Before you start using this product please follow these basic guidelines:
Please carefully read the manual before beginning with the
installation process!
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. EKWB recommends any of the
EKCryofuel for worry-free usage.

ATTACHING THE FITTINGS
In order to complete your loop, all of the ports should be used as
marked on the diagrams.
All remaining and unused ports should be closed using the
supplied plugs and a 6mm Allen key.
EK recommends EK Classic and EK-Torque series fittings.

CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP
Plug the 3-pin connector of the distribution plate D-RGB LED light
to the D-RGB HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the
pin layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Digital, Empty, Ground.
Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the
connector is plugged into the +5V line as indicated on
your motherboard. If you put LED Diode to the 12V RGB
HEADER you can damage the LEDs.
Connector is the same on D-RGB and RGB versions,
but D-RGB version has 3 cables from connector to
PCB; RGB version has 4 cables. If you connect D-RGB
led to ordinary RGB header you can damage your
motherboard or LED strip.

CONNECTING THE PUMP
STEP 1
The EK-DDC 3.2 PWM has two connectors:
1.4-pin Molex: It must be connected directly to your PSU at all
times as it is used to power the pump.
2.4-pin PWM fan: It can be connected to your motherboard’s CPU_
Fan or designated water pump header. It can also be connected to
a controller. This cable is used to control and report the rotational
speed of the pump. If it’s not connected, the pump will run at
maximum speed (100% PWM).

TESTING THE LOOP
To make sure the installation of EK components was successful, we
recommend you perform a leak test for 24 hours.
When your loop is complete and filled with coolant, connect the
pump to a PSU outside of your system. Do not connect power to
any of the other components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump
run continuously. It is normal for the coolant level to drop during this
process as air collects in the distribution plate.
Inspect all parts of the loop, and in the eventuality that coolant leaks,
fix the issue and repeat the testing process. Ensure that all hardware is
dry before the system is powered on in order to prevent any damage.
