EK Water Blocks EK-Quantum Vector Strix RTX 3080/3090 D-RGB - Ni

The EK-Quantum Vector Strix RTX 3080/3090 D-RGB water block is compatible with the ROG Strix RTX 3080 and 3090 graphics cards. The Vector water block actively cools the GPU, the VRAM (on the front), the MOSFETs in the VRM (voltage regulation module), the PWM controller and all chokes including the input rail. The water block contacts each individual inductor to suppress any possible whimpering of the coil. EK water block for Vector ROG Strix 3080/3090 Acetal These newly developed water blocks have optimised flow paths that reduce hydrodynamic instabilities and turbulence (dead spots) in their interior. In addition, this new design allows the copper cold plate to expand almost the entire length of the PCB, which also cools less critical components for maximum efficiency. The EK-Quantum Vector series water blocks use an open split-flow cooling motor design that has proven to be the superior solution for GPU water blocks. It features low hydraulic flow restriction, which means it can be used with weaker water pumps or with pumps running at low speeds and still achieve peak performance. The geometry of the nozzle plate and fin structure has been optimised to ensure even flow distribution with minimum losses and optimum performance in any orientation of the coolant flow. The Fin Array is equipped with 28 micro fins with 0.6 mm wide micro-channels that provide optimum cooling performance without unnecessary flow restrictions or risk of clogging. The base of the block is CNC-machined from nickel-plated electrolytic copper, while the top is CNC-machined from durable black POM acetal. These 2nd generation Vector GPU water blocks also have acetal connections to match the top cover. The watertight seal is ensured by high quality EPDM O-rings, while brass spacers are pre-installed for a safe and easy installation process. D-RGB lighting on EK-Quantum Vector Strix RTX 3080/3090 D-RGB water block The aesthetic corner end piece accommodates the addressable D-RGB LEDs. This water block has a total of 6 individually addressable RGB LEDs and is compatible with the common RGB synchronisation technologies of all major motherboard manufacturers. The arrow marking on the 3-pin D-RGB LED connector must be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB (addressable) pin header. Back plate for the water block ROG Strix 3080/3090 EK recommends the purchase of a retention backplate that improves the overall aesthetics of your graphics cards and also provides additional passive cooling for the GPU core, VRAM on the 3090 cards and the back of the VRM area of the board.
