EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 4080 D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi

OverviewHigh-Performance GPU Cooling The new Vector² water blocks effortlessly solve the issue of excessive heat generation during high load on the GPU core, voltage regulation module, and the GDDR6X VRAM of the ROG Strix and ASUS TUF RTX 4080 Graphic cards. Backplate Included The package now contains: A high-performance GPU water block of the latest generation Premium quality CNC-machined backplate Mounting mechanism Thermal paste Thermal pads Custom-made Dual-Slot GPU Bracket GPU and PCI power cable release tool A black, full-coverage backplate is included with the GPU water block. Its distinctive L-shaped profile encloses the entire GPU while, at the same time, increasing the cooling surface area. The backplate also comes with pre-installed captive backplate screws that simplify the installation. They ensure that the correct size screw is always used where it is needed. Technical and Visual Master Piece The look of the next-gen water blocks is dominated by minimalistic straight lines. A 10mm thick copper cold plate is used for all Vector² GPU water blocks. For Plexi versions, D-RGB Lighting is now deployed on the longest edge of the water block for improved fidelity and brightness from every viewing angle. The LED PCB is concealed inside a clean aluminum extrusion. EK-Matrix7 Support - For Easier Loop Assembly and Straight Lines 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. EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 4080 D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi The EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 4080 D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi GPU water block + backplate set is compatible with: ROG Strix and ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4080 For a precise compatibility match of this water block, we recommend you refer to the EK Cooling Configurator. New Cooling Engine - For Best Cooling In Every Scenario The Vector water block actively cools the GPU, VRAM, power stages, and passively the PCB hotspots that are found on the backside of the GPU core, VRAM, and the VRM (voltage regulation module) through the backplate. The implemented Vector² cooling engine uses a novel 3D machined acrylic insert to improve flow distribution and thermal performance. This new cooling engine is based on an Open Split-Flow design, but the asymmetric shape of the jet insert helps distribute an even flow between the first and last copper fins. The fin structure geometry has been optimized to provide even flow distribution with minimal losses and optimal performances even when used in reversed water flow scenarios. It is also characterized by low hydraulic flow restriction, meaning it can be used with weaker water pumps or pumps running on low-speed settings and still achieve top performance. Great care was taken to achieve a symmetrical flow domain by utilizing an internal bridge to secondary components. This was done to ensure the cooling of secondary components without sacrificing flow distribution over the GPU core.
