The EK-Quantum MSI MPG Z590 CARBON EK X offers unparalleled cooling for the VRM section and Intel® 11th Gen Core™ series CPUs thanks to its purpose-designed monoblock cooling solution. MSI's world-class engineering team and EK's industry-leading thermal engineers worked together to bring you the technology that will improve your liquid-cooled PC and enhance its performance. The EK-Quantum MSI MPG Z590 CARBON EK X allows maximum performance without a noisy environment, providing you with countless hours of uninterrupted gameplay.
Its unique design, together with a monoblock that aesthetically blends in with it, is what sets this motherboard apart from the rest. The carbon fiber pattern is there to remind all hard-core gamers that pushing the limits is what gaming is all about. A powerful 16+1+1 Duet Rail Power System provides stable power to the CPU, of which 16 are for the CPU core and one each for the integrated GPU and System Agent. The massive power delivery system allows for high overclocks and, by proxy, a great boost in performance for which the only downside is increased heat generation. This is where the EK monoblock kicks in, to cool down not just the CPU, but the power delivery system as well, also the newly integrated flow indicator provides instant loop operation and coolant flow overview.
The cooling solution is tailor-made for the MSI Z590 CARBON only – this bundle takes out all the guesswork from finding the right monoblock for your motherboard. The included Leak Tester will ensure you make no mistakes during the assembly of the cooling loop, even if you’ve never dealt with custom loop liquid cooling before! On top of the free EK-Loop Leak tester, which is another $40 value, you also get a voucher for the EK webshop that allows you to get your liquid cooling gear with a 50€/$65 discount for your order.
All EK-Quantum MSI MPG Z590 CARBON EK X owners are entitled to a premium customer service that EK provides for all its customers worldwide. If you have any questions, problems, or just want to get in touch, reach out to us through our dedicated support channel. Even if you are just now getting into custom loop liquid cooling, our kind customer support will gladly help with your initial steps if there are any uncertainties.
The base of the monoblock is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper while the top is made of quality CNC-machined cast acrylic glass material, partially covered with a carbon fiber style pattern. The nickel-plated brass screw-in standoffs are pre-installed and allow for easy installation.
The addressable D-RGB is controlled directly via the MSI MYSTIC LIGHT software.
A black POM piece covers the lighting solution, removing any unwanted hotspots, and providing a more uniform lighting experience. The block is equipped with 3-pin 5V Addressable D-RGB LED strip that is compatible with the motherboard’s 3-pin 5V Rainbow header. The arrow marking on the 3-pin LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the Rainbow header.
