EK Offers new RGB monoblocks for Multiple Gigabyte X299 motherboards

EK is releasing their third LGA-2066 socket based monoblock made to fit several Gigabyte X299 motherboards. The EK-FB GA X299 Gaming RGB Monoblock has an integrated 3-pin Digital RGB LED strip which makes it compatible with Gigabyte's Fusion software.

his is a complete all-in-one (CPU and motherboard) liquid cooling solution for five Gigabyte Intel X299 Chipset based motherboards that support new Intel Core X-series LGA-2066 socket processors. This monoblock is compatible with the following GIGABYTE® motherboards:

• GIGABYTE X299 Aorus Gaming 3 (rev.1.0)
• GIGABYTE X299 Aorus Gaming 7 (rev.1.0)
• GIGABYTE X299 Aorus Gaming 9 (rev.1.0)
• GIGABYTE X299 Aorus Ultra Gaming (rev.1.0)
• GIGABYTE X299 UD4 (rev.1.0)

Designed and engineered in cooperation with GIGABYTE®, this monoblock uses award-winning EK-Supremacy EVO cooling engine to ensure best possible CPU cooling. This water block directly cools Intel® LGA-2066 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 GA X299 GAMING RGB features high flow design and this monoblock can be easily used with the system using a weaker water pump as well. This kind of efficient VRM cooling on an X299 platform additionally brings down the CPU temperatures compared to the traditional CPU water block and stock VRM heatsink cooling solution.
 

 
This X299 platform based monoblock also comes with a new redesigned cold plate. The new design ensures that the monoblock has better mechanical contact with the IHS of Intel Core X-series LGA-2066 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.The monoblock is equipped with a Digital RGB LED strip that connects to the 5-pin header via the special LED cable provided with the motherboard. GIGABYTE AORUS X299 series motherboards boast the most advanced LED system in the market today. With the GIGABYTE RGB Fusion App, users can individually address color to each LED on the monoblocks integrated Digital LED strip. The LED strip cover can easily be removed for adjusting the cable orientation or replacing the Digital LED strip with an ordinary LED strip or any other custom solution as well. EK-FB GA X299 GAMING RGB Monoblock is made in Slovenia, and it is available for pre-order through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network.
