Details
This product is also compatible with ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6X OG Edition and ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX™ 4090 24GB GDDR6X OG OC Edition. Non-OG versions fit the regular Strix/TUF RTX 4090 water blocks.
High-Performance GPU Cooling
The packaging now contains a high-performance GPU water block of the latest generation and a premium quality backplate. A black full coverage backplate is included with every Vector² water block, and its distinctive L shape profile encloses the entire GPU while increasing the cooling surface area at the same time. The backplate also comes with pre-Installed, captive backplate screws that simplify the installation ensuring the correct length is always used where it is needed.
Technical and Visual Master Piece
The new look of the next-gen water blocks is dominated by minimalistic straight lines. A 10mm thick copper cold plate is used for all Vector² GPU water blocks. D-RGB Lighting is now deployed on the longest edge of the water block for improved fidelity and brightness from every viewing angle. The LED PCB is concealed inside a clean aluminum extrusion.
EK-Matrix7 Support
Matrix7 standardizes the dimensions of the products, including the port position and spacing, making liquid cooling loop assembly more intuitive and easier. EK-Quantum Vector² GPU cooling enclosures follow the EK-Matrix7 standard, making them seamlessly integrate with EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plates. This brings compatibility with the EK vertical GPU mount l perfect alignment of ports in both horizontal and vertical positions, meaning less time used for planning of the loop, bending tubes, and the end result will still be an epic build.
Included
It includes an EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 3090 Ti D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi water block, EK-Quantum Vector² Strix RTX 3090 Ti Backplate - Black, the mounting gear, and necessary TIM.
EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 3090 Ti D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi
The EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 3090 Ti D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi GPU water block and backplate are compatible with ROG Strix and ASUS TUF RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards. The Vector water block actively cools the GPU, VRAM (on the front), power stages, and chokes in the VRM (voltage regulation module), and passively the PCB hotspots that are found on the backside of the GPU core, and the VRM (voltage regulation module).
For a precise compatibility match of this water block, we recommend you refer to the EK Cooling Configurator.
The implemented 3rd-generation Vector cooling engine uses a novel 3D machined acrylic insert to improve flow distribution and thermal performance. This new cooling engine is based on an Open Split-Flow design, but the asymmetric shape of the jet insert helps distribute an even flow between the first and last copper fins. The fin structure geometry has been optimized to provide even flow distribution with minimal losses and optimal performances even when used in reversed water flow scenarios. It is also 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.
Great care was taken to achieve a symmetrical flow domain by utilizing an internal bridge to secondary components. This was done to ensure the cooling of secondary components without sacrificing flow distribution over the GPU core.
All Vector² GPU water blocks use a thick 10mm copper coldplate with an acetal terminal attached directly to it to create a robust assembly. A single o-ring design is used to create a seal between the cold plate and the water block top, reducing the number of failure points. This also means that you have seen the end of stainless steel bridge plates that were utilized on GPU water blocks before. This simple construction provides confidence during customization and maintenance. Tactile magnetic covers are used to conceal the terminal screws, which allows rotating the branding when the GPU is inverted in the case.
The cold plate is CNC-machined out of high-quality, pure electrolytic copper which is then nickel-plated, while its top is CNC-machined out of glass-like cast acrylic. The black anodized backplate has a new L-shaped profile that touches the base of the water block and encloses the entire GPU while increasing the cooling surface leading to even better performance.
Captive backplate screws simplify installation, ensuring the correct length is always used where it is needed to avoid any user error or second-guessing.
The backplate improves the overall aesthetics of your graphics cards and also provides additional passive cooling for the GPU core, and backside of the printed circuit board VRM and VRAM sections.
Rotatable Magnetic Covers
Sleek magnetic covers are used to conceal the terminal screws, which allows rotating the branding when the GPU water block and active backplate enclosure is inverted in the case, or being used on a vertical GPU mount.
Addressable D-RGB Compatibility
Addressable D-RGB LED lighting is deployed on the longest edge of the water block for improved uniformity and brightness. The PCB and diodes are concealed inside a clean aluminum extrusion. The individually addressable RGB LED 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 (Pinout: +5V | Data | Blocked | Ground).
