EK Releases Radeon RX Vega Compatible RGB water block for Liquid Cooling
EK releases a Full Cover water RGB block for Radeon Vega graphics cards. Customers will be able to transform their graphics card into a beautiful, bright single slot card while the water cooling block will allow the GPU to reach higher frequencies.
This water block directly cools the GPU, HBM2 memory, and VRM (voltage regulation module) as water flows directly over these critical areas thus allowing the graphics card and it’s VRM to remain stable under high overclocks. EK-FC Radeon Vega water block features a central inlet split-flow cooling engine design for best possible cooling performance, which also works flawlessly with reversed water flow without adversely affecting the cooling performance. This kind of efficient cooling will allow your high-end graphics card to reach higher boost clocks, thus providing more performance during gaming or other GPU intense tasks. Moreover, such design offers great hydraulic performance allowing this product to be used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps.
The base of the block is CNC machined out of nickel-plated electrolytic copper while the top is CNC machined out of high-quality acrylic material. The sealing is ensured by quality rubber O-rings. Screw-in brass standoffs are pre-installed and allow for safe, painless installation procedure. EKWB recommends the purchase of aesthetic retention backplate which improves the looks of your graphics cards and also provides some passive cooling to the VRM circuit board. The EK-FC Radeon Vega water block is compatible with both Nickel and Black versions of the EK-FC Radeon Vega Backplates. The EK-FC Radeon Vega water block is also compatible with the factory backplates of all Radeon Vega based graphics cards (except for the AIO liquid cooled versions). he EK-FC Radeon Vega RGB water block is compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers since it features a classic 4-pin 12V RGB LED strip.
EK-FC Radeon Vega water block is compatible with multiple Radeon Vega graphics cards series (see the Compatibility list):
- Radeon Vega Frontier Edition
- Radeon RX Vega 64
- Radeon RX Vega 56
EK-FC Radeon Vega RGB – Nickel | 129.90€ |
EK-FC Radeon Vega Backplate – Nickel | 37.90€ |
EK-FC Radeon Vega Backplate – Black | 29.90€ |

I wonder why EK bothered.

Besides the handful of gamers owning one, the miners won't bother since it will add precious time at their ROI dreams.
Not to mention the whole hassle and downtime if their mining rigs aren't already custom wc'ed.

These aren't too expensive, compared to what miners would be paying for. If you have access to a swimming pool to act as a reservoir, this could be a cheaper alternative to those who mine during the summer. I'm sure powering all of the GPU fans alone consumes more power than a single pump per rig.

Wait..! So, not only they can increase their earnings just by simply using a water block which will replace ATLEAST 2 or even 3 hungry inefficient and possibly loud/annoying gpu fans per card thus saving on power costs, their mining setups will be cooler too, which in return will require less cooling further decreasing their running costs and increasing their even more!
And to top that off, if they have a swimming pool as ingeniously suggested they can use it as a reservoir/coolant! And since that will be cooling their fortune making machines, they will be bathing in their own fortune in a way! lol
Wow! I hope our resident miners spread those words of truth to the rest!

wth I just wrote..? lol :p
