INSTALLING THE BACKPLATE
STEP 1
PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD
First, complete the installation of your EK-Quantum Vector RX
6700XT water block according to its installation manual.
In case the water block is already installed, remove the seven (7) AX1
screws and their PVC washers, as shown in the image.
STEP 2
CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS
Your backplate comes with thermal pads that have to be cut into
smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components. EK made sure to
provide you with more than an adequate quantity of thermal pads to
complete this Step.
CAUTION: You must remove the protective foil from both
sides of the thermal pad before installation.
Replacement thermal pads:

TESTING THE LOOP
To ensure the installation of EK components was successful, we
recommend you perform a 24-hour leak test.
When your loop is complete and filled with coolant, connect the pump
to a PSU outside your system. Do not connect power to any of the other
components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump run continuously.
Inspect all parts of the loop, and in case the coolant leaks, fix the issue
and repeat the testing process. To prevent possible damage, please
ensure that all hardware is dry before the system is powered on.
WARRANTY
Our products are warranted against defects of materials and quality
for a period of 24 months, starting with the date of delivery to the
end-user. During this period, products will be repaired or have parts
replaced at our discretion, provided that 1) the product is returned
to the agent from whom it was purchased; 2) the product has been
purchased by the end-user and has not been used for commercial
purposes; 3) the product has not been misused, handled carelessly,
or used in a manner other than the way described in the instructions
manual. This warranty does not confer rights other than those
expressly set out above and does not cover any claims for
consequential loss or damage. This warranty is offered as an extra
benefit and does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. This
warranty is voided if the product comes in contact with aggressive
UV additives or other improper liquids. EK water blocks are sealed
with a warranty-voiding circular label, proving the water block has
withstood a pressure leak test. Removing the label will void the
leak-free guarantee, but not the guarantee on the product itself.
Any other RMA issues can be reported to EK Customer Support at
www.ekwb.com/support for further analysis.
