EK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080/3090 - Full Nickel is an updated design of the 2nd generation Vector GPU full nickel water block from the EK® Quantum Line. It is made for graphics cards based on the latest NVIDIA® Ampere™ architecture. This extended compatibility water block fits even more reference PCB RTX 3080 and 3090 designs.

The EK-Vector RTX RGB - Nickel + Plexi high-performance water block is specially designed for multiple NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX Turing based graphics cards. The water block itself uses the signature EK single slot slim look, and it covers the entire PCB length. This sophisticated cooling solution will transform your beefy graphics card into a minimalistic, elegant piece of hardware.

Vector series water blocks are part of the EK Quantum Product Line that emphasizes minimalistic, elegant design, and performance. For those who want to stand out!

Includes 2 x nickel plated backplate to improve heat dissipation and asthetics. Choose this option if two graphics cards are installed.

EK-Quantum Vector RTX 3080/3090 D-RGB water block is purpose-designed with a much thicker copper base to clear the tall capacitors on graphics cards. This gives the water block the advantage of having a wider compatibility list, without sacrificing any coolant flow restriction.

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. The water block is in contact with MOSFETs and chokes to maximize cooling and minimize the chances of coil whine. 

These newly developed water blocks feature optimized flow paths that reduce hydrodynamic instabilities and vortexing (dead spots) inside of them. 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. 

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. 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 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. 

Fin array is populated by 27 microfins with 0.5mm wide microchannels that provide optimal cooling performance, without unnecessary flow restrictions or clogging hazards.

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 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 aesthetic end-piece is housing the addressable D-RGB LED strip. 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 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 configuration includes the required EK-Quantum Vector RTX 3080/3090 Backplate in Nickel which is a CNC machined retention backplate made from black anodized aluminum, that fits all EK-Quantum Vector RTX 3080/3090 water blocks.

The backplate covers the whole length of the graphics cards PCB, serves as an aesthetic add-on, and also provides passive cooling for the backside of the voltage regulation module (VRM), the GPU core, and VRAM on the 30 series cards.
