USER GUIDE

GPU WATER BLOCK

EK-Quantum

Vector N+ RX 6800XT/6900XT

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).

EK Fittings require only a small amount of force to screw

them ﬁrmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured with the

rubber O-ring gaskets.

The use of quality market-proven corrosion-inhibiting

coolants is always strongly recommended for any liquid

cooling system.

Do not use pure distilled water as a cooling liquid! For best

results, EK recommends the use of EK-CryoFuel Coolants.

Make sure to bleed air out of your water block thoroughly in

order to reach optimal performance.

PREPARING YOUR GRAPHICS CARD

STEP 1

REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER

Place your graphics card on the ﬂat surface and carefully remove

the stock cooler. Do not forget to unplug all the LED and fan

connectors. Pay attention to the following steps when installing

the EK-Quantum Vector Nitro+ RX 6800XT/6900XT water block

onto your graphics card.

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

- 8 -

STEP 1

Your 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.

You must remove the protective foil from both sides of the

thermal pad before installation.

Replacement thermal pads:

STEP 2

Once cut to size, thermal pads should be placed on the PCB, as

illustrated below. EK made sure to provide you with more than an

adequate quantity of thermal pads to complete this Step.

Thermal Grease

STEP 1

Apply the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm 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!

STEP 1

APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

For this Step, you will need:

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

STEP 1

PLACING THE BLOCK ON THE GRAPHICS CARD

This procedure is the same for all full-cover water blocks. Carefully

position the water block with preinstalled standoffs on the graphics

card. During this process, make sure you have aligned mounting

holes of the PCB with holes of the water block (same applies to

other tops).

Pay attention not to use too much force when pressing

the block down to the PCB since chip dies are prone

to cracking.

STEP 1

- 10 -

For this Step, you will need:

M 2.5 PVC Washer

(16 pcs)

M2.5 x 4 AX1

Screw (16 pcs)

Phillips Head

Screwdriver

4 mm

STEP 2

M2.5 x 4 AX1 SCREW

M2.5 PVC WASHER

STEP 2

ATTACHING THE BLOCK TO THE GRAPHICS CARD

Use sixteen (16) M2.5 x 4 AX1 Screws and M2.5 PVC Washers.

Tighten the screws evenly using the Phillips head screwdriver. EK

recommends you start tightening the screws around the GPU core

ﬁrst and then continuing outward to prevent damaging the GPU.

CHECKING FOR CONTACT

If necessary, temporarily remove the water block to check for uniform

surface contact between the block and components. Pay special

attention to the VRM section of the graphics card. Check whether

the water block makes contact with the intended integrated circuit.

Then repeat Steps from the previous section to re-attach the block.

In case you fail to obtain good contact, please check

again or contact our support service at
