Installation and mounting manual for EK- -295X2 waterblock FC R9

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:

1. Please carefully read the manual before through before beginning with the installation process!

2. Please remove your motherboard from the computer to assure safest mounting process in order to prevent any possible damages to your CPU and/or motherboard’s circuit board (PCB).

3. The EK High Flow and EK-PSC type 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.

4. The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.

STEP 2: PREPARING YOUR GRAPHIC CARD.

1. REMOVING STOCK COOLER: Remove encircled screw on

the bracket (required only on certain models):

STEP 2 cont.: PREPARING YOUR GRAPHIC CARD

1 cont.. REMOVING STOCK COOLER. Remove all encircled screws. All heat sink assembly screws

should be removed, including self-adhesive washers on both sides of the PCB (if present). There are up to

19 screws on the back of the graphics card. After you remove the fan housing do not forget to unplug the

fan. You may need Torx T6 screwdriver instead of Philips head screwdriver (depending on manufacturer).

2. CLEANING THE PCB. Carefully detach the original stock cooler

after removing screws securing it to the board. Wipe off the all

remains (by using non abrasive cloth or –

qtip

, as shown on sample

photo) of the original thermal compound until the components and

circuit board are completely clean. EKWB recommends the use of

denatured alcohol for removing TIM leftovers.

3. APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND. Apply thermal

compound: lightly coat both

nVidia

GPU chips as well as

PLX bridge chip with for example Arctic Cooling MX-2

™ 4 ™ Extreme ™, -MX or GELID GC- thermal grease.

EKWB recommends to apply thermal grease in cross form

for best performance (see sample picture).

4. CUTTING THERMAL PADS. Your block comes with thermal pads, some of which are already pre-cut. Others

have to be cut to smaller chunks in order to cover all the VRM components such as MOSFETs and drivers. PLEASE

REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FOIL FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE THERMAL PADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.

Replacement thermal pads:2x Thermal Pad A 0.5mm (16x100mm),2x Pad D – – 0.5mm (8xRAM) 1 Pad C 1.5mm (25x50mm) , x –

STEP 3: INSTALLING WATER BLOCK

1. PLACING THERMAL PADS ON PCB. Place thermal pads on chips so that numbers on chips match size of thermal pads. EKWB made sure users have more than

enough pads to cover all surfaces that need to be covered to make block fully functional). EK recommends using small drops of electrically non-conductive (for WB

example: Arctic Cooling MX- , - or GELID GC- ) thermal grease on each phase regulator (that is being covered with thermal pad) in order to even 2 ™ MX 4 ™ Extreme™

further improve the thermal performance of the EK- -295X2 series water block. Be careful not to overlap thermal pads! FC R9

1: Thermal pad D 0.5–mm (RAM):

2: Thermal pad A 1–mm (for mosfet):

3: Thermal pad C – 1,5mm (PCB):

2. Remove two hexagonal nuts securing the original two-slot I/O bracket to the

circuit board. Remove the screw that secure the tab of the I/O bracket to the circuit

board as well. Replace the original I/O bracket with enclosed EK-FCS10000 single-slot

I/O bracket and install it using two original hexagonal nuts. Secure the bracket tab

using M3x4 DIN7985 screw.

3. PLACING BLOCK TO GRAPHIC CARD. Carefully position the water block

with preinstalled 2.5mm standoffs on to the graphics card. During this process please

make sure you align mounting holes on PCB with holes on the water block. Also pay

attention not to use too much force by pressing block down to PCB. Chip dies are

prone to cracking.

STEP 5: INSTALLATION OF FITTINGS AND TUBING

4. ATTACHING BLOCK TO GRAPHIC CARD. By using Philips screwdriver, screw

in enclosed M3x4 DIN7985 screws. EKWB recommends start screwing the screws

around the GPU core using Philips head screwdriver and continue outwards. Do not

forget to put a PVC washer under each screw!

Screw in the two G1/4 threaded male fittings. Attach the liquid cooling tubes and

connect the water-block(s) into the cooling circuit. EKWB recommends using EK-

CSQ fittings with the EK-FC R9- X2 series water blocks295 . To ensure that the

tubes are securely attached to the barb/fittings, please use hose clamps or an

appropriate substitute.

You can use any opening as an inlet/outlet port.

CAUTION: In case of using connectors other than EK-CSQ or EK-PSC series

compression fittings, take special attention to the length of the fittings’ male G1/4”

thread. In case the thread is longer than 5 mm please use the enclosed 1.8 mm nickel

plated spacer!

5mm is the maximum allowed G1/4” thread length!

STEP 4: CHECKING FOR CONTACTS

Temporarily r

emove the water block to check for uniform surface contact between the block and the components, pay special attention to the VRM section of the graphics card.

Check whether the water block makes contact with the VRM. Then repeat sub-steps in previous section to re-attach the block. In case you fail to obtain good contact,

please check again your thermal pad thickness or contact our support service.

STEP 7: INSERTING CARD IN YOUR PC CASE

Carefully lift your graphics card with installed block and insert -express expansion slot. Please bear in mind that your graphics card is probably it in your PC’s motherboard PCI

heavier than when it was equipped with original heat sink fan assembly. One needs to be very careful when handling the graphics card. Avoid all -needed manipulation of the un

VGA/water block assembly that might damage your card or water block during final installation.
