The document describes the N-GV4080EOC-X GPU Waterblock, a component designed for liquid cooling of graphics processing units (GPUs). This waterblock is manufactured by Bykski Europe and is specifically compatible with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 PCB.
Function Description
The N-GV4080EOC-X GPU Waterblock is designed to replace the stock cooler of a graphics card, providing enhanced thermal management through liquid cooling. By circulating coolant over the GPU and other critical components, it dissipates heat more efficiently than air cooling, leading to lower operating temperatures, improved performance stability, and potentially higher overclocking potential. The waterblock covers the GPU core, memory modules, and VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules), ensuring comprehensive cooling for all heat-generating components on the PCB.

Usage Features
The N-GV4080EOC-X waterblock is an integral part of a custom liquid cooling loop. Its installation involves several steps:
-
Preparation of the Graphics Card:
- Remove the stock cooler from the GPU.
- Clean the GPU die and other components of any original thermal paste using a non-abrasive cloth.
- Apply the enclosed thermal pads to the memory and VRMs on both the front and backside of the graphics card. It is crucial to ensure that the memory and VRMs (marked in yellow in the manual) are covered by thermal pads to prevent damage. No thermal pads are required on the coils.
- Apply a thin and even layer of thermal paste to the entire surface of the GPU chip.
-
Installation of Washers:
- Place the provided washers on the premounted screws on the backside of the waterblock, ensuring they create the right space between the waterblock and the graphics card.
-
Installation of the Block:
- Carefully place the PCB of the graphics card on top of the waterblock, aligning the screw holes.
- Attach the waterblock to the graphics PCB using the M2x5mm spring screws, tightening them carefully.
- Secure the backplate to the back of the graphics card using the M2x9.5mm screws in the corresponding positions.
-
Compatibility Check: Before purchasing and installing, users must verify the compatibility of the cooler with their specific GPU by comparing the PCB on page 2 of the manual with their GPU. The manufacturer provides an online configurator at https://ezmodding.com/en for this purpose.
-
System Integration: Once installed, the waterblock is connected to a liquid cooling loop, which typically includes a pump, radiator, reservoir, and tubing.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of the N-GV4080EOC-X waterblock and the entire liquid cooling system.
- Coolant Usage: Only "Aquacomputer DP-Ultra" liquid or other approved fluids should be used. The use of other fluids occurs at the user's own risk and may lead to corrosion or damage.
- Cleaning: Bykski GPU coolers must only be cleaned with distilled water. Never use cleaning agents containing alcohol or acid, as these can cause destruction of the acrylic components and may attack the nickel plating.
- Screw Tightening: Tighten the screws and fittings carefully and firmly. Avoid using brute force, which could damage the components.
- Bleeding Air: After installation, thoroughly bleed air out of the water block. Incomplete bleeding can reduce cooling capacity and potentially lead to issues.
- Material Compatibility: Only plastic, copper, or brass components should be used in the circuit. Other materials can lead to corrosion and damage to the waterblock.
- Users must read the complete manual before beginning the installation process.
- No liability is accepted for installation errors.
- Before mounting, check the compatibility of the cooler with the GPU.
- Ensure all fluids used are approved.
- Avoid using cleaning agents with alcohol or acid.
- Tighten screws and fittings carefully.
- Thoroughly bleed air from the water block.
