USER GUIDE

GPU WATER BLOCK

EK-Quantum

Vector Trio RTX 3080/3090 D-RGB

Before you start using this product, please follow these basic guidelines:

Carefully read the manual before beginning with the

installation process.

Remove your graphics card from the computer for the safest

mounting process to prevent any possible damage to your

GPU or its circuit board (PCB).

EK Fittings require only a small amount of force to screw

them ﬁrmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured with the

rubber O-ring gaskets.

The use of quality market-proven corrosion-inhibiting

coolants is always strongly recommended for any liquid

cooling system.

Do not use pure distilled water as a cooling liquid! For best

results, EK recommends the use of EK-CryoFuel Coolants.

Make sure to bleed air out of your water block thoroughly in

order to reach optimal performance.

PREPARING THE GRAPHICS CARD

For this Step, you will need:

Phillips Head Screwdriver

STEP 1

REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER AND BACKPLATE

Place your graphics card on the ﬂat surface and carefully remove the

stock cooler. Do not forget to unplug all the LED and fan connectors.

Pay attention to the following steps in order to install the EK-Quantum

Vector Trio RTX 3080/3090 D-RGB water block on the graphics card.

Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the ﬁve (5) green marked

screws from the GPU bracket side.

Then remove the ﬁfteen (15) red marked screws with Phillips head

screwdriver and carefully detach the stock backplate from the PCB.

After removing the stock backplate remove four (4) blue marked

screws on retention bracket and you can move to step 2 of the process.

Always remove the stock cooler slowly - it might be ﬁrmly

glued to the PCB with thermal pads.

STEP 2

- 8 -

STEP 1

Your GPU water block comes with thermal pads that have to be cut

into smaller pieces to cover all the VRM components, such as COILs,

MOSFETs, and drivers.

You must remove the protective foil from both sides of the

thermal pad before installation.

Replacement thermal pads:

STEP 2

CLEANING THE PCB

Carefully detach the original stock cooler after removing all screws

that are securing it to the board. Wipe off the remains of the original

thermal compound using a nonabrasive cloth or Q-tip, as shown

in the sample image, until the components and circuit board are

completely clean. EK recommends the use of denatured alcohol for

removing TIM leftovers.

STEP 2

- 9 -

Thermal Grease

STEP 1

Apply the enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease (thermal

compound) on the CPU heat spreader – IHS – as shown in the

image. The layer of the thermal compound must be thin and even

over the entire surface of the IHS.

The excessive or uneven application of thermal grease

may lead to poor performance!

STEP 1

APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

For this Step, you will need:

STEP 2

Once cut to size, thermal pads should be placed on the PCB, as

illustrated below. EK made sure to provide you with more than an

adequate quantity of thermal pads to complete this Step.

M2.5 Nut

1 pcs

For this Step, you will need:

M 2.5 PVC Washer

(19 pcs)

Phillips Head

Screwdriver

M2.5 x 4 AX1

(19 pcs)

4 mm

STEP 2

M2.5 x 4 AX1 SCREW

M2.5 PVC WASHER

M2.5 NUT

STEP 2

ATTACHING THE BLOCK TO THE GRAPHICS CARD

Use nineteen (19) M2.5 X 4 AX1 screws and M2.5 PVC washers.

Tighten the screws evenly using the Phillips head screwdriver. EK

recommends you start tightening the screws around the GPU core

ﬁrst and then continuing outward to prevent damage to the GPU.

Always use a plastic washer under each screw! For one (1) M2.5

screw marked with red triangle you will also need one (1) M2.5 Nut to

succesfully attach bracket to pcb.

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

STEP 1

PLACING THE BLOCK ON THE GRAPHICS CARD

This procedure is the same for all full-cover water blocks.

Carefully position the water block with preinstalled standoffs on

the graphics card. During this process, make sure you have aligned

mounting holes of the PCB with holes of the water block (the same

applies to other tops).

Pay attention not to use too much force when pressing the

block down to the PCB since chip dies are prone to cracking.
