The Slovenian company EK Water Blocks has introduced the all-metal EK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080/3090 waterblock, intended for use in liquid cooling systems for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series video cards with a reference design.

The novelty received a copper base with a thickness of 11,2 mm. The water block has an optimized channel structure, which reduces hydrodynamic instability.

The solution received a full coverage design. Heat is removed from the graphics chip, memory chips, as well as from the power elements of the power supply subsystem. Thus, all critical components of the graphics card are cooled.

The Open Split-Flow architecture provides high cooling efficiency even at relatively low liquid flow rates. This allows the use of not too powerful pumps or pumps operating at low speed.

The price of the EK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080/3090 waterblock is 210 euros. The solution is compatible with the following graphics accelerators:
