From EK's original website description - "EK-Quantum Velocity² D-RGB - 1700 Nickel + Plexi is the new high-performance premium quality CPU water block for the new Intel® socket LGA 1700-based platform. It features a next-generation cooling engine that is socket-specific. This CPU water block is EK-Matrix7 compliant and is mounted via a patented EK Exact Mount system.
EK-Quantum Velocity² series CPU water blocks embed the next generation cooling engine named OptiFlow. They use a specific combination of mounting pressure and coldplate geometry tailored for the IHS and die layout of Intel LGA 1700 socket processors. Low hydraulic flow restriction enables these products to be used in setups using weaker water pumps or lower pump speeds for added silent operation, while still achieving top performance! Thе lathe-turned coldplate is made with precision to effectively cover the IHS and put pressure on the die area.
The Velocity² series water blocks cover the entirety of the socket while conforming to Intel guidelines about safe zones.
The coldplate is manufactured out of the highest-grade 99.99% pure electrolytic copper, machined with precision for the best possible contact and heat transfer which is further nickel-plated. This version of the water block features a nickel-plated cold plate with a CNC machined cast Acrylic top piece.
The EK-Quantum Velocity² is an EK-Matrix7 compatible product. The EK-Matrix7, a product raster that is bound to set a new standard. EK is adding a new dimension to PC liquid cooling, where the height of products and the distance between ports are managed by increments of 7mm. This improves product alignment and reduces the time spent planning the loop and bending tubes. Through the meticulous planning of our products, building a liquid-cooled PC becomes easy and fun, just like toy bricks.
EK-Exact Mount is a patented mounting system designed and engineered by EK in the search for an easy-to-use, but aesthetically pleasing mounting mechanism. It's made up of only three pieces - backplate, mounting screws, and the water block itself. It's screwed in from the back allowing for a seamless and clean front aesthetic without any screws disrupting the harmony of shape. The system uses pre-tensioned springs concealed in the water block top, so with just a few turns of the thumb-nuts, the installation is finished, and you get the exact mounting pressure needed.
This product is compatible with all popular addressable RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers. The arrow marking on the 3-pin D-RGB LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB header. 14 addressable RGB LEDs are hidden under the stick-out piece, which acts as a diffuser.
We shouldn’t forget to mention that our Velocity² products have taken home five prestigious awards so far. Their performance, innovative design, and bold approach to creating water cooling solutions ensured this product line gets the recognition it deserves. The awards given to Velocity² products include iF Design, European Hardware Awards, CES 22, and others."
Used on my personal PC for a couple years, I watercooled for silence and never overclocked or mined or abused the CPU. Cleaned and includes only the hardware you see here - you would likely need to purchase new thermal grease, etc. (if it isn't shown, it isn't included). Only used with regular Kryonaut thermal grease and only ever run with distilled water and clear EK coolant, absolutely never used dyes or anything weird. Install directions available on EK's website. Images/videos provided as evidence of condition - I cannot accept returns on this item. Extremely nice waterblock that always served me well.
