Know before you buy
This water block is specifically engineered for Intel LGA 7529 processors. It is designed to meet the thermal demands of high-density server and workstation environments using this socket.
Yes, the package includes a Torx T30 key, a 5mm Allen key, and an EK-Loop Multi Allen Key. You will have all the specific tools required to mount the block securely to your motherboard.
You must use a coolant that contains corrosion, scale, and biological inhibitors. Using the wrong coolant can lead to accelerated degradation of the nickel plating and potential blockages within the cooling loop.
The three-port design provides additional flexibility for routing your liquid cooling loop, which is often necessary in the cramped, high-density configurations found in server racks or specialized workstations.
The CNC-machined POM Acetal top is chosen for its exceptional durability and resistance to stress cracking. It provides a robust, industrial-grade housing that ensures long-term reliability in demanding 24/7 computing environments.
No, a 1g tube of thermal grease is included in the box. This is sufficient for the initial installation of the water block onto your CPU.
