Details
EK-Quantum Velocity² Direct Die D-RGB - 1700 Nickel + Plexi?is?specifically
designed for direct die cooling of the?Intel® LGA 1700 socket-based CPUs of
12th and 13th?generation?Core architecture. It features a?direct-die-exclusive cooling engine
that is LGA 1700 socket-specific. It requires the removal of the IHS, the
process popularly called Delidding. This CPU water block is EK-Matrix7
compliant and is mounted via a reinforced EK-Exact Mount system.
Direct Die Cooling Engine
This water block carries significant differences when compared to the
regular EK-Quantum Velocity² and is thus exclusive for direct die cooling. It
will not work on CPUs that still have their IHS due to differences in Z-axis.?The microfin stack
is reduced in surface and focused toward the center where the CPU die is
located. There is no Integrated Heat Spreader, so heat density will be
significantly higher in this location. The base is thicker to further improve
cooling and the ability to absorb heat and transfer it to the coolant.
The microfins also go deeper into the coldplate, reaching even closer to
the core. The jetplate has a geometry designed to focus on the center of the
fin stack with a very high flow rate and even lower restriction than a regular
jetplate. A highly compressible foam frame is also added to ensure your liquid
metal application doesn't spread over to surface-mounted components on the CPU
and cause a short. A secondary purpose is that it also protects the ILM
replacement frame made of anodized aluminum. The ILM frame is insulated toward
the motherboard to prevent any shorts. The Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut is
included in the package.
The?Velocity² series water blocks cover the entirety of the socket while
conforming to Intel guidelines about safe zones.
Water Block Material and Manufacturing
The coldplate 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.? This version of the water block
features a nickel-plated coldplate with a CNC-machined cast Acrylic top piece.
EK-Matrix7
The EK-Quantum Velocity² is an EK-Matrix7 compatible product. The
EK-Matrix7 is a product raster that is bound to set a new standard. EK is
adding a new dimension to PC liquid cooling, where the height of products and
the distance between ports are managed by increments of 7mm. 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.
EK-Quantum Velocity² Direct Die Mounting
This water block uses a reinforced EK-Exact Mount to account for the ILM
replacement frame. This modified version is twice as thick as the regular one.
The backplate is insulated via both anodization and a polycarbonate sheet from the
motherboard components.
It's screwed in from the back, allowing for seamless and clean front
aesthetics without any screws disrupting the harmony of shape.?The system uses
pre-tensioned springs concealed in the water block top, so the installation is
finished and the exact mounting pressure is achieved with only a few turns of
the thumb nuts.
EK-Quantum Velocity² ILM Replacement - 1700
This contact frame replaces the motherboard's integrated loading
mechanism (ILM) with a frame that bolsters the structural rigidity of the
socket, motherboard, and even the CPU. It prevents warping or bending of the
CPU and the surrounding area, improving cooling efficiency due to more even
pressure applied on the CPU. This ILM replacement also acts as a die guard, not
allowing too much pressure to crush the CPU die. To prevent any unwanted
electrical conductivity, it is insulated from the motherboard.
EK-Quantum Velocity² Direct Die D-RGB LED Lighting
This product is compatible with all popular addressable RGB sync
technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers. The arrow marking on the
3-pin D-RGB LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB
header. 14 addressable RGB LEDs are hidden under the stick-out piece, which
acts as a diffuser.
