EK Water Blocks has introduced a new water block called the EK-Vector Radeon VII, which, as you might guess, is designed for the AMD Radeon VII graphics card. More precisely, the novelty is intended for the reference version of the graphics accelerator, although there are no others on the market now, and it is not a fact that they will appear.
The novelty will be available in versions with a "pure" copper base and nickel-plated copper for corrosion protection. The EK-Vector Radeon VII is a full coverage water block, which means that in addition to the GPU, it also cools the adjacent HBM2 memory stacks, as well as the power elements of the power subsystem. According to the manufacturer, the use of a cooling system with this water block allows you to overclock the Radeon VII by 10-20%.
The top of the water block can be made from either clear acrylic or black polyformaldehyde. That is, a total of four versions of the EK-Vector Radeon VII are available, combining each of the bases with each of the top covers. By the way, the version with a nickel-plated base and acrylic lid is equipped with customizable RGB lighting. We also note that EK Water Blocks will offer a one-slot high expansion video output rear panel mount to replace the existing two-slot one.
The EK-Vector Radeon VII water block will go on sale April 1st. Both versions with a bare copper base will cost 130 euros, a water block with a nickel-plated base and a black cover will cost 145 euros, and a model with a nickel-plated base, a transparent cover and backlight will cost 150 euros. Additionally, with the new waterblocks, rear reinforcing plates will be offered at a price of 37 euros.
