EKWB EK-Quantum Vector 2 Strix RTX 3080/90 GPU Water Block & Backplate, D-RGB, Nickel/Plexi

The Vector water block actively cools the GPU, VRAM (on the front), power stages, and chokes in the VRM (voltage regulation module), and passively the PCB hotspots that are found on the backside of the GPU core, and the VRM (voltage regulation module). On the RTX 3090, the VRAM located on the backside is passively cooled, while the RTX 3080 gets cooling for the PCB located around the front-mounted VRAM.The black anodized backplate has a new L-shaped profile that touches the base of the water block and encloses the entire GPU while increasing the cooling surface leading to even better performance.For the first time, captive backplate screws are added to the backplate. They simplify installation, ensuring the correct length is always used where it is needed to avoid any user error or second-guessing.Sleek magnetic covers are used to conceal the terminal screws, which allows rotating the branding when the GPU water block and active backplate enclosure is inverted in the case, or being used on a vertical GPU mount.Addressable D-RGB LED lighting is deployed on the longest edge of the water block for improved uniformity and brightness. The PCB and diodes are concealed inside a clean aluminum extrusion. The individually addressable RGB LED is compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers.Enclosed:- EK-Quantum Vector² Strix RTX 3080/90 D-RGB series high-performance water block- EK-Quantum Vector² Strix RTX 3080/90 Backplate - Black- Mounting mechanism with screw-in brass standoffs- Necessary mounting screws, nuts, and washers- Thermal pad installation quick start guide- 2x Nickel plated brass plug G1/4”- EK-Loop Multi Allen Key (6mm, 8mm, 9mm)- Thermal pads- Thermal grease EK-TIM Ectotherm (1g) Model: 3831109891315
