EK, the premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is launching a specialized water block that fits two distinct GPUs from Gigabyte - Aorus GeForce RTX 4090 Master and Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING. EK-Quantum Vector² Master RTX 4090 D-RGB comes in the form of a water block with a passive backplate. The all-new Aorus RTX 4090 Master and Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming cards are expected to be significantly more powerful than their 40-series counterparts. And while their efficiency is also improved, these cards still pull over 450 W, which means they will benefit even more from water cooling, mainly due to the 4 nm production process, which increases thermal density compared to the previous 8 nm chips. To top it off, the Master is a behemoth of a card, and opting for water cooling instead of the factory-mounted air cooler, allows you to shrink it several times in the thickness department.

The EK-Quantum Vector² Master RTX 4090 is a single-package liquid cooling solution consisting of a Vector² series water block and black-anodized aluminium backplate. As with the previous 30-series Vector² water blocks, its aesthetics are dominated by minimalist straight lines and the backplate coming around the side of the GPU to cover the PCB completely.

EK, the premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is now introducing the ultimate water cooling solution for ROG Strix and ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards.

The all-new RTX 4090 Strix and TUF cards are expected to be significantly more powerful than their 30-series counterparts. And while their efficiency is also improved, these cards still pull over 450 W, which means they will benefit even more from water cooling, mainly due to the 4 nm production process, which increases thermal density compared to the previous 8 nm chips.

EK­, the premium water-cooling gear manufacturer, is introducing a new portfolio of Quantum Line terminals from the Scalar² family. The two products that come in the first wave include EK-Quantum Scalar² Terminal - Plexi and EK-Quantum Scalar² DirectLink Terminal - Plexi. These are see-through acrylic versions of the current terminals for Vector² water blocks and Vector² ABP sets. In the future, the Scalar² family will grow. So, you can expect more similar products like SFF terminals, multi-GPU terminals, and much more.

This see-through terminal replaces the stock black POM acetal terminal on the Vector² GPU water blocks. It has four G1/4" ports, two on the top and two at the bottom. Sleek magnetic covers can be used to conceal the terminal screws that allow rotation of the branding when the GPU water block is inverted in the case or is being used on a vertical GPU mount. The screws and magnetic plate should be re-used from the original terminal and are not a part of the Scalar² package.

EK, the premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is releasing a unique pump-reservoir-water block combo for Intel 12th Gen Core CPUs and LGA 1700 socket-based motherboards. It features the latest socket-specific EK-Quantum Velocity² cooling engine, while the CPU water block has an integrated DDC 4.2 PWM pump that is cooled by the metal part of the water block acting as a heatsink. The combo is the perfect companion for ITX (SFF) builds where space for a dedicated pump and reservoir is an issue. This product effectively combined four different products into a single small enclosure for ultimate space-saving.

The product combines a Velocity² CPU water block, a genuine DDC 4.2 PWM pump with a reservoir, and a DDC heatsink. All this is contained in an assembly significantly smaller than the sum of its parts. A total of four products in a footprint of a hefty CPU water block that fits perfectly. EK-Quantum Velocity² series CPU water blocks embed the next-generation cooling engine. They use a specific combination of mounting pressure and coldplate geometry tailored for the IHS and die layout of Intel LGA 1700 socket processors. Low hydraulic flow restriction enables these products to be used in setups with weaker water pumps or lower pump speeds for added silent operation while still being able to easily achieve top performance. The lathe-turned coldplate is made with precision to cover the IHS effectively and put pressure on the die area.

EK, the premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is releasing new loop cleaning and prepping solutions compatible with EK-CryoFuel coolants and all EK tubing types. The goal is to enable EK customers to extend their coolants' life and avoid contamination breakdowns by using safe and compatible chemicals. An added benefit for the customers is they can now get everything in the EK shop, avoiding additional transport costs.

The purpose of the EK-Cryofuel Loop Cleaner is to clean your existing loop before pouring in new coolant or to fully prepare a new, unused custom loop. It removes any manufacturing residues, impurities, and coolant stains. This is not a stand-alone product as it requires a subsequent use of the Superflush solution to pick up any residue from the cleaner and ensure maximum stability of your new coolant.

