Installation manual for EK-FB ASUS R4BE Monoblock 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 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:

1. Please carefully read the manual before through before beginning with the installation process!

2. Please remove your motherboard from the computer to assure safest mounting process in order to prevent any possible damages to your CPU and/or motherboard’s circuit board (PCB).

3. The EK High Flow and EK-CSQ type 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.

4. The use of quality, market proved corrosion inhibiting coolants is always strongly recommended for any liquid cooling system.

, as shown on sample photo) of the

original thermal compound until the components and circuit board are

completely clean. EKWB recommends the use of denatured alcohol for

removing TIM leftovers.

3. APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

. Apply thermal compound:

lightly coat the Intel X79 (PCH) – see sample photo on the left and

CPU heat spreader (IHS) - see sample photo on right

with

enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease.

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!

4. CUTTING THERMAL PADS.

Your block comes with thermal pads which needs to be trimmed in order to fit the voltage

regulation area (VRM/MOSFET) on the motherboard’s circuit board. WARNING: DIMENSIONS ON PICTURES BELOW ARE

SCALED.

1: Thermal pad A – 0.5mm

(for VRM/MOSFET):

Replacement thermal pads @ EKWB web shop:

Thermal PAD A 1mm - (100x16mm) [EAN: 383]

Thermal PAD A 0.5mm - (100x16mm) [EAN: 383]

2: Thermal pad A – 1.0mm

(for inductor coils):

5. PLACING THERMAL PADS ON MOTHERBOARD.

Place thermal pads you cut on PCB as shown on picture bellow (PLEASE REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FOIL FROM BOTH

SIDES OF THE THERMAL PADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION). EK recommends using small drops of electrically non-conductive (for example: EK-Ectotherm, Gelid GC-Extreme,

Arctic Cooling MX-2 ™ or MX-4 ™) thermal grease on each phase regulator (that is being covered with thermal pad; see picture below) in order to even further improve the

thermal performance of the EK-FB ASUS RE4BE Monoblock series water block.

Place 0.5mm thermal pads in larger

strips over marked area and make sure

all mosfet chips are covered.

Place 1mm thermal pads in larger strips over

the coils (inductors). This is merely to prevent

any possible short circuiting. Due to the

uneven nature of motherboard manufacturing

not all of the inductors will have contact with

the thermal pad. This is normal.

STEP 5: PLACING THE BLOCK ON TO MOTHERBOARD STEP 6: ATTACHING BLOCK ON TO THE MOTHERBOARD

Prior to fastening the screws please make sure the mounting holes on the

sure that mounting holes are aligned.

A) SB part: Use five M3x4 DIN7985 and washers. Tighten the screws, beginning near

the south bridge, and continue evenly outwards. Do not use excessive force when

tightening the screws!

B) MOSFET part: Use ASUS factory (“stock”) backplate and two M3x8 DIN7985

screws. Do not use excessive force when tightening the screws!

C) CPU part: Use four M4x8 DIN7985 screws and washers. Tighten the screws using

enclosed Alley Key 2.5mm.

8. POSITIONING FITTINGS AND CONNECTING TO WATER CIRCUIT

For the EK-FB ASUS R4BE Monoblock series water block to operate properly the G1/4 port nearest to the center of the water block MUST BE USED AS THE

INLET PORT. EK recommends the use of EK-CSQ fittings. When using fittings other than EK-CSQ series please use hose clamps or appropriate substitute to

secure the tubing to the barb. The use of biocide containing and corrosion inhibiting coolant is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.
