DOZEN GOOD ADVICES FOR THE NEWCOMERS

1. In order to lower shipping costs we have decided to enclose only the

coolant concentrate for liquid cooling. Therefore you need to provide 1 liter

(1L) of distilled water. You can get it at every gas station or supermarket.

2. Never run this system on tap water and always use the enclosed cooling

concentrate in correct ratio.

3. Never use alcohol, alcohol derivatives or alcohol based solvents in the

system. Using alcohol might result in permanent damage to liquid cooling

KIT components, especially acrylic parts of the system.

4. Reservoir must be positioned above the height level of the water pump in

order for liquid to ﬂood the pump which is crucial for the ﬁrst start-up.

5. Generally, for optimal performance, the Reservoir must be positioned be-

fore the pump in the water loop.

6. Generally, for optimal performance, the CPU water block should be right

after the Radiator in the water loop.

7. Generally, for optimal performance, the Pump should be positioned before

the Radiator in the water loop.

8. It is best practice to do a proper leak test before using your computer.

9. If you spot any leaks, turn off the power immediately!

10. Optimize tubing length in order to prevent excessive bending and kinking

of the tubing.

11. Never let your pump run dry. If this is happening for a prolonged period

of time you may risk destroying water pump’s bearing, rendering the pump

useless.

12. You are encouraged to periodically clean the radiator assembly as it will

collect dust over time. This is best done with soft wide tip brush and

vacuum cleaner. See chapter general liquid cooling parts cleaning guide.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON WATER BLOCK COMPATIBILITY

This CPU liquid cooling unit is pre-assembled for use with modern Intel desktop socket

type motherboards. By default (out of the box) this water block supports the following

CPU sockets:

- Intel® Socket LGA-115x

- Intel® Socket LGA-2066/LGA-2011(-3)

- AMD® Socket AM4*

*requires replacing Intel® mounting plate with AMD® one.

WHAT IS ENCLOSED

The following items are enclosed with each EK-Supremacy MX UNI

water block:

- EK-Supremacy MX UNI universal CPU water block

- PreciseMount MX UNI universal CPU mounting mechanism:

• M4 threaded thumb screws (4 pcs)

• LGA-2011 M4 threaded mounting studs (4 pcs)

• Springs (4 pcs)

• M4 threaded thumb nuts (4 pcs)

• Washers (4 pcs)

- AMD® mounting plate*

- EK-Supremacy Backplate

• Backplate rubber gasket

• Backplate for Intel LGA-115x socket motherboards

• Backplate for AMD® AM4 socket motherboards*

- EK-TIM Ectotherm (1g) thermal grease

*Optional

LGA-2066 SOCKET MOTHERBOARDS

STEP 1

Prepare the foil bag with mounting mechanism, which is enclosed with the CPU

water block delivery.

Install four (4) speciﬁc LGA-2011 M4 thumb screws into four M4 threaded stubs

on the LGA-2066 socket integrated latch mechanism (ILM). The screws are to

be installed using no tools (i.e. pliers).

It is recommended to remove the motherboard form the PC chassis

before proceeding with installation of the CPU water block because of

the space constraint limitations of various computer cases.

STEP 2

Cleaning the CPU: Wipe the CPU’s contact surface (by using non–abrasive

cloth or Q-tip, as shown on sample photo).

Applying thermal compound: EK recommends blob or line method of applying

the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal compound to the CPU heat spreader

(IHS) - see sample photo on right.

The quantity of about two rice grains is just about right. There is no

need to cover the whole IHS. Applying too much thermal grease will

have negative impact on the cooling performance!
