EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 is a special edition 2nd generation Vector GPU water block from the EK® Quantum Line. It is made for graphics cards based on the latest AMD® RDNA2™ architecture. This water block fits reference PCB designs of the Radeon RX 6800, RX 6800XT, and RX 6900 GPUs. For a precise compatibility match of this water block, we recommend you refer to the EK Cooling Configurator.
Special Edition EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 water block for reference AMD Radeon RX 6800 and 6900 GPUs
The Special Edition block stands out thanks to the black acetal top with aesthetic side-slopes that mimic the new graphics cards’ factory cooler. The top also features an ultra-clean, screwless design because the assembly is done from the backside of the block. The Radeon logo is illuminated by a dense addressable RGB strip allowing for a smooth D-RGB effect.
EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 water block is compatible with reference design Radeon RX 6800, RX6800 XT, and 6900 XT graphics cards. This Special Edition Vector water block directly cools the GPU, VRAM, and the VRM (voltage regulation module) as a cooling liquid is channeled right over these critical areas. The water block is in contact with power stages as well as Inductor chokes to maximize cooling and minimize the chances of coil whine.
These newly developed water blocks feature optimized flow paths that reduce hydrodynamic instabilities and vortexing (dead spots) inside of them. The EK-Quantum Vector Series water blocks use an Open Split-Flow cooling engine design, which proved to be a superior solution for GPU water blocks. It is characterized by low hydraulic flow restriction, meaning it can be used with weaker water pumps or pumps running on low-speed settings, and still achieve top performance. The jet plate and fin structure geometry have been optimized to provide even flow distribution with minimal losses and optimal performance when used in any given coolant flow orientation.
Fin array is populated by 35 microfins with 0.6mm wide microchannels that provide optimal cooling performance, without unnecessary flow restrictions or clogging hazards.
This water block comes with a single-slot bracket PCI-E expansion for a slick and elegant look. The block is slightly thicker than one slot, to avoid having a steel bridge-plate between the VRM and core parts of the block.
The base of the block is CNC-machined out of high-grade nickel-plated electrolytic copper. The water block terminal is made of CNC-machined black POM acetal. The watertight sealing is ensured by high-quality EPDM O-rings, while brass standoffs are already pre-installed and allow for a safe and easy installation procedure.
D-RGB lighting on EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 D-RGB water block
This water block boasts a total of 14 individually addressable D-RGB LEDs located under the Radeon logo. It is compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers. The arrow marking on the 3-pin D-RGB LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB (addressable) header.
Included Backplate
The included backplate improves the overall aesthetics of your graphics card, and also provides additional passive cooling for the GPU core and backside of the printed circuit board VRM and VRAM section.
