4) Be sure to fully clean the GPU (see picture) with a high-percentage
Isopropyl Alcohol—preferably 90% or higher—and a lint-free cloth to
remove all thermal compound.
5) Remove the watercooler from the FTW Hybrid Cooling
Kit packaging, then separate the shroud, copper memory
plate, and heatsink and fan. Carefully place the new
heatsink and fan over the VRM, making sure to line up the
screw holes on the graphics card’s PCB. Secure the new
heatsink and fan to the graphics card using a single screw,
as shown in the image below:
6) Remove the plastic cover on top of the waterblock.
The waterblock comes with pre-applied thermal
compound. First, line up the copper heatsink such that
the thermal pads go over the memory. Then, mount the
waterblock to the card, using the picture below as a
guide. Use the spring-loaded screws you previously
removed in Step 2 to secure the waterblock to the card.
