USER GUIDE

GPU WATER BLOCK

EK-Quantum

Vector FE RTX 3080

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 to

reach optimal performance.

PREPARING THE 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 FE RTX 3080 water block onto your graphics card.

STEP 2

CLEANING THE PCB

Carefully detach the original stock cooler after removing all screws

that are securing it to the board. 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.

STEP 2

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 CPU 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

REMOVING THE STOCK BACKPLATE

Carefully unscrew four (4) preinstalled backplate screws (M2.5 X 7

AX1) and remove the backplate, as shown in the picture. Save the

screws and backplate for later use.

STEP 3

REMOVING THE PREINSTALLED I/0 SHIELD

Unscrew the three (3) M3X5 screws using Phillips head-screwdriver

and remove the I/O shield (as shown in the picture). Save the screws

and I/O shield for the later use!

For this Step, you will need:

STEP 2

REMOVING THE STOCK BACKPLATE COVER

After removing the backplate, unscrew the three (3) backplate

cover screws as shown in the picture, using the enclosed Allen Key

(2 mm), and take off the backplate cover. Save the screws and cover

for later use.
