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 when installing the EK-Quantum Vector FE RTX 4090 water block onto your graphics card.
CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS STEP 1 Thermal Pad F – 1.0 mm (120 x 16 mm) The 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.
APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND STEP 1 Apply the enclosed thermal grease (thermal compound) on the GPU 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.

STEP 2 M2.5 x 4 AX1 SCREW Use five (5) M2.5 x 4 AX1 Screws and PVC washers to tighten the PCB on the water block. Tighten the screws evenly using the M2.5 PVC Phillips-head screwdriver. EK recommends you start tightening the WASHER screws around the GPU core first, and then continuing outward to prevent damage to the GPU.
INSTALLING THE BACKPLATE STEP 1 Thermal Pad F – 1.0 mm (120 x 16 mm) After attaching the water block, a few more thermal pads need to be cut into smaller pieces to cover all the necessary components. EK made sure to provide you with more than an adequate quantity of 1 mm 120 mm thermal pads to complete this step.
ATTACHING THE BACKPLATE STEP 1 Position the I/O Bracket and backplate (including screws and BACKPLATE standoffs) onto the GPU PCB. Make sure all the holes are aligned. Tighten the screws evenly. Before attaching the backplate, make sure all the Thermal Pads are placed correctly! Do not use excessive force! For this step, you will need:...
CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP STEP 1 Plug the 3-pin connector of the distribution plate D-RGB LED light to the D-RGB HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Digital, Empty, Ground.
