EK-Supremacy Classic RGB
CPU WATER 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 www.ekwb.com for updates.
Before 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:
Please carefully read the manual before beginning with the
installation process!
Please remove your graphics card from the computer to assure
safest mounting process in order to prevent any possible damages
to your GPU and/or graphics card circuit board (PCB).
The EK 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.
The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended
for liquid cooling systems, and mandatory for nickel plated
water blocks!
Do not use pure distilled water! For best results EK recommends the
use of EK-CryoFuel coolants!
Make sure to thoroughly bleed air out of your water block, or you will
not reach optimal performance!

INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK

Thumb Screw LGA-20XX M3

LGA20X X 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-20XX M3 thumb screws into four M3
threaded stubs on the LGA-20XX socket integrated latch mechanism
(ILM). The screws are to be installed using no tools (i.e. pliers).
It is recommended to remove the motherboard from 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 thermal com-pound 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!

STEP 3
Align the water block over the mounting screws on the LGA-20XX
motherboard with pre-installed CPU.
Before proceeding with the installation It is mandatory
to remove the protective foil from the backside of the
water block.
Place an enclosed compression spring and thumb nut over each M3
thumb screw. Start fastening two thumb nuts at a time, preferably in cross
pattern and do not tighten them fully until all of them are partially screwed
in. Then - using your fingers only - screw in all four thumb nuts until you
reach the end of the thread.

STEP 4
Tighten the fitting barbs in clockwise direction until the gasket underneath
is compressed.
The installation of the CPU water block is now complete.
With EK-Supremacy Classic RGB series water blocks it
is mandatory to use the port that is nearest to the center
of the water block as INLET port. Mixing the ports may
result in less than ideal thermal performance of the
water block.

LGA115x SOCKET MOTHERBOARDS
STEP 1
If already installed, please remove the motherboard from your
computer and place it on an even surface with front facing down.
STEP 2
Preparing backplate rubber gasket
The enclosed rubber gasket is essential part of the backplate and
mounting system and must be used every time you install this water
block on your motherboard.
STEP 3
IInstall backplate rubber gasket and place metal backplate for Intel®
LGA-115x socket to the back of your motherboard RIBBED SIDE
UP! (facing away from the motherboard) Align the holes on the
motherboard with holes on rubber gasket and backplate.
Make sure to orientate the rubber gasket to fit past the
CPU socket ILM backplate. On certain ITX form factor
motherboards the rubber gas-ket may need to be trimmed
using household scissors.
Carefully rotate motherboard assembly with front side facing up
with one hand while holding the backplate and rubber in place with
the other hand.

STEP 4
Install four (4) M3 thumb screws onto your motherboard. It is
mandatory to put 0.7mm plastic washer underneath each of the
M3 thumb screws. Tighten the screws to the metal backplate until
you reach the end of the thread. Using tools (such as pliers) is not
recommended.
Continue installation by following the instructions on page

Removing of the original plastic hold-down clamps:
Using Philips-head screwdriver remove the four UNC 6-32 screws
securing the original plastic hold-down clamps around the socket as
shown on the sketch. KEEP the original AMD® backplate and remove
the hold-down clamps and store them away. See sketch for further
part identification.

with the CPU water block delivery.
Install four (4) M3 thumb screws onto your motherboard. It is man-
datory to put plastic AM4 standoff underneath each of the M3 thumb
screws. The screws are to be installed using no tools (i.e. pliers).

RGB LED Connector
CONNECTING THE RGB LED STRIP
STEP 1
Plug the 4-pin connector from Water block’s LED light to the RGB
HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin layout on
the header is as follows: +12V G R B.
Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector
is plugged into the +12V line as indicated on your
motherboard.
Failure to do so, will damage your motherboard or LED strip.
