EKWB EK-Quantum Velocity 3 CPU Water Block and Thermal Grizzly 1851 Contact Frame Bundle, Acetal

This bundle includes the EK-Quantum Velocity 3 CPU Water Block and Thermal Grizzly Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1.

The EK-Quantum Velocity 3 is a high-performance CPU water block designed for AMD AM5 and Intel LGA 1700/1851 platforms. Built on EK's legacy of award-winning cooling solutions, the Velocity 3 combines cutting-edge technology, superior materials, and exceptional aesthetics to deliver unmatched cooling performance for PC enthusiasts and modders.

Advanced Cooling Engine

The Velocity 3 features a next-generation cooling engine tailored to AMD and Intel platforms. Its optimized internal geometry and precise mounting pressure ensure maximum heat transfer efficiency. Compared to its predecessor, the Velocity 2, the Velocity 3 achieves up to 2 degrees C improvement in thermal performance, offering top-tier cooling for demanding workloads.

Modding-Friendly and Customizable

The Velocity 3 water block is designed with versatility in mind, featuring a modular construction that allows for internal component rotation. This enables users to adjust the heat spreader alignment and port positions for an optimal setup in their custom loop. Additionally, new mounting brackets have been engineered for effortless clipping on and off. Both AMD and Intel mounting brackets are included in the box, allowing seamless transitions between platforms without the need for additional accessories. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide variety of systems while enabling easy loop optimization.

Premium Materials and Design

The Acetal version of the Velocity 3 features a nickel-plated copper cold plate, ensuring superior thermal conductivity and durability. The top is CNC-machined from black POM Acetal, providing a stealthy, professional look while maintaining exceptional structural integrity. This solid and refined design is perfect for users who prefer a clean, understated aesthetic in their builds.

Key Features:

• Socket-Specific Cooling: Engineered for AMD AM5 and Intel LGA 1700/1851 sockets.
• Thermal Efficiency: Delivers up to 2 degrees C lower temperatures compared to the Velocity² series.
• Customizable Setup: Rotate internal components for optimized heat spreader alignment and port positioning.
• Premium Build Quality: Nickel-plated copper cold plate with a durable black Acetal top.
• Minimalist Aesthetic: A sleek, all-black design ideal for stealth builds and workstation environments.

Designed for Modders and Enthusiasts

The Velocity 3 Acetal is built for users who demand both top-tier performance and a refined, professional aesthetic. With its minimalist black design and customizable internal configuration, this water block seamlessly integrates into any high-performance system, ensuring optimal cooling efficiency and reliability.
Whether you're fine-tuning a high-end gaming rig, maximizing cooling for overclocking, or building a powerful workstation, the EK-Quantum Velocity 3 Acetal is the ideal cooling solution for your next build.

 CPU Water Block Technical specifications:

• D-RGB cable length: 500mm
• D-RGB connector: 3-pin 5V digital LED header (Pinout: +5V | Digital | Blocked | Ground)
• Dimensions: 69 x 69 x 25,1mm

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.

• Reduction of CPU temperatures
• Easy to install
• Anodized aluminum

Installing the contact frame is very simple and requires only a few steps. First, the motherboard's Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) must be removed. Depending on the CPU cooler and the CPU used, processor temperatures can be noticeably reduced. When switching from the Reduced-Load ILM (RL-ILM) used on some LGA1851 motherboards, temperature reductions of up to 4°C can be expected, and up to 6°C when switching from the standard ILM.

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!
