Know before you buy
This block is specifically engineered for NVIDIA RTX 2070 and 2080 cards using the reference PCB design. We strongly recommend checking the EK Cooling Configurator on their website to verify your specific card's model number before purchasing.
Yes, it is a full-cover block that directly cools the GPU core, the VRAM modules, and the VRM (voltage regulation modules). This ensures that all critical heat-generating components are managed for better stability and overclocking potential.
The block uses a standard 3-pin 5V D-RGB header. It is compatible with all major motherboard RGB sync technologies, including ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and ASRock Polychrome.
Not significantly. The Open Split-Flow cooling engine is specifically designed to offer low hydraulic flow restriction, making it an excellent choice for systems even with less powerful pumps.
To maintain the nickel plating, avoid using aggressive or acidic cleaning agents. Use only distilled water or dedicated, non-conductive coolants, and ensure your loop is free of aluminum components to prevent galvanic corrosion.
No, the block uses standard G1/4 threaded ports, which allows you to choose the fittings that best match your tubing size and aesthetic preferences. You will need to purchase these separately.
