Backplate for the 3080/3090 water blockĮK recommends the purchase of a retention backplate, especially for the 3090 models of graphics cards. The arrow marking on the 3-pin D-RGB LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB (addressable) header. This water block boasts a total of 5 individually addressable RGB LEDs, and it is compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers.

The aesthetic end-piece is housing the addressable D-RGB LED strip. D-RGB lighting on EK-Quantum Vector XC/3090 D-RGB water block The watertight sealing is ensured by high-quality EPDM O-rings, while brass standoffs are already pre-installed and allow for a safe and easy installation procedure. The base of the block is CNC-machined out of nickel-plated electrolytic copper, while its top is CNC-machined out of glass-like cast Acrylic. These 2nd generation Vector GPU water blocks also feature plexi terminals that match the top cover. The jet plate and fin structure geometry have been optimized to provide even flow distribution with minimal losses and optimal performance when used in any given coolant flow orientation.įin array is populated by 27 microfins with 0.5mm wide microchannels that provide optimal cooling performance, without unnecessary flow restrictions or clogging hazards. It is characterized by low hydraulic flow restriction, meaning it can be used with weaker water pumps or pumps running on low-speed settings, and still achieve top performance. The EK-Quantum Vector Series water blocks use an Open Split-Flow cooling engine design, which proved to be a superior solution for GPU water blocks. Additionally, this new design allows the terminal to be screwed directly onto the copper cold plate of the GPU block, making it more rigid and reducing the chances of damaging the water block. These newly developed water blocks feature optimized flow paths that reduce hydrodynamic instabilities and vortexing (dead spots) inside of them. The water block is in contact with the power stages of the VRM. The Vector water block directly cools the GPU, VRAM, and the VRM (voltage regulation module) as a cooling liquid is channeled right over these critical areas. Īn EK water block for Nvidia GeForce RTX 30ĮK-Quantum Vector XC3 3080/3090 D-RGB water block is compatible with EVGA XC3 RTX 30 graphics cards.

For a precise compatibility match of this water block, we recommend you refer to the EK Cooling Configurator. This is the 2nd generation Vector GPU water block from the EK® Quantum Line, designed for EVGA ® XC3 RTX 30 graphics cards based on the latest NVIDIA® Ampere™ architecture. The compatibility list is not final and other EVGA 30 graphics cards may get confirmed as compatible in the following days.
