INSTALLATION TIPS FOR NOVICES
1. To lower the shipping cos t, we have decided to encl ose the coolant
concentrate only. Therefore, you need to provide 1 liter (1L) of
distilled water. You can find it at every gas station or supermarket.
2. Never run this system on tap water and always use the
enclosed cooling concentrate in the right ratio.
3. Never use alcohol, alcohol derivatives, or alcohol-based
solvents in the system. Using alcohol might result in permanent
damage to water cooling KIT components, especially acrylic
parts of the system.
4. It is best practice to do a proper 24-hour leak test before using
your computer.

5. If you spot any leaks, turn off the power immediately.
6. Optimize tube length to prevent excessive bending and kinking
of the tubing.
7. Never let your pu mp run dry. If this is happenin g for a prolonged
period, you risk destroying the water pump’s bearing, ultimately
rendering the pump useless.
8. You are encouraged to periodically clean the radiator assembly as
it will colle ct dust over time. It ’s best to be done with a soft wide-tip
brush and a vacuum cleaner. See chapter Cleaning Guide.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON WATER BLOCK COMPATIBILITY
This CPU liquid cooling unit is pre-assembled for use with modern
Intel-desktop-socket-type motherboards. By default (out of the
box) this water block supports the following CPU sockets:
- Intel® Socket LGA-115x / LGA 1200
- Intel® Socket LGA-2066/LGA-2011(-3)
- AMD® Socket AM4*
*requires replacing the Intel® mounting plate with an AMD® one.
This product is also fully compatible with AMD® AMx/
FMx sockets but requires a user to replace the factoryinstalled Intel mounting plate with an AMD® one.
ENCLOSED IN THE PACKAGE
The following items are enclosed with the EK-Quantum Velocity water block:
- EK-Quantum Velocity universal CPU water block
- PreciseMount universal CPU mounting mechanism:
• M3 threaded thumb screws (4 pcs)
• LGA-2011 M3 threaded mounting studs (4 pcs)
• Springs (4 pcs)
• M3 threaded thumb nuts (4 pcs)
• M4 PVC washers (5 pcs)
- EK-Velocity backplate (Intel, AMD)
- Allen (hex) key 2.5mm
- Additional inserts and jet plates:
• Jet J2 (0.8mm thick)
- Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut (EKWB 1.0g) thermal grease

STEP 2
Unscrew the four M4 screws in a counter-clockwise direction from the
bottom of the water block, using the enclosed 2.5mm Allen key to detach
the copper base and access the jet plate. After replacing the jet plate,
please reassemble the water block, as shown in the STEP 1 image. Pay
special attention to the insert orientation relative to the copper base and
water block top.
Before reassembly of the water block, the preformed
gasket (o-ring) must be placed into the gap between the
mounting plate and the water block top.

STEP 1
Gradually tighten the four screws and alternate between them until each is
tightened down. Don’t overdo with force applied.
LGA20113/2066* SOCKET MOTHERBOARDS
STEP 1
Prepare the foil bag with the mounting mechanism that is enclosed
with the CPU water block.
Install four (4) specific LGA-20xx M3 thumb screws into four M3
threaded stubs on the LGA-20xx socket. The screws are to be
installed using no tools (i.e., pliers).
It is recommended to remove the motherboard from the
chassis before proceeding with the CPU water block
installation due to space constraints in various PC cases!

Non-abrasive
cloth
STEP 2
Cleaning the CPU: Wipe the CPU’s contact surface with a
nonabrasive cloth or Q-tip (as shown in the image).
Applying Thermal Compound: On the clean CPU IHS (Integrated
Heat Spreader), apply a line of thermal compound and spread it
evenly over the whole IHS with a plastic card or something similar
(see sample image on the left).
IHS
STEP 2
Thumb nut
Coiled spring
STEP 3
The layer of the thermal compound must be thin
and evenly spread across the whole surface of the
IHS. Too thick of a layer could lead to poor performance.
This method pertains to the Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut
thermal compound (3830046998477).
STEP 3
Align the water block over the mounting screws of the LGA-20xx
motherboard with a pre-installed CPU.
Before proceeding with the installation, it is mandatory
to remove the protective foil from the backside of the
water block.
Place an enclosed compression spring and a thumb nut over each M3
thumb screw. Start fastening t wo thumb nuts at a time, preferably in a
cross pat tern, but don’t tighten them fully until all four are partially screwed
in. Then – using your fingers only – screw in all four thumb nuts until you
reach the end of the thread.
