Know before you buy
No, the EK-Quantum Velocity² AM5 is engineered exclusively for the AMD AM5 socket and Ryzen 7000-series processors. Its cooling engine and mounting geometry are specifically tailored to the IHS and die layout of this platform.
EK-Matrix7 compliance means the product follows a standardized 7mm increment system for port spacing and height. This makes planning your custom loop easier, as components will align more predictably with other Matrix7-compatible parts.
The clean-front design hides the mounting screws behind the block, resulting in a minimalist aesthetic. Despite this, the installation remains straightforward thanks to the patented EK Exact Mount system, which secures the block from the back of the motherboard.
We recommend using a high-quality, non-conductive coolant compatible with nickel-plated copper. Avoid using aggressive additives or aluminum-based components in the same loop to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Yes, the block features integrated D-RGB lighting that is compatible with all major motherboard synchronization software. You can connect it to a standard 5V 3-pin D-RGB header to match the lighting with the rest of your system.
The block is designed with low hydraulic flow restriction, meaning it will not significantly impede the flow of your pump. It is well-suited for both high-flow loops and setups using smaller pumps.
