Just a gentle wiggle side to side, be careful of fan cable to pcb as there are 2 connections, I have seen in videos people pulling white holder from pcb. Then clean GPU and hbm2 with alcohol and don’t be to liberal with thermal paste, and as kapp says don’t over tighten the water block, also make sure thermal pads are cut to size and on the water block in position, follow thermal pad layout from original cooler.

Be vary careful removing paste or waterblock tightening around the HBM chips as it is easy to damage them where they connect to the GPU.

it should be fine for next week, as mine was, you might even get lucky and it will slip past customs
 
All my loop parts arrived today although I've realized I need a bracket adapter for the EK pump to mount it to the rad so had to order that for Friday delivery!

GPU Waterblock from EKWB has arrived in the UK today so should arrive tomorrow :D Should be all ready to go this weekend!

And mine next weekend, this will be fun seeing all of us water cooling them and then comparing what we can get out of them, temps / clocks e.t.c

Will anyone be experimenting with the powerplay mods ? to try and get 1400 hbm and 2400 core :p
