EK Water Blocks is launching new EK-Quantum Vector TUF water blocks made for the ASUS® TUF AMD® Radeon™ RX 6800/6900 Series GPU.
EK Quantum Vector TUF Water Blocks For ASUS TUF Gaming RX 6800/6900
The new EK QV water-blocks implement an Open Split-Flow cooling engine design, which is a much effective way to cool GPUs. 2nd generation of the QV water blocks features optimized flow paths that reduce hydrodynamic instabilities and vortexing and also allows the copper cold plate to extend almost to the entire length of the PCB.
The base of the water block is made out of CNC-machined out of high-grade nickel-plated electrolytic copper, while the top is CNC-machined out of glass-like cast Acrylic. The new 2nd generation Vector GPU water blocks also feature acetal terminals. While the watertight sealing has been ensured by the high-quality EPDM O-rings, there are also pre-installed brass standoffs for a safer and easier installation experience.
