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 thoroughly 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 any liquid cooling system.
Do not use pure distilled water! For best results EK recommends
the use of EK-CryoFuel coolants!

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE
Once the installation is completed, it is a recommended practice to
test the cooling circuit for leaks prior to powering up the computer.
We recommend a 24 hour leak test prior to powering up the
computer. Do not test the water block using city water pressure. This
will rupture the top of the housing and render the block unusable
(and will void your warranty).While all efforts have been made to
provide the most comprehensive tutorial possible, EK Water Blocks
assumes no liability expressed or implied for any consequential
damage(s) occurring to your equipment as a result of using EK Water
Blocks cooling products, either due to errors or omissions on our
part in the above instructions, or due to failure or defect in the EK
Water Blocks cooling products.
WARRANTY
Our products are warranted against defects in materials or
workmanship for a period of 24 months beginning from the date of
delivery to the final user. During this period, products will be repaired
or have parts replaced at our discretion provided that: (I) the product
is returned to the agent from whom it was purchased; (II) the product
has been purchased by an end user and has not used for commercial
purposes; (III) the product has not been misused, handled carelessly,
or used in a manner other than in accordance with the instructions
provided describing its installation and proper use. 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 blocks are sealed with warranty void circular label, which proves
that the block has withstood a pressure leak test. Removing it will void
leak-free guarantee and not the guarantee on the product itself. Any
other RMA issues can be reported to EK Support at www.ekwb.com/
support for further analysis.
