EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 4090 D-RGB ABP Set - Nickel + Acetal

EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 4090 ABP Set D-RGB - Nickel + Acetal

The EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 4090 ABP Set D-RGB - Nickel + Acetal GPU water block enclosure is compatible with ASUS TUF and ROG Strix RTX 4090 graphics cards. The Vector² water block actively cools the GPU, VRAM, and power stages, as well as the PCB hotspots that are found on the backside of the GPU core, VRAM, and the VRM (voltage regulation module). Cooling liquid is channeled over all these critical areas.

The implemented 3rd-generation Vector cooling engine uses a novel 3D machined acrylic insert to improve flow distribution and thermal performance. This new cooling engine is based on an Open Split-Flow design, but the asymmetric shape of the jet insert helps distribute an even flow between the first and last copper fins. The fin structure geometry has been optimized to provide even flow distribution with minimal losses and optimal performances even when used in reversed water flow scenarios. It is also 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.

Great care was taken to achieve a symmetrical flow domain by utilizing an internal bridge to secondary components. This was done to ensure the cooling of secondary components without sacrificing flow distribution over the GPU core.

All Vector² GPU water blocks use a thick 11mm copper coldplate with an acetal terminal attached directly to it to create a robust assembly. A single o-ring design is used to create a seal between the cold plate and the water block top, reducing the number of failure points. This also means that you have seen the end of stainless steel bridge plates that were utilized on GPU water blocks before. This simple construction provides confidence during customization and maintenance. 

Both cold plates of this GPU water block and the active backplate are CNC-machined out of high-quality, pure electrolytic copper, which is then nickel-plated, while their tops are CNC-machined out of durable black Acetal. A black-anodized aluminum side cover is included with every active backplate to conceal the entire PCB and create a seamless enclosure.