EK, the leading professional computer liquid cooling manufacturer, launches two new EK-Pro Quick Disconnect Manifold kits for 2CPU/2GPU and 2CPU/4GPU system configurations.

The EK-Pro manifold system, combined with QDCs, enables users to easily add or remove water blocks within the cooling loop without draining the entire system. This prevents downtime for workstations and other professionally used computer setups.

It features a full acetal body, stainless steel end caps, and nickel-plated brass plugs. Pre-assembled, out of the box, it is set up to be used in a semi-parallel setup. The kit contains a universal manifold mounting system that can be used in various scenarios. The steel mounting plate is equipped with 120 mm and 140 mm fan mounting patterns found in almost all computer and workstation cases. CPC's dripless quick disconnect couplings (QDCs) are made of ultra-durable PPSU and are compatible with most industry standard coolants and cooling loop materials. They support a wide range of operating temperatures and, thanks to the quality lubrication of the valve mechanisms and stainless-steel springs, will provide smooth operation for up to 10,000 cycles. EPDM's O-rings and seals ensure a long service life free of leaks.

EK, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, is announcing the latest generation of EK-Quantum Velocity² water blocks. These socket-specific water blocks are engineered specifically for the upcoming AMD AM5 socket and Ryzen 7000-series CPUs. Like its AM4 predecessor, the AM5 water block features EK-Matrix7 compatibility, which means it's designed according to the standard where the product's height and port distance are managed in 7 mm increments.

The product deploys a modified Velocity² cooling engine optimized for Ryzen 7000-series CPUs to ensure the best cooling performance and optimal coolant flow. While the mounting hole pattern of the new AM5 socket is still 54 x 90 mm, the AM5 motherboards now have an integrated CPU socket backplate with #UNC 6-32 threads, therefore requiring a new mounting system.

EK, the leading computer liquid cooling solutions provider, is introducing a new vertical GPU mounting bracket. This is a shifted version of the EK-Loop Vertical GPU Holder EVO - Gen4 Riser and is intended for PC cases with horizontal bars between the PCIe expansion slots. It is the most secure and rigid vertical GPU mounting mechanism, as it stands out for the way it uses two ATX motherboard mounting points to additionally secure the graphics card. Not only is this unique holder implementing unique mounting technologies, but it also uses thicker materials compared to other competitive solutions on the market. The list of upgrades to the original design also includes the offset-ability, PCIe 4.0 riser cable, EK-Matrix7 compliance, and compatibility with EK-Quantum Vector Active Backplates.

Displaying your water-cooled graphics card or, alternatively, a GPU with a standard massive air cooler has become increasingly popular over the years. One way to do this is to use the special aftermarket brackets that mount the GPU vertically if the case is not already equipped with vertical PCIe slots. However, the user often faces issues with how these solutions work since they don't offer enough support, allowing the GPU to move around, sag, and stay crooked. This can significantly impair the aesthetics of said PC, which is a major problem as improving the looks is the main purpose of this bracket. Things can be even more challenging with liquid cooling, especially when installing fittings and tubing onto a vertically placed GPU. Not to mention trying to ship a PC with a vertically mounted GPU.

EK Water Blocks, possibly the most notable manufacturer of DIY PC cooling solutions, has downsized a quarter of its staff in response to a sharp drop in sales. This affects over 60 of the 200+ tech jobs in Slovenia, the home country of EKWB, something it proudly flaunts. EKWB sees its sales principally split in half between the North American and European markets. The company's market-presence in Asia is limited at this time, although it is now a reinvigorated area of interest. The company noticed quarterly sales-drops in steps as big as 20 percent since October 2021, according to Slovenian press reports.

The company is faulting these sales drops on the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically its economic impact, spike in PC hardware prices, and people spending less on premium/novelty hardware that EKWB principally specializes in—DIY liquid cooling solutions. The company also noted the impact of the war in Ukraine causing various commodity shortages for manufacturers in Europe. Matjaž Krč (CEO, EKWB) in a statement even blamed the sociological impact of COVID-19, specifically gaps between pandemic waves that enable people to travel and enjoy the outdoors—not wanting to spend on things that keep them indoors, such as gaming.
