HELP!! All EK 8800GTX Owners in here

[AFK_Matrix]

Ok,

Am trying to setup my loop with a new EK 8800GTX Acetal block. Now all is going fine and dandy but, in the box i have 2 silver donut shaped pieces around 1.5-2cm in diameter. There is also 2 rubber o rings for them as well, but for the life of me i can't figure out where they go!!!

And before you ask they are not the caps for the other side of where the barbs go, these are extra???

Well confused as the instructions makes no mention of them

If they're the same plugs as the ones you use to block the other side of, maybe you just got 2 spares incase you .... yeah?

If you don't use the supplied fittings and the thread height of your own fitting is too long it will hit the inside of the water block before you tighten it down fully. You can use those spacers to raise your fitting by the required amount.

I used them to fit Aphacool fittings on the EK NB waterblock

They are spacers for long shaft barbs - not a problem for EK's own barbs. I didn't use the spacers because I used EK barbs but if you use some other barbs such as alphacool then the threads may be too long and restrict flow .
