Serial or successive flow:
Water starts flowing initially through first
block, continues to second block and
ends up with the third block. Whole sys-
tem flow is lower compared to parallel
flow due to higher restriction.
GENERAL INFORMATION: SERIAL VS PARALLEL
Parallel flow:
Water flows through all blocks simultane-
ously. With such configuration each water
block gets one third of all flow. Total sys-
tem flow is higher compared to serial or
successive flow.

It is of highest importance to use correct inlet and outlet port configuration. Not using
the correct ports may result in water bypassing the water blocks instead of flowing
through the water blocks.
As a result the bypassed graphics card will overheat and may get damaged
beyond repair!

Please take the following steps for installing any EK-FC Terminal X interconnect to
your graphics cards water blocks:
1. Remove the pre-installed Terminal from the water block. Unfasten the three (3) M4
screws using Allen (hex) key 2.5mm.
Save the O-ring gaskets and M4 Screws (mentioned in the first paragraph)
from the FC Single Terminal.
2. Install the gaskets (OR 15x1mm) in grooved slots on your new EK-FC Terminal X
interconnect. Make sure the gaskets are installed correctly! Each water block or
blank link requires two (2) gaskets!
3. Secure the new EK-FC Terminal X to each water block using original screws (that
came with the water block itself) using enclosed Allen (hex) key 2.5mm.
4. If necessary, plug all unused Terminal ports using appropriate EK-FC Terminal Blank
Links (Serial or Parallel – depending on the type of your interconnect). Please con-
sult page 7 and page 8 of this manual.
5. Plug all the remaining unused G1/4 threaded ports, if any, using Allen (hex) key 6mm
and install your connector fittings for both inlet and outlet.«
