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!

INSTALLING THE BACKPLATE
STEP 1
PREPARING YOUR GRAPHICS CARD
First install EK-FC WX9100 Pro water block according to its
installation manual. If you have it already installed, please check the
picture to see which mounting screws are to be left in their position
and which are to be removed.

as well.

ATTACHING THE BACKPLATE TO THE GRAPHICS CARD
STEP 1
Take enclosed mounting screws and install them as shown on picture.
HINT: Do not tighten screws until they are all positioned in their
mounting holes. The backplate has milled in standoffs, so there
is no fear of over tightening of the screws. Nevertheless, do not
exaggerate with screwing force as there is no need for it.
By all means users must also consider that this product is intended to
be used only with EK-FC WX9100 Pro series water blocks. No other
3rd party heat sinks or coolers are officially supported! EK does not
offer any assistance or support in the latter application.

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.
