Introduction

EK Water Blocks Logo

Late last year saw the start of our latest round of CPU water block reviews focusing on Intel's LGA 1700 platform. It began with the EK-Quantum Velocity² that is a socket-specific design which makes for a unique, clean installation up front. Soon after we examined blocks from CORSAIR, Raijintek, and Alphacool (twice) and today we complete the round by circling back to EK with its flagship series—the EK-Quantum Magnitude.


If the name is familiar to you then it might be because the EK-Quantum Magnitude was previously reviewed when the product line first launched in early 2020. This was a time when EKWB had gone through some personnel changes in its R&D team and the new people in charge felt they had something to prove. I thought the concept of the EK-Quantum Magnitude back then was quite innovative, and it did test very well on an older CPU platform too. Thanks to EK for providing a review sample to TechPowerUp as we see how the modular design holds up with Intel's newest mainstream CPUs in our review, which begins with a look at the product specifications in the table below.
