down to the PCB since chip dies are prone

to cracking.

Before attaching the PCB to the Water Block, make sure

all the Thermal Pads are placed correctly!
