EK Water Blocks 3831109902844 computer cooling system part/accessory Water block by EK Water Blocks

High-Performance GPU Cooling
The new Vector² water blocks effortlessly solve the issue of excessive heat generation during high load on the GPU core, voltage regulation module, and the GDDR6X VRAM of the MSI Trio and MSI SUPRIM RTX 4080 Graphic cards.

Technical and Visual Master Piece
Minimalistic straight lines dominate the look of the next-gen water blocks. An 11mm-thick copper coldplate is used for all Vector² GPU water blocks. For Plexi versions, D-RGB Lighting is now deployed on the longest edge of the water block for improved fidelity and brightness from every viewing angle. The LED PCB is concealed inside a clean aluminum extrusion.

EK-Matrix7 Support - For Easier Loop Assembly and Straight Lines
Matrix7 standardizes the dimensions of the products, including the port position and spacing, making liquid cooling loop assembly more intuitive and easier. EK-Quantum Vector² GPU cooling enclosures follow the EK-Matrix7 standard, making them seamlessly integrate with EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plates. This brings compatibility with the EK vertical GPU mount l perfect alignment of ports in both horizontal and vertical positions, meaning less time used for planning of the loop, bending tubes, and the end result will still be an epic build.

New Cooling Engine - For Best Cooling in Every Scenario
The Vector² water block actively cools the GPU, VRAM, power stages, and passively the PCB hotspots that are found on the backside of the GPU core, VRAM, and the VRM (voltage regulation module).

The implemented Vector² cooling engine uses a novel 3D-machined acrylic insert to improve flow distribution and thermal performance. This new cooling engine is based on an Open Split-Flow design, but the asymmetric shape of the jet insert helps distribute an even flow between the first and last copper fins. The fin structure geometry has been optimized to provide even flow distribution with minimal losses and optimal performances even when used in reversed water flow scenarios. It is also characterized by low hydraulic flow restriction, meaning it can be used with weaker water pumps or pumps running on low-speed settings, and still achieve top performance.

Premium Materials and Clever Engineering for Longevity and Top Performance
All Vector² GPU water blocks use an 11mm-thick copper coldplate with an acetal terminal attached directly to it to create a robust assembly. A single O-ring design creates a seal between the coldplate and the water block top, reducing the number of failure points. This also means that you have previously seen the end of stainless-steel bridge plates utilized on GPU water blocks. A simple construction that provides confidence during customization and maintenance. Tactile magnetic covers are used to conceal the terminal screws, allowing the branding to rotate when the GPU is inverted in the case.

The coldplate is CNC-machined out of high-quality, pure electrolytic copper, which is then nickel-plated, while its top is CNC-machined out of glass-like cast acrylic. The black anodized backplate has a new L-shaped profile that connects with the water block base and encloses the entire GPU while increasing the cooling surface leading to even better performance.

Included Backplate
For the first time, captive backplate screws are added to the backplate. They simplify installation, ensuring the correct length is always used where needed, preventing user errors or second-guessing.

The backplate improves your graphics card’s overall aesthetics and provides additional passive cooling for the backside of the printed circuit board VRM, core, and VRAM sections.

Rotatable Magnetic Covers
Sleek magnetic covers are used to conceal the terminal screws, allowing the branding to rotate when the GPU water block and active backplate enclosure are inverted in the case or used on a vertical GPU mount.

Addressable D-RGB Compatibility
Addressable D-RGB LED lighting is deployed on the longest edge of the water block for improved uniformity and brightness. The PCB and diodes are concealed inside a clean aluminum extrusion. The individually-addressable RGB LED is compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers. The arrow marking on the 3-pin D-RGB LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB (addressable) header (Pinout: +5V | Data | Blocked | Ground).

Vector² Water Blocks Won an iF Design Award
EK’s premium water blocks from the Quantum Vector² product line boast one of the iF Design Awards for 2022. These prestigious awards signify top-tier design levels delivered by our products to both consumers and the design community. Not only do Vector² water blocks have aesthetically pleasing looks to deserve these awards, but they also bring patent-pending technologies and valuable features to the table.
