ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI dedicated mono water block from EKWB
EK announced the release of its latest water block, the EK-Quantum Momentum² ROG Strix X670E-I Gaming D-RGB – Plexi, exclusively designed for the ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI motherboard.
The water block is compatible not only with the Ryzen 7000 series CPU. Still, it can also cool the motherboard power circuit, thanks to its nickel-plated electrolytic copper base plate and high-quality acrylic material top panel. It features the latest generation EK-Quantum Velocity² cooling engine, which helps keep the CPU cool without reducing flow to other components.
The product also comes with a thermal pad that can be attached to the motherboard's standard heat sink, eliminating the need to remove it. According to EKWB tests, the power supply circuit's temperature can be lowered by more than 20℃, enabling stable operation even under high loads.
The water block includes 18 addressable RGB LEDs, a standard 5V/3pin connector, and a 500mm cable length. Its dimensions are 23.3mm in width, 89mm in length, and 121.5mm in height, with a product warranty of two years. With its high-quality cooling capabilities and sleek design, the EK-Quantum Momentum² ROG Strix X670E-I Gaming D-RGB – Plexi is an excellent choice for computer enthusiasts looking for a new water block for their ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI motherboard.

OP newspost somehow reads like this:
"EK announced the release of its latest water block, the EK-Quantum Momentum² ROG Strix X670E-I Gaming D-RGB – Plexi, exclusively designed for the ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI motherboard."
Sure the mainboard area is the same for the two boards (A, E, F being ATX, I being mini-ATX formats), but I did check to make sure... couldn't they just say "block's good for all the X670E Gaming mainboards"? Adding the specific number / letter for no reason does make things a little confusing imho.
Comes with 18 (!) addressable RGB LEDs, but does not touch the power phases directly (mosfets - stock thermal pad - stock heatsink - aftermarket thermal pad - aftermarket heatsink
), and does not cool the M2 slot, although it seems to at least partially reach over it. Honestly, kind of disappointing in that regard.
I wanted to go with something like this but very subjectively, I'm a little disappointed with what this thing does compared to my old R5E monoblock, which cools chipset, cpu, power delivery all directly, and still was cheaper than this.
Cost about 200€ in their own webshop, for anybody interested.
you nailed it. w/o vrm/mosfet cooling wtf is the point other than cosmetic?
