EK Launches their Next-Gen Velocity CPU water blocks
EK Water Blocks is proud to introduce the new generation of high-performance water blocks for popular AMD and Intel CPU sockets, the EK-Velocity. The new CPU water block will be available in a total of 14 versions featuring intricate RGB lit models, and down to simple minimalistic bare copper cold plate versions as well.
The inspiration for the new CPU block name “Velocity” was inspired by the necessity to be lean and agile in the world of liquid cooling. A high-performance CPU water block is no good if it is too restrictive on the flow and it is bottlenecking your entire cooling loop. Efficient coolant flow and performance should go hand in hand, and neither of the two should be sacrificed for one another.
EK-Velocity the new high-performance flagship premium quality CPU water block featuring the 5th iteration of the award-winning EK® cooling engine which is further tweaked to perfection. Built upon a decade of experience in liquid cooling, EK® Velocity series CPU water blocks are a product of countless hours of simulations, research and marketing-leading engineering.
The water block was updated on the inside as much it was redesigned on the outside as well. The changes led to a design that is simple, yet still striking and eye-catching. A new reinforced mounting bracket is introduced with smaller streamlined mounting screws. RGB versions of the block are equipped with 24 LEDs that are evenly surrounding the water block housing to create the most sophisticated lightning effect that has been seen on water blocks so far. The simplified cooling engine brings performance optimizations through more efficient flow and also easier maintenance for users.
Modern design with wide-array of options specific to your demands. Manufactured out of purest copper available, that is further nickel plated or machined with precision for best possible contact and heat transfer. Detail piece with the notch is stylish and diffuses the light from LEDs if you choose the RGB version. The angular top piece comes in a variety of materials, from black POM Acetal, glass like Acrylic to full Nickel, all made to simultaneously dazzle and perform.
All new EK Velocity series CPU water blocks are compatible with all popular CPU sockets on the market. They feature a universal mounting mechanism that offers error-preventing, tool-less installation supporting Intel 115x and Intel 20xx Sockets or AMD AM4 sockets respective to the CPU block model.
Supported Intel Sockets are:
- LGA 1155
- LGA 1156
- LGA 1150
- LGA 1151

On Intel CPU EK Supermacy blocks perfom pretty much within 1-5°C from Heatkiller IV Pro, Aquacomputer Kryos NEXT, XSPC or Koolance etc which I cannot say about their AMD TR4 "ThreadRipper" blocks which are just poor blocks
I switched from EK Supermacy EVO to Aquacomputer Kryos on my build and gained around 5-6°C on PKG on my 5960x
Hope this helps
Thanks, Jura

Do you have a source for this? 14 degree difference in CPU block seems like an abnormally high number.

14 degrees behind because of the waterblock design alone? If I can read the source and verify it I will disassemble my water loop and rush to Microcenter today.....that's CPU abuse

Surely hope so they will be better because their current CPU waterblocks are worse than Enermax AIO and are as much as 14 degrees behind competition like
