EK Water Blocks EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge D-RGB - 1700 Silver Special Edition

EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge D-RGB - 1700 Silver Special Edition is a testament to cutting-edge cooling technology and aesthetic sophistication. Designed for the Intel® socket LGA 1700-based platform, this high-performance, premium-quality CPU water block stands apart with its visually arresting top cover – a stunning array of irregular CNC-milled tetrahedrons. Crafted from high-grade aluminum and anodized in an elegant silver finish, this unique design adds unparalleled appearance and enhances the dynamics of light and shadow, creating a bold aesthetic statement. This distinctive feature is the hallmark of the Velocity² Edge Special Edition, positioning it as a centerpiece in any high-end PC build.

OptiFlow Cooling Engine

At the heart of the EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge D-RGB - 1700 Silver Special Edition is the next-generation OptiFlow cooling engine. This advanced engine is meticulously tailored for the IHS and die layout of Intel LGA 1700 socket processors, utilizing a specific combination of mounting pressure and cold plate geometry. The outcome is a low hydraulic flow restriction design, enabling the use of less powerful water pumps or reduced pump speeds for quieter operation, all while maintaining exceptional performance levels. The lathe-turned cold plate ensures optimal contact and heat transfer, thoroughly covering the processor and conforming to Intel's safe zone guidelines.

Water Block Material and Manufacturing

The cold plate of this water block is manufactured of the highest-grade 99.99% pure electrolytic copper, precision-machined to ensure the best possible contact and superior heat transfer. This version of the water block boasts a nickel-plated cold plate paired with a robust plexi top. Adding to its distinctive design, the top cover is made from high-grade aluminum, intricately CNC-milled into an array of irregular tetrahedrons, and finished in elegant silver anodization. Before the CNC process, the top cover material, consisting of a 30mm thick aluminum sheet, is carefully prepared, ensuring robustness and precision in design. This meticulous combination of top-tier materials and advanced manufacturing techniques provides both exceptional performance and striking aesthetics.

Patent-Pending EK-ExactMount System

Our patent-pending EK-ExactMount system revolutionizes the installation process. Consisting of just three components – a backplate, mounting screws, and the water block itself – it achieves a seamless and aesthetically pleasing front appearance without any screws in sight. The pre-tensioned springs hidden in the water block top ensure quick installation and the correct mounting pressure, making it user-friendly and safe for your hardware.

Stunning D-RGB LED Lighting

Compatible with all popular addressable RGB sync technologies from major motherboard manufacturers, the EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge D-RGB - 1700 Silver Special Edition features 25 addressable RGB LEDs. These LEDs create a sophisticated lighting display, accentuating the unique tetrahedron design and enhancing the overall appeal of your system. The arrow marking on the 3-pin D-RGB LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB header.

EK-Matrix7

This Special Edition water block fully complies with EK-Matrix7, our innovative standard in PC liquid cooling. EK-Matrix7 manages product height and port distance in 7mm increments, enhancing alignment and simplifying the loop planning and tube bending process. This system transforms the complexity of building a liquid-cooled PC into a streamlined and enjoyable experience.
