EK is the first company to announce water blocks for NVIDIA’s RTX 3000 series. The EK-Quantum Vector RTX lineup features four new water blocks for NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3090 & RTX 3080 reference designs.
EK confirmed that the water blocks have been designed for the GA102-based graphics cards from NVIDIA, which will be compatible with the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080. All four water blocks that EKWB is launching today will be compatible with the reference PCB for the GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards.
The EK-Quantum Vector RTX lineup feature models in RGB and Copper flavors and have Acetal and Plexi finishing. All 4 water blocks of the EK-Quantum Vector RTX lineup will be compatible with the reference PCB for the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 graphic cards.
To clear the air, the PCB that comes with the Founders Edition graphics card is not a reference design and is actually a custom design by NVIDIA themselves. To check your graphics card is compatible with the EK-Quantum Vector series water blocks, you can use the EK Cooling Configurator check.
The EK-Quantum Vector RTX water block will directly cool the GPU, VRAM and the VRM with liquid cooling solution channeled over these critical areas as efficiently as possible. These water blocks use an open split-flow design that offers low hydraulic flow restriction allowing it to operate efficiently even with weaker pumps or pumps that operate at low-speed settings.
The base of the EK-Quantum water block is CNC machined out of either nickel or high-grade electrolytic copper while the top is CNC machined out of glass-like cast acrylic or durable black POM acetal.
All the EK-Quantum RTX series water blocks come with a 2-year warranty and are available for purchase. They are available on EK’s official website.
