Installation and mounting manual for EK-FC780 GTX water block WF3

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 place since the liquid seal is ensured by the rubber O-ring gaskets.in

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

STEP 1: GENERAL INFORMATION. Sample picture of Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 WF3 series

STEP 2 : PREPARING YOUR GRAPHIC CARD

REMOVING STOCK COOLER: Remove the stock GPU HSF assembly. Remove all

encircled screws attaching VRM and VRAM heatsink to the circuit board. There

are 7 (seven) screws on the back of the graphics card.

STEP 2 cont.: PREPARING YOUR GRAPHIC CARD

2 cont.: REMOVING FACTORY PROVIDED SIDE BRACKET. Remove 3 encircled screws on .

the front of circuit board. Simply remove the side bracket.

2. CLEANING THE PCB. Carefully detach the original stock cooler after removing all

screws securing it to the board. Wipe off the remains (by using non abrasive cloth –

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 –

qtip

) of the

original thermal compound until the components and

circuit board are completely clean. Apply thermal

compound: lightly coat

NVIDIA

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 8x), Thermal Pad A 0.5mm. – –

STEP 3: INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

1. PLACING THERMAL PADS ON PCB. Place thermal pads on chips so that numbers on chips match size of thermal pads You may use small drops of electrically non-.

conductive (for example: -TIM Ectotherm, Arctic Cooling MX-2 -EK ™ 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-FC780 GTX WF3 series water block.
