EK Releasing GeForce RTX 2000 Series Water Blocks

EK Releasing GeForce RTX 2000 Series Water Blocks

EK is introducing its new generation of high-performance water blocks for the newly announced NVIDIA GeForce RTX series graphics cards, based on Turing TU104 and Turing TU102 graphics processor. The inspiration for the new GPU block name "Vector" came from the sheer computing power of the graphics cards that are on the market today. 

Naming a water block "Full Cover" isn't enough these days, when the product is packed with unique features, such as these. The EK Vector RTX water block is specially designed for multiple NVIDIA GeForce RTX Turing based reference design graphics cards. The water block itself uses the signature EK single slot slim look, and it covers the entire PCB length. This sophisticated cooling solution will transform your beefy graphics card into a minimalist, elegant piece of a hardware. The block also features a unique aesthetic cover over the block Terminal which is designed to reveal the graphics card model, visible from the side.

The water block comes in eight different variations and each of them directly cools the GPU, VRAM and the VRM (voltage regulation module) as cooling liquid is channeled directly over these critical areas. This allows the graphics card to remain stable at high overclocks, intensive workloads and also enables it to run at its maximum Boost Clock. Ultimately, you can enjoy gaming at the highest possible performance of your graphics card, stutter-free in a low noise environment.
 
 
Name MSRP (incl. VAT)
EK-Vector RTX 2080 Ti – Copper + Plexi 129.90€
EK-Vector RTX 2080 Ti – Copper + Acetal 129.90€
EK-Vector RTX 2080 Ti RGB – Nickel + Plexi 149.90€
EK-Vector RTX 2080 Ti RGB – Nickel + Acetal 144.90€
EK-Vector RTX 2080 – Copper + Plexi 129.90€
EK-Vector RTX 2080 – Copper + Acetal 129.90€
EK-Vector RTX 2080 RGB – Nickel + Plexi 149.90€
EK-Vector RTX 2080 RGB – Nickel + Acetal 144.90€
EK-Vector RTX Backplate – Black 36.90€
EK-Vector RTX Backplate – Nickel 43.90€
 


The eight variations include combinations of materials like bare electrolytic copper, nickel plated electrolytic copper, black POM Acetal, Acrylics with some of them having added standard 12V LED strips. Performance-wise all variants of the block are the same, the only difference being the overall aesthetics of them. The newly developed water blocks feature a redesigned cooling engine that has a larger footprint compared to the previous generation of full cover water blocks. This results in a larger surface area for heat transfer which allows the increase of thermal performance of these water blocks. The EK Vector Series water blocks use an Open Split-Flow cooling engine design which proved to be a superior solution for GPU water blocks. It is characterized by low hydraulic flow restrictions, meaning it can be used with weaker water pumps, or pumps running on low-speed settings and still achieve top performance. The jet plate and fin structure geometry have been optimized to provide even flow distribution with minimal losses and optimal performances even when used in reversed water flow scenarios.

With the help of countless flow simulations, the coolant path has been revised over several iterations to ensure each surface and feature is optimally placed. Consequently, we were able to achieve excellent flow distribution with a design that embodies high thermal performance and the precise simplicity of the latest generation of full cover EK GPU water blocks.

Compatibility
All EK Vector RTX 2080 water blocks are compatible with reference design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 graphics cards based on Turing TU104 graphics processors. This includes graphics cards from vendors that have a custom cooler over a reference design PCB. All EK Vector RTX 2080 Ti water blocks are compatible with reference design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards based on Turing TU102 graphics processors. This includes graphics cards from vendors that have a custom cooler over a reference design PCB.

RGB LED Standards Support
One of the key features of the EK Vector RTX 2080 RGB water blocks is their simplicity as they use a standard 4-pin 12V RGB LED strip. Meaning, they can be used with any standard 4-pin 12V RGB controller with or any of the popular RGB sync technologies from major motherboard manufacturers.

Availability and Pricing
The Vector RTX 2080 series water blocks are made in Slovenia, Europe and are available for pre-order through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. All pre-orders will start shipping on the 20th of September, 2018! Pre-orders for the EK-Vector RTX Backplate - Nickel are expected to start shipping on the 5th of October, 2018! In the table below you can see the manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) with VAT included.

heh, coincidentally I was checking their site just yesterday, nothing there by then. I'd probably go with one of their blocks again if I upgrade to Turing.

Functional work of art. While I like AIO solutions over full custom loops, I love how those blocks look.

Come on, the card can do ray tracing, you should at least pair addressable RGB strips with it! :eek:
