EK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080/3090 Active Backplate D-RGB
The EK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080/3090 Active Backplate is designed to complement existing EK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080/3090 water blocks, actively cooling the backside of reference design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 and 3090 GPUs. It integrates seamlessly with the water block via a new terminal, requiring only one inlet and outlet for a cleaner build. This active backplate directly cools critical PCB hotspots and VRAM on the rear of the GPU, utilizing a fin array with low flow restriction for efficient heat transfer and optimal cooling performance. The construction features a CNC-machined nickel-plated copper base and aluminum for the backplate, with a glass-like cast acrylic top.
