What customers say
Professional users highly value the EK-Pro A100 water block for its exceptional performance and robust build quality, essential for mission-critical AI and HPC deployments. Customers consistently report significant temperature reductions on both the core and HBM memory stacks compared to air cooling. This superior thermal management directly enables higher sustained boost clocks and greater computational throughput. The precision engineering ensures a flawless fit on the complex A100 PCB, which is vital for maintaining system integrity. Reviewers confirm the durable nickel-plated copper and stainless steel construction resists corrosion in demanding 24/7 data center operations. While the investment is substantial, users consider it justified for maximizing the density and reliability of their high-end GPU infrastructure. This block is viewed as the standard for professional liquid cooling.
Know before you buy
No, this specific model is engineered exclusively for the NVIDIA A100 40 GB Rack GPU variant. It will not fit other versions of the A100 or consumer-grade GeForce cards.
This is a full-cover water block, meaning it provides direct cooling to the GPU core, the VRAM modules, and the VRM (voltage regulation module) to ensure comprehensive thermal management.
While technically possible, this block is specifically designed for rack-mount environments. It features rear-facing G1/4" terminals and replaces the stock I/O shield, which may complicate installation in standard desktop chassis.
The Open Split-Flow engine is designed to minimize flow restriction. This makes the block highly efficient and compatible with a wide range of pump configurations, even those with lower pressure ratings.
The base is crafted from nickel-plated electrolytic copper for optimal heat transfer, while the top is made from laser-cut stainless steel for maximum durability in industrial rack settings.
No, fittings are not included. You will need to purchase standard G1/4" threaded fittings separately to integrate the block into your liquid cooling loop.
