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 EVGA® GeForce® GTX 980 Classified K|NGP|N Edition graphics cards – the EK-FC980 GTX Classy KPE.

EK-FC980 GTX Classy KPE – with Classy KPE standing as Classified K|NGP|N Edition abbrevation – is a high-performance Full-Cover water block, designed for EVGA® non-reference Classified K|NGP|N Edition GeForce® GTX 980 graphics cards. 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.

Like all modern EK Full Cover water blocks this product features EK unique central inlet split-flow cooling engine design for best possible cooling performance – the same mechanism 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 either POM Acetal or acrylic material (depends on the variant). Screw-in brass standoffs are pre-installed and allow for safe installation procedure.

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

These water blocks are made in Slovenia, Europe and are readily available for purchase through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. An aesthetic retention backplate, which also cools the backside of the circuit board, is also available for separate purchase.
