EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium computer liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is proud to introduce a new Full-Cover water block, designed and engineered specificaly for MSI Gaming 4G series NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 graphics cards - the EK-FC970 GTX TF5.

EK-FC970 GTX TF5 - with TF5 standing as Twin Frozr V (5) abbrevation - is a high-performance Full-Cover water block, co-developed with MSI engineering team. The cooler actively cools the GPU, RAM as well as VRM (voltage regulation module) as water flows directly over these critical areas thus allowing the graphics card and it's VRM to remain stable under high overclocks.



EK-FC970 GTX TF5 water block features EK unique central inlet split-flow cooling engine design for best possible cooling performance, which also works flawlessly with reversed water flow without adversely affecting the cooling performance. Moreover, such design offers great hydraulic perfromance allowing this product to be used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps.

Base is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper while the top is made of quality POM Acetal or acrylic (depending on the variant). Screw-in brass standoffs are pre-installed and allow for safe installation procedure.

These water blocks are made in Slovenia, Europe and are readily available for purchase through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network with shipping commencing November 17th 2014. An aesthetic retention backplate, which also cools the memory IC on the backside of the circuit board, will be available for purchase in early December 2014.

Isn't it weird that the fin array is rotated 45 degrees when the die is parallel with the PCB?

AMD cards have GPU at 45 degree and this is not for AMD card and thus it is weird so the answer is yes.
