EKWB Launch its Quantum CPU Water Block for LGA1200

EK Water Blocks (EKWB), has announced that the EK-Quantum Velocity², the successor of the highly popular EK-Quantum Velocity, has now expanded to the Intel LGA 1200 socket. The water block showcases the EK-Matrix7 initiative, a standard where increments of 7 mm manage the height of products and the distance between ports. This product uses a socket-specific cooling engine to ensure the best performance and optimal flow with low restrictions on every platform.

This new water block kept the name “Velocity” because it retained the ability to be responsive and agile in the world of liquid cooling. Embedded in the Velocity² is a next-generation EKWK CPU water block cooling engine that is socket-specific. A combination of mounting pressure and cold plate geometry, tailored for the IHS and die layout of Intel LGA 1200 socket processors, is used to achieve low hydraulic flow restriction and high performance. Thе lathe-turned cold plate is made with precision to cover the IHS effectively and put optimal pressure on the die area.

EKWB Quantum – Now Designed for Intel LGA1200

The EK-Quantum Velocity² was redesigned inside and out. A new, patent-pending EK-Exact Mount mounting system was developed in the search for an easy-to-use but aesthetically pleasing mounting mechanism. It’s made up of only three pieces – the backplate, mounting screws, and the water block itself. It’s screwed in from the back, allowing for a seamless and clean front aesthetic without any screws disrupting the harmony of shape. The system uses pre-tenzioned springs concealed in the water block top, so with just a few turns of the thumb-nuts, the installation is finished, and you get the exact mounting pressure needed.

The LGA 1200 version made for Comet Lake and Rocket Lake CPUs comes in 5 variants:

  • Nickel + Plexi
  • Nickel + Acetal
  • Full Nickel
  • Nickel + Satin Titanium
  • Copper + Acetal

These variations are based on aesthetics and have almost no impact on performance. The cold plate is manufactured out of the highest-grade 99.99% pure electrolytic copper, machined with precision for the best possible contact and heat transfer which is further nickel-plated, except with the Copper + Acetal version which uses a bare copper cold plate.

EK-Matrix7

The EK-Quantum Velocity² is an EK-Matrix7 certified product. The EK-Matrix7 is a convenient product raster that adds a new dimension to PC liquid cooling, where increments of 7 mm manage the height of products and the distance between ports. This improves product alignment and reduces the time spent planning the loop and bending tubes. Through the meticulous planning of our products, building a liquid-cooled PC becomes easy and fun, just like toy bricks.

Compatibility

New EK-Quantum Velocity² series CPU water blocks are socket-specific, compatible only with Intel LGA 1200 socket and Comet Lake and Alder Lake CPUs.

Price & Availability

The EK-Quantum Velocity² series water blocks are available for pre-order through the EKWB Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. Nickel + Plexi, Nickel + Acetal, and Copper Acetal models are expected to start shipping in late-February 2022, with the other models following in early March 2022. -For more information, you can check out the official product website links below:
