Backplate EK Water Blocks EK-Quantum Vector2 XC3 RTX 3080/90 aluminio plateado

The EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080/90 Backplate in Silver is a CNC-machined aluminium retention backplate with a natural anodized finish. It is made to fit all EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080/90 water blocks and complements EK's Satin Titanium product line. The backplate spans the full length of the graphics card PCB, adding a refined appearance while providing passive cooling to the backside of the voltage regulation module (VRM) and the GPU core.

Advantages

Constructed from durable aluminium with a natural anodized surface, the backplate offers both structural protection and improved thermal dissipation for the card's rear components. Its precise CNC machining ensures a secure fit with EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080/90 water blocks, and the silver finish integrates visually with other EK components.
