EKWB EK-Quantum Vector 2 TUF RX 7900 XTX GPU Water Block, D-RGB, Nickel + Plexi

High-Performance GPU Cooling

The new Vector 2 water blocks effortlessly solve the issue of excessive heat generation during high load on the GPU. These water blocks for the ASUS TUF Radeon RX 7900 XT & XTX GPUs cool the graphics compute die, voltage regulation module, voltage controllers, VRAM, and the MCDs.

What differs from all other Vector 2 water blocks is that the cooling engine has been rotated by 90 degrees, so the fins are perpendicular to the die. For optimal delta, the coolant flows over the graphics core die first, and the memory cache die after. Consequently, all MCDs get the same temperature coolant.

Backplate Included

The package now contains the following:

• A high-performance GPU water block of the latest generation
• Premium quality CNC-machined backplate
• Mounting mechanism
• Thermal paste
• Thermal pads
• GPU and PCI power cable release tool

A black, full-coverage backplate is included with the GPU water block. Its distinctive L-shaped profile encloses the entire GPU while, at the same time, increasing the cooling surface area. The backplate also comes with pre-installed captive backplate screws that simplify the installation. They ensure that the correct size screw is always used where needed.

Technical and Visual Master Piece

The look of the next-gen water blocks is dominated by minimalistic straight lines. A 10mm thick copper cold plate is used for all Vector 2 GPU water blocks. For Plexi versions, 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.

The EK-Quantum Vector 2 TUF RX 7900 XTX D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi GPU water block + backplate set is compatible with:

• ASUS TUF Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPUs
• ASUS TUF Radeon RX 7900 XT GPUs

New Cooling Engine - For Best Cooling In Every Scenario

The Vector water block actively cools the GCD, VRAM, power stages, inductors, voltage controllers, and MCDs. Passively, through the backplate, the PCB hotspots on the backside of the GPU core, VRAM, and the VRM (voltage regulation module).

The implemented Vector 2 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.

Premium Materials and Clever Engineering for Longevity and Top Performance

All Vector 2 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 rotation of 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.

Included Backplate

For the first time, captive backplate screws are added to the backplate. They 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 backside of the printed circuit board VRM, core, and VRAM sections.

Rotatable Magnetic Covers

Sleek magnetic covers are used to conceal the terminal screws, which allows rotation of the branding when the GPU water block enclosures are 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).
