Two years ago, EK Water Blocks introduced a series of budget kits for self-assembly of liquid cooling systems called EK Fluid Gaming, a key feature of which is the use of aluminum not only in radiators, but also in water blocks. And now the Slovenian manufacturer has introduced a new EK-AC GeForce RTX water block in this series, designed, as you might guess, for GeForce RTX video cards.
Like other components of EK Fluid Gaming, the base of the novelty is made of aluminum. Since this is a full coverage water block, its base is in contact not only with the GPU, but also with memory chips and power elements of the power circuits. Note that the EK-AC GeForce RTX water block is compatible with those GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards that are built on reference design printed circuit boards.
The upper part of the novelty is made of transparent acrylic and covers the entire surface of the printed circuit board of the video card. Of course, the EK-AC GeForce RTX has not been without customizable RGB lighting. It is compatible with all current backlight control technologies from motherboard manufacturers. We also note that a rear reinforcing plate is supplied with the water block.
The EK-AC GeForce RTX full-coverage aluminum water block is already available for order on the manufacturer's website for a price of 110 euros. For comparison, copper water blocks for GeForce RTX graphics cards from EK Water Blocks are sold at prices ranging from 135 to 170 euros. And the back plates are sold separately.
