Product Info
EK-Quantum Velocity² D-RGB Water Block - AM5 Nickel + Acetal Edition
For AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series CPUs
This AM5 socket-specific EK-Quantum Velocity² Water Block is engineered specifically for the AMD® AM5 Socket & Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs. It is built upon an award-winning, market-recognized platform that has received the IF Design award, European Hardware Award, CES Innovation Award, and several other Performance Review Awards as well.
With a revolutionary Clean Front design, with no visible mounting screws, Velocity² Water Blocks are enroute to outshining their predecessor and taking over the market lead. This CPU Water Block is EK-Matrix7 compliant, and is mounted via the patented EK Exact Mount System by the included Hardware.
This EK-Quantum Velocity² D-RGB - AM5 Nickel + Acetal Edition Water Block has a high-performance premium quality design specifically made for the AMD AM5 socket platform. It features a next gen cooling engine that is socket specific, tailored to the IHS and die layout of Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs.
Features
Socket Specific Cooling Engine
Embedded in the Velocity² is a socket-specific low hydraulic flow restriction and high-performance cooling engine, which is achieved by a combination of mounting pressure and cold plate geometry tailored for the IHS and die layout of the AMD AM5 socket. The lathe-turned cold plate is made with precision to cover the IHS effectively and put optimal pressure on the die area.
Flow is also being directed into areas that need it most with the help of an asymmetric jet plate cutout. The Velocity² series water blocks cover the entirety of the socket while conforming to socket guidelines about mounting pressure and socket keep-out zones.
EK-ExactMount
Because of the integrated, sturdy stock backplate arriving with AM5 motherboards, the patented EK-ExactMount mounting system was re-engineered for an even simpler installation process. The end result is an even easier-to-use and “invisible” mounting mechanism since the entire mounting system is inside the water block, and now it is a true single-piece product.
The backplate mounts on the motherboard, and the spring-loaded Torx screws are integrated into the water block and are screwed by counter-clockwise rotation into the stock backplate of the motherboard.
The integrated mounting screws are engineered with a hard-stop design, so once screws reach the end of the thread, the block is perfectly mounted and tensioned. This removes the risks of over-torquing the water block and potentially damaging your motherboard and/or CPU.
Water Block Material and Manufacturing
The coldplate is made from the highest-grade 99.99% pure Electrolytic Copper, machined with precision for the best possible contact and heat transfer which is further nickel-plated. This version of the water block features a nickel-plated cold plate with a CNC machined cast Acrylic top piece.
EK-Matrix7 Compliant
The EK-Quantum Velocity² is rated EK-Matrix7 Compatible
The EK-Matrix7 is 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 Velocity² D-RGB LED Lighting
This product is compatible with all popular addressable 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 header. A total of 17 addressable RGB LEDs are hidden under the stick-out piece, which acts as a diffuser.
Winning Prestigious Awards at Great Velocity
We shouldn’t forget to mention that our Velocity² products have taken home five prestigious awards so far. Their performance, innovative design, and bold approach to creating water-cooling solutions ensured this product line gets the recognition it deserves. The awards given to Velocity² products include iF Design, European Hardware Awards, CES 22, and others.
Important Installation Notes From EKWB:
- This product should NOT be installed with any Aluminum liquid cooling parts!
- The use of specifically engineered coolants that contain corrosion, scale, and biological inhibitors is mandatory to prevent damage to your nickel-plated water block! EKWB offers a selection of compatible coolants
- The arrow marking on the 3-pin LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB (A-RGB) header
- A Torx T7 screw bit is a mandatory tool to install the water block, and is included
- The mounting screws are engineered with a hard-stop design, once the screw reaches the end of the thread, stop applying more force
Compatibility
AMD Socket AM5 Compatible
This CPU liquid cooling unit is pre-assembled for use with modern AMD Desktop AM5 Socket Motherboards. By design, this water block only supports the AMD AM5 CPU Socket.
