EK Working on Full Cover Water Block for Radeon R9 285 Cards

[Cristian_25H]

EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium computer liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is working on a new Full Cover water block for the latest AMD Radeon R9 285 reference design Tonga GPU powered graphics card.

The upcoming EK-FC R9-285 will be a high performance full-cover water block for engineered specifically for AMD reference design Radeon R9 285 graphics cards and will be available in two variants - Nickel Plexi and Nickel Acetal. Just like the Full-Cover water block for the flagship Radeon R9 290(X) variant, this cooler will directly cool the GPU, RAM as well as VRM (voltage regulation module) as water will flow directly over these critical areas thus allowing the graphics card and its VRM to remain stable under high overclocks.





Up to four water blocks could be interconnected with EK-FC Terminal which allows for hassle-free piping job. Product will also feature a very high flow design allowing the product to be used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps. An aesthetic backplate, which will also provide passive cooling for the VRM (Voltage Regulation Module) on the backside of the circuit board, will be available for separate purchase.

In order to simplify the search for suitable and compatible water block EK is adding newly released AMD Tonga powered graphics cards from various manufacturers to EK Cooling Configurator database and compatible graphics cards are being added to the list on daily basis.

EK-FC R9-285 series water block is slated for release in mid October 2014.

Thanks EK for your constant press releases. EK must have as many PR people as engineers.

I'll be awaiting their followup press releases:

• One press release when the R9 285 water block is nearing release,
• One press release when the R9 285 water block is actually released
• One press release for to each major AIB vendor of R9 285 confirming compatibility with their brand of cards (even if all boards are based on the same reference design)
• One press release when they begin to offer the R9 285 water block in different colors and/or with a different pattern on its top
• One press release for when a successor to the R9 285 is released and this water block is confirmed compatible with it

EK press releases are pretty basic so I don't think that they need a large PR team to keep these up.

Ahahaha those two cracked me up. Because they are SO true.

Well, that's part of the "content marketing". You have to post, so that people know you are still alive. I can't say I have a problem with that. Actually if they stop "releasing" stuff I will be kinda puzzled.
