EK Comes Back to the X299 Stage With an Encore

EK®, the European premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is releasing a new Intel® X299 socket based monoblock belonging to the Quantum Line of products, the EK-Quantum Momentum ROG Rampage VI Encore D-RGB. This monoblock is engineered specifically for the ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore motherboard from ASUS®. The addressable D-RGB LED in the monoblock is compatible with ASUS Aura Sync RGB control and offering a full lighting customization experience for every single diode at any given time.

EK-Quantum Momentum ROG Rampage VI Encore D-RGB

This is a complete all-in-one (CPU and motherboard) liquid cooling solution for Intel® Socket 2066 Core™ X-Series Processors and the monoblock is covering the entire VRM section of the ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore motherboard. Using a monoblock gets rid of the two small fans that can be found on this X299 motherboard, hidden under the VRM heatsink grill.

This monoblock uses the latest generation of cooling engine used on the EK® Quantum Lineup to ensure the best possible CPU cooling while not reducing flow to other components. It directly cools the Intel Socket 2066 type CPU, as well as the power regulation (MOSFET) module providing the enthusiasts with a great solution for high and stable overclocks.

Like with every EK monoblock, the EK-Quantum Momentum ROG Rampage VI Encore D-RGB features high flow design and it can be easily used with the system using weaker water pumps or lower pump speed settings as well. The Quantum Momentum monoblock also comes with sophisticated addressable D-RGB lightning which connects to a standard 3-pin 5V D-RGB addressable header. The LED strip cover can easily be removed for adjusting the cable orientation or replacing the Digital LED strip with an ordinary LED strip or any other custom solution as well.

The monoblock is delivered with a CNC machined, black anodized aluminum piece that acts as a heatsink for critical components under the I/O cover, such as the network chip, and at the same time, it is the mount for the factory I/O cover, that embodies the small OLED screen.

The base of the monoblock is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper while the top is made of quality acrylic glass material. The nickel plated brass screw-in standoffs are pre-installed and allow for easy installation.

A Digital (addressable) 3-pin 5V D-RGB LED strip is installed in the monoblock that connects to the motherboard’s 3-pin LED header or it can be connected to any other supported 5V 3-pin LED controller. This product is compatible with ASUS Aura Sync RGB control software. The arrow marking on the 3-pin D-RGB LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the AURA Addressable Gen2 header.
