environment
Please remove your graphics card from the computer to assure
safest mounting process in order to prevent any possible damages
to your GPU and/or graphics card 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
any liquid cooling system.
Do not use pure distilled water! For best results EK recommends the
use of EK-CryoFuel coolants!
Make sure to thoroughly bleed air out of your water block, or you will
not reach optimal performance!
