EK is releasing a new Quantum Line series EK-Velocity sTR4 water block lineup specifically designed for HEDT AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors. The cooling engine is utilizing a 3rd generation design with the cold plate covering the IHS of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor while the fin structure is covering the entire multi-die CPU layout.
he release of higher core count HEDT processors opened new opportunities and challenges for cooling solutions. The primary goal in designing the new EK-Velocity sTR4 water block was to completely redesign the cooling engine to achieve even better performance than the previous generations. A dense micro-fin structure counts 91 wide grooves to enable superb heat transfer.
Five different versions of the EK-Velocity sTR4 water block are now available:
- EK-Velocity sTR4 D-RGB – Nickel + Plexi
- EK-Velocity sTR4 D-RGB – Nickel + Acetal
- EK-Velocity sTR4 – Nickel + Plexi
- EK-Velocity sTR4 – Nickel + Acetal
- EK-Velocity sTR4 RGB – Full Nickel
Every EK-Velocity sTR4 water block comes with a precisely machined copper base (sometimes referred to as ‘cold plate’) which is made from purest copper available on the market and is treated with nickel electroplating. Unlike some other CPU blocks, the sTR4 comes with a polished cold plate to achieve the best possible heat transfer with the IHS of the AMD® Ryzen Threadripper processor. The top of the water block is made from CNC machined POM Acetal, acrylic glass or nickel-plated brass (depending on the variant). Prices range from 99.90€ to 129.90€
