Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Fasten the provided
fittings to the Obsidian water-
block using a 5/8” “deep
socket”. Give each fitting a
firm lock to prevent it from
loosening.
Step 2: Remove the stock cooling solution from the
graphics card, then carefully clean off the GPU, the
RAM modules and the Mosfets with an electronics
degreaser; then squeeze the equivalent of a dime of
Arctic Céramique™ thermal compound at the center of
GPU and a tiny drop on each of the memory modules
and Mosfet chips.
Step 3: Position the Obsidian on your graphic
card then flip the card over while keeping the
water block mounting holes aligned with the card
mounting holes, and fasten the 8 spring-loaded
screws progressively & alternatively. Install the
Mosfet heatsink following the same procedure if
you purchased it with your water-block.
Last Step: Re-install the graphics card to the
motherboard, connect the tubing to the Obsidian water-
block and secure the tubing with the provided hose-
clamps.
Always test your setup extensively for leaks before
you energize your system!
