EK ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition AIO Water Cooling Solution
EK Water Blocks is proud to introduce company's second complete all-in-one (CPU and motherboard) liquid cooling solution, this time for ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition, a X79 Express based 4th generation Intel Core i7 LGA-2011 socket motherboard.
EK-FB ASUS R4BE Monoblock water block is a complete all-in-one (CPU and motherboard) liquid cooling solution for Intel LGA-2011 socket Ivy Bridge-E CPU and ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard.
This water block uses award winning EK-Supremacy cooling engine to ensure best possible CPU cooling. The water blocks directly cools Intel LGA-2011 socket type CPU, Intel X79 Express southbridge (PCH) and power regulation (VRM / MOSFETs) module as water flows directly over all critical areas. It is a very high flow water block that can be easily used with systems using weaker water pumps.
"After success with the EK-FB ASUS M6I, our first AIO water block for mITX form factor motherboard, we decided to try this approach on a full ATX size motherboard," said Niko Tivadar, EK-FB ASUS R4BE Monoblock main designer and Product Manager of EKWB. "ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard was an obvious choice. R4BE Monoblock provides sleek design with only two in- and out- water ports which greatly improves the functionality and reliability of the unit by removing the need to connect three separate water blocks with akward 90° elbow fitting adapters."
Base of the water block is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper while the top is made of quality POM Acetal or acrylic glass material (depending on the variant).
Enclosed:
- EK-FB ASUS R4BE Monoblock series water block
- mounting mechanism
- thermal grease Gelid GC-Extreme (1.5g)
- thermal pads

It looks cool, and it should be much easier to use than having several blocks all around. I wonder if the contact between block and CPU will be as good as with a dedicated CPU block. Also, the price is steep, but on the other hand, you're all set regarding mobo cooling.

Yeah, real good, nice neat idea.
Fingers crossed the idea will catch on and before to long a full range of kit will be available.

That is SICK! I wonder though, If you go that far why not just add the ram cooling too? Well, now I got another part to add on to my next pc upgrade.. Cannot wait for my 8core intel haswell E to come out! Just hope they come out right away with the "black" addition boards instead of waiting a year!

Ill be getting one of these, great for routing from cpu to gpu only as AIO does the rest. Then again depends if it beats the 380i.

That's pretty cool. Hilbert small typo on title should read "Rampage IV Black Extreme" you have "Rampage VI Black Extreme".
