Bloque de agua EK Water Blocks Latón Cobre Negro Oro

EK-Quantum Velocity² D-RGB - 1700 Nickel + Gold is a premium CPU water block designed specifically for Intel LGA 1700 socket platforms. It integrates a socket-specific OptiFlow cooling engine and a lathe-turned coldplate to ensure precise contact with the CPU IHS and die area. The coldplate is manufactured from 99.99% pure electrolytic copper, nickel-plated, while the top is CNC-machined brass with nickel plating and an additional genuine gold plating. The block is EK-Matrix7 compliant and is mounted using the patent-pending EK Exact Mount system.

Advantages

The OptiFlow cooling engine provides low hydraulic flow restriction for compatibility with lower-power pumps and quieter operation without sacrificing thermal performance. The precision-machined copper coldplate improves heat transfer by matching the IHS and die layout of LGA 1700 processors. Full-socket coverage conforms to Intel safe-zone guidelines, and the EK-Matrix7 compatibility simplifies loop planning and component alignment. Integrated D-RGB lighting with 14 addressable LEDs supports major motherboard sync standards.

Suitable for

• High-performance Intel LGA 1700 desktop CPUs
• Custom liquid-cooling loops requiring low flow restriction
• Silent or low-speed pump configurations
• Systems where aesthetics and RGB synchronization are desired

How to use

Install the EK-Quantum Velocity² water block following the EK Exact Mount instructions supplied with the product. Align the jetplate for LGA 1700 and secure the backplate and mounting mechanism. Connect the 3-pin D-RGB cable with the arrow aligned to the +5V mark on your motherboard’s D-RGB header. Use the included Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut thermal grease when mounting the block to the CPU IHS. Ensure tubing and fittings are secured and the loop is pressure-tested before powering the system.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use in a closed-loop custom water-cooling system with compatible fittings and a reliable pump. Verify D-RGB header voltage and motherboard compatibility before connecting, and follow standard anti-static precautions during installation.
