USER GUIDE

This product is intended for installation only by expert users. Please
consult with a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation
may result in damage to your equipment. EK Water Blocks assumes no
liability whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products,
nor their installation. The following instructions are subject to change
without notice. Please visit our web site at www.ekwb.com for updates.
Before installation of this product please read important notice, disclosure
and warranty conditions printed on the back of the box.

Before you start using this product please follow these basic guidelines:

Please carefully read the manual before beginning with the
installation process!

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 liquid cooling systems, and mandatory for nickel plated
water blocks!

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!
