New Look, Better Performance
Velocity is the name of EKWB‘s next-generation CPU blocks. it is inspired by “the necessity to be lean and agile”, according to EKWB. True enough, these new blocks are very sleek looking and as their new flagship block, should perform better as well. Inside is the 5th iteration of the EK cooling engine, tweaked for high-performance cooling. Internally, it features an internal redesign as much as the external area gets a radical change. It might look simple at first, but it is much more aesthetically and functionally effective.
The block has a new reinforced mounting bracket with smaller streamlined mounting screws. The RGB versions of the block are also equipped with 24 LEDs which evenly surround the water block housing. Lastly, the simplified cooling engine brings performance optimizations through more efficient flow and also easier maintenance for users.
