STEP 3: INSTALLING THE WATER BLOCK
1. PLACING THE WATER BLOCK ON MOTHERBOARD. Place the EK-FB ASUS C5F-Z series water block with pre-installed 2.1mm standoffs kit gently to the motherboard or vice
versa. Make sure that mounting holes are aligned.
STEP 4: ATTACHING BLOCK TO MOTHERBOARD
STEP 5: CHECKING FOR CONTACTS
Prior to fastening the screws please make sure the mounting holes on the motherboard’s
circuit board are aligned with water block.
Use six M2.5x4 DIN7985 screws and washers: Tighten the screws, beginning near the
center of the board and continue evenly outwards. Do not use excessive force when
tightening the screws!
Temporarily r emove the water block to check for uniform surface contact between
the block and the components. Note the pattern of contact on a piece of paper.
Then repeat steps 3 and 4 to reattach the block applying more or less pressure to
the areas where you have found it necessary. Note that there is no need for
perfect thermal pad imprint on the inductors/coils (mentioned in STEP2)
6. POSITIONING FITTINGS AND CONNECTING TO WATER CIRCUIT
Attach the liquid cooling tubes and connect the water-block(s) into the cooling circuit. EKWB recommends using EK-PSC compression fittings with the EK-FB ASUS C5F-Z series
water block. You can use any opening as an inlet/outlet port. Plan your tubing routing in advance!
