EK announces the global launch of their new high-end Quantum Product Line. It includes the roll-out of their first two top-of-the-line water block products: Velocity and Vector. EK-Velocity is the new high-performance flagship premium quality CPU water block featuring the fifth iteration of the award-winning EK cooling engine for modern Intel and AMD processors. The EK-Vector RTX 2000 series is the new generation of high-performance water blocks for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX series graphics cards, based on Turing TU104 and Turing TU102 graphics processor. EK has been making great quality water blocks for years and I've always liked how they look.

    Can't wait to get my hands on one of these. Just got the H700i for 80 dollars on Reddit x] This would probably look pretty dope in it!

    When ek initially posted this, they had the GTX 1080ti block as the picture, lol. Glad to see they made it switch to the 20Xx blocks now.

    I have that block on my 2080ti. The backplate is beautiful. I have some gripes though.... rgb sure is sloppy.

    Hahah, still learning on how to synchronize my RGB lighting. My system is clean but with a clutter of different uncoordinated colors. Sloppy RGB's are kind of my thing

    I think I've seen those before

    Great looking Water Block 
     


    Still testing before I install them on my RTX project - current build

    Sloppy meaning ek’s Implementation. The wire is nonsensical as it is hanging off the wrong side. They do not show this in any pictures I have seen. Also my block is very dim.

    Ek should have put the less down the back edge of the card, near the pci bracket, along the long edge. Using the short edge was a mistake on their part.

    Exactly. It also looks like the wire on the CPU block is on the bottom which also makes no sense.
