Product Showcase EK-Quantum Magnitude

Most companies that are associated with gamers tend to update their products after a certain period of time because this is both a requirement of the public and a well-established rule of good tone. In the case of EKWB, a change in design philosophy began with Quantum products.

EK-Velocity was one of the first to replace the visually obsolete Supremacy EVO. The internal waterblock was almost the same as its predecessor, except for deeper micro channels and a partially reorganised inlet for a more uniform flow distribution between the micro channels. Fortunately, EKWB considered this upgrade insufficient and decided to release a brand new waterblock - the EK-Quantum Magnitude.

The primary focus was on premiumity (we know not a real word, but is sounds cool) of the product. In addition to the impressive features that we will talk about further, the waterblock has a unique industrial design. Unlike the standard mounting plate that was previously available, the EK-Quantum Magnitude design emphasizes the integrated X- or H-shaped three-dimensional aluminum frame. Screw depths allow for seamless aesthetics.

At the heart of the EK-Quantum Magnitude is a solid brass core, which has improved and optimized cooling.

Compared to previous generations of waterblocks (Magnitude - Velocity - Supremacy EVO), the new rib mass has a 50% larger surface area without changing its overall dimensions.

Copper (nickel plated) cold plate uses 0.40 mm wide micro-channels and 0.26 mm thick fins to maximize heat transfer with minimal obstructions to the flow. The maximum fin height of the micro-channel is now 2.9mm instead of 2.45mm at Velocity, which will undoubtedly play a positive role in copper-water heat transfer. The bottom thickness of all waterblocks was 0.55m. The picture also clearly shows an additional deepening in the microchannels. This is where CCD and IOD are located.
