CPU WATER BLOCK

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 website at www.ekwb.com for updates. Before
installation of this product, please read important notice, disclosure, and
warranty conditions that are printed on the back of the box.
Before you start using this product, please follow these basic guidelines:
Please carefully read the manual before beginning the installation
process.
Please remove your graphics card from the computer to assure the
safest mounting process and prevent any possible damage 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 liquid cooling systems, and mandatory for nickel plated
water blocks!
Do not use pure distilled water! For best results recommends the
use of EK-CryoFuel coolants.
Make sure to thoroughly bleed air out of your water block, or you will
not reach optimal performance.
