USER GUIDE
GPU WATER BLOCK
EK-Quantum
Vector XC3 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
STEP 1
REMOVING THE STOCK COOLER
OPTION 1 – GPU Versions Without a Backplate
Some versions of this GPU don’t have a backplate (e.g., EVGA GeForce
RTX 3080 XC3 BLACK GAMING).
Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the eleven marked screws
and the Stock Cooler Backplate from the backside of the GPU. You do
not have to remove the unmarked I/O Bracket screw.
Carefully detach the PCB from the stock cooler and disconnect all
cables connecting the stock cooler to the PCB.
Always remove the stock cooler slowly - it might be firmly
glued to the PCB with thermal pads.
You will need the following tool:

STEP 2
CLEANING THE PCB
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. After that,
remove all remaining stock thermal pads from the PCB.
OPTION 2 – GPU Versions With a Backplate
Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the twelve marked screws
and the Stock Cooler Backplate from the backplate’s side.
Carefully detach the PCB from the stock cooler and the backplate, and
disconnect all cables connecting the stock cooler to the PCB.
Always remove the stock cooler slowly - it might be firmly
glued to the PCB with thermal pads.

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.
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.
Thermal pads:

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: Thermal Grease - EAN: 3830046998446
