Product Showcase - EK-Quantum Magnitude

Product Showcase

The surface of the waterblock has barely visible traces of the cutter, while the surface is tactilely free of flaws.

As I said a little earlier, Magnitude's inlet water flow, unlike other water blocks, has an offset that is centered relative to the position of one or two CCDs, which is perfectly visible in the following picture:

According to the manufacturer, the standard cold plate has a radius of curvature of 3,000, which allows it to adhere to the IHS exactly where heat sources are concentrated. I do not recommend grinding the water block, its performance will deteriorate.

EK-Quantum Velocity also had a slight bulge:

Depending on the convexity of the IHS processor and the crystal area, a special Jet-Plate must be used, which has a significant effect on processor temperatures.

The number indicates the thickness of the Jet-Plate, the letter C specializing in small heat sources. The letter P indicates that it is recommended by the Jet-Plate manufacturer. With Jet-Plate 0.5P having a slightly curved shape, this is done so that the Jet-Plate will not move anywhere during the 4-roll assembly. Another important detail is the roughness of the Jet Plate, which creates additional water turbulence in the microchannels and allows more heat to be removed. Be careful, always check your water block for the correct Jet Plate installation.
