Installation and mounting manual for -FC R9-290X Matrix water EK

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 web site at for updates. Before www.ekwb.com

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 1: GENERAL INFORMATION. Sample picture of ASUS Radeon - Matrix graphics card R9 290X

STEP 2: PREPARING YOUR GRAPHIC CARD.

1. REMOVING STOCK COOLER: Remove four (4) encircled screws

on the back of the PCB:

STEP 2 cont.: PREPARING YOUR GRAPHIC CARD

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

should be removed. There are up to 13 screws on the back of the graphics card. Depending on the

manufacturer a Torx T6 head screwdriver might be needed to complete this step.

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. Wipe off the

remains (by using non abrasive cloth or –

q-tip

) of the original

thermal compound until the components and circuit board

are completely clean. Apply thermal compound: lightly coat

AMD

GPU chip with enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm 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:

Thermal Pad D 0.5mm (RAM 16x),–

Thermal Pad 1.0 mm (100x16 ) A –mm

Thermal Pad 0.5 mm (100x16 ) A –mm

STEP 3: INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

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). EKWB recommends using small drops of electrically non-conductive (for

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

in order to even further improve the thermal performance of the EK-FC -290X Matrix block.R9

2. PLACING THE BLOCK ON TO THE GRAPHICS CARD. Carefully position the

water block with preinstalled standoffs on to the graphics card. During this process

please make sure you align mounting holes on the PCB with holes on the water block

(same applies for other tops). Also pay attention not to use too much force by

pressing the block down to the PCB. Chip dies are prone to cracking.

3. ATTACHING THE BLOCK TO THE GRAPHIC CARD. Use Philips screwdriver a

screw with the enclosed M3x4 DIN 7985 screws. EKWB recommends users to start

tightening the screws around the GPU core and continue outwards. Always use a

washer under each and every screw. If the washers are stock glued on pcb

then do NOT install EKWB included PVC washers. The original backplate

cannot be re-used without modification when using -FC R9- Matrix EK 290X

water block.

STEP 4: CHECKING FOR CONTACTS

If necessary 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 intended integrated circuit. Then repeat sub-steps in previous section to re-attach the block. In case

you fail to obtain good contact, please check again that your thermal pad thickness or contact our support service at http://www.ekwb.com/support.

STEP 5: INSTALLATION OF FITTINGS AND TUBING

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- Matrix series water blocks290X . 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 6: INSERTING THE CARD IN YOUR PC CASE

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

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 un-needed manipulation of

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