EK AM4 monoblock for the ASRock X470 Taichi RGB motherboards

EK AM4 monoblock for the ASRock X470 Taichi RGB motherboards

EK is releasing a new AM4 socket based monoblock for the ASRock X470 Taichi and X470 Taichi Ultimate motherboards. The EK-FB ASRock X470 Taichi RGB Monoblock has an integrated 4-pin RGB LED strip and VRM section cooling.

 The RGB LED in the monoblock is compatible with ASRock Polychrome RGB, thus offering a full lighting customization experience.  

This water block directly cools AMD AM4 socket type CPU, as well as the power regulation (MOSFET) module. Liquid flows directly over all critical areas, providing the enthusiasts with a great solution for high and stable overclocks. Like with every EK monoblock, EK-FB ASRock X470 Taichi RGB  features high flow design and this monoblock can easily be used in the systems utilizing a weaker water pump as well. This AM4 socket based monoblock also comes with a redesigned cold plate which ensures that the monoblock has better mechanical contact with the IHS of AMD AM4 socket based processors, thus enabling better thermal transfer.

The base of the monoblock is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper while the top is made of quality acrylic glass material. The nickel plated brass screw-in standoffs are pre-installed and allow for easy installation. A standard 4-pin 12V RGB LED strip is installed in the monoblock that connects to the motherboard’s 4-pin LED header or it can be connected to any other standard 12V 4-pin LED controller. The LED strip cover can easily be removed for adjusting the cable orientation or replacing the ordinary LED strip with a Digital LED strip or any other custom solution as well! The enclosed Digital RGB LED strip is compatible only with the dedicated 3-pin digital LED motherboard header. ASRock® motherboards feature advanced LED lighting options and with the ASRock® Polychrome RGB, users can individually address color to each LED on the monoblocks integrated Digital LED strip.

Priced 139.90€

Already had a the board and a CPU block for a while now so kinda bummed they release it now, on the other hand VRM cooling on the Taichi is pretty solid so not too much worries.
