What customers say
Customer satisfaction centers on the exceptional aesthetic appeal of the EK Velocity RGB, particularly the unique UV printed plexi top. This component is highly valued as a visual centerpiece for custom water-cooled builds, offering personalization standard blocks lack. Users praise the vibrant RGB integration and seamless software synchronization, which significantly enhances the overall look. While the core maintains EK's standard for excellent thermal performance, effectively cooling high-end CPUs, the primary focus remains on design. Build quality is consistently rated highly. The main point of tension involves value, as the premium price reflects the custom visual flair, positioning this product for dedicated enthusiasts prioritizing unparalleled aesthetics.
Know before you buy
This product is a custom replacement top designed specifically for existing EK-Velocity CPU water blocks. It is intended to upgrade the aesthetics of your current unit rather than serve as a complete cooling block.
Yes, this top is compatible with both standard RGB and D-RGB versions of the EK-Velocity series. Please ensure your current block is an EK-Velocity model before purchasing.
The connection depends on your specific version. The standard RGB model uses a classic 4-pin 12V header, while the D-RGB version requires a 3-pin 5V digital addressable header.
No, the UV-printed design is purely aesthetic and does not interfere with the 5th generation cooling engine. The block maintains its low hydraulic restriction and efficient thermal transfer capabilities.
To protect the nickel-plated copper cold plate and the acrylic top, you must use a coolant that contains both anticorrosives and biocides. Avoid using pure distilled water, as it does not provide the necessary protection against corrosion and biological growth.
The installation is straightforward, but it does require disassembling your current water block. We recommend having a clean workspace and following the EK-Velocity manual closely to ensure the O-ring seals are seated correctly to prevent leaks.
