USER GUIDE

GPU WATER BLOCK

EK-Quantum

Vector TUF RX 6800/6900

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 THE GRAPHICS CARD

You will need the following tool:

Phillips Head Screwdriver

STEP 1

Place your graphics card on the ﬂat surface and unscrew the eight

(8) red marked screws from the GPU Backplate using Phillips head

screwdriver. Carefully remove the Backplate from the GPU.

REMOVING THE STOCK BACKPLATE

STEP 1

BAC KP L ATE

REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER

STEP 1

After removing the backplate, unscrew the four (4) orange marked

retention bracket screws and two (2) blue marked stock cooler

screws. Also, two (2) green marked screws from the side of the I/O

Bracket needs to be removed. Carefully remove the retention bracket

and detach the PCB from the stock cooler. Disconnect all cables

connecting the stock cooler to the PCB.

Always remove the stock cooler slowly - it might be ﬁrmly

glued to the PCB with thermal pads.

STEP 1

- 8 -

STEP 2

Lastly, remove the green marked screw from the front side of the

PCB. The PCB is now ready for the water block installation.

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 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.

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.
