A Variant of the EK-Quantum Velocity² Cooling Engine
This CPU water block features a variant of the EK-Quantum Velocity² cooling engine specifically designed for Intel LGA 1700 socket processors, with optimized mounting pressure and cold plate geometry. Thanks to its low hydraulic flow restriction, it's ideal for setups with weaker water pumps or lower pump speeds.
The cold plate is meticulously engineered to cover the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS) and apply pressure to the die area. The acetal top efficiently channels the coolant towards the jet plate, promoting enhanced liquid turbulence and directing it into the central microfin stack of the cold plate. Consequently, the liquid bifurcates to both sides and goes back out, facilitating optimal flow and cooling for the CPU die. This is further enhanced by its direct positioning beneath the middle of the cold plate, allowing maximum cooling effectiveness.
The EK-Pro CPU WB 1700 – Nickel + Inox water block features a precisely machined copper base (coldplate) made from the purest copper available on the market and is treated with nickel electroplating. The top is CNC machined from durable black POM Acetal, and the hold-down bracket is made of laser-cut stainless steel.
This water block features a pre-assembled mounting mechanism directly attached to its metal mounting bracket, designed to prevent errors during installation. Four spring-loaded screws guarantee optimal hold-down pressure, ensuring a perfect installation and optimal performance without the need for guesswork.
