EKWB Quantum Momentum² Monoblock for ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme Motherboards

This is a complete, all-in-one (CPU and motherboard) liquid cooling solution for Intel 12th gen Core series processors and is compatible with the LGA 1700 socketed ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme motherboard. This monoblock uses the latest generation of EK Velocity² cooling engine to ensure the best possible CPU cooling without reducing the flow to other components. This water block directly cools the Alder Lake CPU and the VRM section. An additional I/O piece that carries the stock I/O LED cover is added, so the user does not lose the benefit of additional lighting and aesthetic of this Republic of Gamers motherboard.

Liquid flows directly over all critical areas, providing the enthusiasts with a great cooling solution for high and stable overclocks. Like all other EKWB monoblocks, the EK-Quantum Momentum² ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme features a high-flow design and can be easily used with systems that use weaker water pumps or lower pump speed settings as well. The Quantum Momentum² monoblock also comes with sophisticated D-RGB (addressable) lighting with a total of 20 LEDs. They connect to a standard 3-pin 5 V D-RGB addressable header named “Aura Gen2 header” on this ROG motherboard.

The base of the monoblock is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper, while the top is made of quality cast acrylic material. The nickel-plated brass screw-in standoffs are pre-installed and allow for easy installation.

A Digital (addressable) 3-pin 5 V D-RGB LED strip is installed in the monoblock and connects to the motherboard’s 3-pin LED header, or it can be connected to any other supported 5 V 3-pin LED controller. This product is compatible with ASUS Aura Sync RGB control software. The arrow marking on the 3-pin D-RGB LED connector should be aligned with the +5V marking on the AURA Addressable Gen2 header.
