EK Water Blocks 3831109862568 computer cooling system part/accessory Water block by EK Water Blocks

The Ultimate GPU Cooling Enclosure
This ultimate cooling set consists of a high-performance GPU water block and the latest generation of Active Backplate cooling solutions as a single enclosure. The GPU backside cooling is now provided by a full-blown water block with its own copper cold plate and a full-length acrylic top. The connectivity is also taken to another level with the "Direct Link" terminals that implement a conventional 4-port layout, that allows serial and parallel connections from adjacent or opposing sides of the block.

Technical and Visual Master Piece
The new look of the next-gen water blocks is dominated by minimalistic straight lines. An 11mm thick copper cold plate and a full-sized backplate water block are used for all Vector² GPU Active Backplate cooling enclosures. For Plexi versions, D-RGB Lighting is now deployed on the longest edge of both the front and backside water blocks for improved fidelity and brightness from every viewing angle. The LED PCB is concealed inside clean aluminum extrusions.

EK-Matrix7 Support
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.

What is Included in the Package
It includes an EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi water block, EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 ABP - D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi, and the EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 ABP Side Cover - Black along with the mounting gear and necessary TIM.

EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 ABP Set D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi
The EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 ABP Set D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi GPU water block enclosure is compatible with MSI Trio as well as Suprim RTX 3080, 3080 Ti, and 3090 graphics cards. The Vector water block actively cools the GPU, VRAM (on the front), power stages, and chokes in the VRM (voltage regulation module), the PCB hotspots that are found on the backside of the GPU core, and the VRM (voltage regulation module). On the RTX 3090, the VRAM located on the backside is actively cooled, while the RTX 3080 gets cooling for the PCB located around the front-mounted VRAM. Cooling liquid is channeled over all these critical areas.

Direct Link Terminal
These new Vector² GPU water block and active backplate sets feature a Direct Link flow solution - the first multiple block solution to implement a conventional 4-port terminal layout. That allows serial and parallel connections from adjacent or opposing sides of the block. It was made possible by the addition of a machined brass insert in the terminal itself that diagonally links the water block directly to the active backplate inside the acetal terminal. Direct Link proves invaluable when flexibility is required for the right setup, like in a case of a distribution plate or vertical GPU mount.

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

Addressable D-RGB Compatibility
Addressable D-RGB LED lighting is deployed on the longest edge of both top and backside water blocks 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
