Bloco de água EK Water Blocks Quantum Velocity2 D-RGB

EK-Quantum Velocity² D-RGB - 1700 Nickel + Plexi is a high-performance CPU water block designed specifically for Intel LGA 1700 socket platforms. It incorporates a next-generation OptiFlow cooling engine, a lathe-turned nickel-plated copper cold plate with a CNC-machined acrylic top, and compatibility with the EK-Matrix7 product raster. The block is mounted using the patent-pending EK Exact Mount system and includes addressable D-RGB lighting with 14 LEDs.

Advantages

The OptiFlow cooling engine is optimized for the IHS and die layout of Intel LGA 1700 processors, providing efficient heat transfer while maintaining low hydraulic flow restriction for use with lower pump speeds. The cold plate is made from 99.99% pure electrolytic copper and nickel-plated for improved durability and corrosion resistance. EK-Matrix7 compatibility ensures consistent alignment with other components, simplifying loop planning and tube routing. The EK Exact Mount system offers a clean front appearance and precise mounting pressure via concealed pre-tensioned springs.

Suitable for

• High-performance desktop builds using Intel LGA 1700 CPUs
• Custom water cooling loops where low flow restriction is desired
• Systems requiring addressable RGB lighting integration

How to use

Install the water block following the EK Exact Mount procedure: secure the backplate, position the block over the socket, and tighten the mounting screws from the rear while using the thumb-nuts to achieve the correct mounting pressure. Connect the 3-pin D-RGB cable to the motherboard header, aligning the arrow on the connector with the +5V marking on the header. Integrate the block into your custom liquid cooling loop, ensuring proper flow direction and leak testing before powering the system.

Recommendations

Use a compatible coolant and maintain recommended flow rates for your loop. Verify D-RGB header compatibility on the motherboard and route tubing to minimize sharp bends. Perform a thorough leak test after installation and monitor temperatures after first power-up to confirm correct contact and flow.
