EKWB EK-Quantum Velocity 2 CPU Water Block D-RGB - 1700/1851 and Thermal Grizzly 1851 Contact Frame Bundle, Nickel/Plexi

This bundle includes the EK-Quantum Velocity 2 D-RGB - 1700/1851 CPU Water Block and the Thermal Grizzly 1851 CPU Contact Frame.

EK-Quantum Velocity 2 D-RGB - 1700 is the new high-performance premium quality CPU water block for the new Intel socket LGA 1700-based platform. It features a next-generation cooling engine that is socket-specific. This CPU water block is EK-Matrix7 compliant and is mounted via a patent-pending EK Exact Mount system.

OptiFlow Cooling Engine

EK-Quantum Velocity 2 series CPU water blocks embed the next generation cooling engine named OptiFlow. They use a specific combination of mounting pressure and coldplate geometry tailored for the IHS and die layout of Intel LGA 1700 socket processors. Low hydraulic flow restriction enables these products to be used in setups using weaker water pumps or lower pump speeds for added silent operation, while still achieving top performance! Th? lathe-turned coldplate is made with precision to effectively cover the IHS and put pressure on the die area.

The Velocity 2 series water blocks cover the entirety of the socket while conforming to Intel guidelines about safe zones.

EK-Matrix7

The EK-Quantum Velocity 2 is an EK-Matrix7 compatible product. The EK-Matrix7, a product raster that is bound to set a new standard. EK is adding a new dimension to PC liquid cooling, where the height of products and the distance between ports are managed by increments of 7mm. This improves product alignment and reduces the time spent planning the loop and bending tubes. Through the meticulous planning of our products, building a liquid-cooled PC becomes easy and fun, just like toy bricks.

EK-Quantum Velocity 2 Patent-pending Mounting

EK-Exact Mount is a patent-pending mounting system designed and engineered by EK in the search for an easy-to-use, but aesthetically pleasing mounting mechanism. It's made up of only three pieces - backplate, mounting screws, and the water block itself. It's screwed in from the back allowing for a seamless and clean front aesthetic without any screws disrupting the harmony of shape. The system uses pre-tensioned springs concealed in the water block top, so with just a few turns of the thumb-nuts, the installation is finished, and you get the exact mounting pressure needed.

The Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 is the version of the well-known mounting aid tailored to Intel motherboards with the LGA1851 socket. By using the Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1, the concave bending of the CPU’s Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) caused by the standard Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) is avoided. This results in better contact between the CPU cooler and the IHS, improving cooling performance.

The Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 is compatible with Intel Core Ultra 200 Series processors for the LGA1851 socket. Additionally, the frame is compatible with CPUs whose Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) has been sanded down by no more than 0.2 millimeters. Care must be taken during installation to ensure no electronic components are located under the frame, especially with Mini-ITX form factor motherboards.

Removing the Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) from the motherboard may void the manufacturer's warranty for the motherboard!
