IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS

This product is intended for installation by expert users. Please
consult 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:

1. Please carefully read the manual throughly before beginning with
the installation process!

2. 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).

3. The EK-ALU ACF and EK-ALU HDC type 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.

4. The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended
for any liquid cooling system.

This product is made from aluminum and can be only used
with other aluminum liquid cooling components, such as Al
fittings, water blocks and radiators. Mixing aluminum with
copper and brass products can cause galvanic corrosion of
the metal and render liquid cooling equipment useless. Such
misuse is not covered by warranty.
