One of the favorite liquid cooling companies, EK then. They have been present at Computex in a suite as well and had quite a bit of stuff on display. Some interesting topics to cover here are: CryoFuel Solid, the most chemically stable coolant, new Vardar fans, new EK Velocity blocks and well, so much more. Have a peek below the fold.
We’ve received some deeper level info from EK on the topics covered at Computex. I’ve placed all that is new in little paragraphs to read up on. Below the fold there’s a ton of photos you can check out.
EK-CryoFuel Solid
The EK-CryoFuel Solid series is non-transparent, coolants are based on a new revolutionary patent-pending formula. With countless hours of in-house and third-party real-life scenario testing, EK-CryoFuel Solid is the most chemically stable coolant that provides enthusiasts with the best possible level of performance and thermal efficiency with emphasis on color stability. The key features of the new coolant formula is that it is not sedimenting after long hours of inactivity of the cooling loop. As you can see on our live demo coolant stand, it has been stationary for over a day and there is no sedimentation or coolant particle separation visible. At the moment seven key colors are available and they are also working on others as well. EK-CryoFuel Solid coolants contain necessary synergistic corrosion inhibitors to protect metals commonly found in computer liquid cooling systems. It meets corrosion standards for copper, brass, aluminum and stainless steel. This coolant also contains scale and biological inhibitors to help prevent fouling – thus promoting long operational life and high thermal efficiency.
EK-Vardar X3M
EK-Vardar X3M is a high-static pressure computer cooling fan, designed and built primarily for highest-performance computer liquid cooling systems. It is a refined model of the original EK-Vardar fan which was developed in-house and first introduced in 2014. Obviously, the new fan has been aesthetically tweaked and it also features Digital addressable LEDs. The new design provides a vast amount of customization options just by swapping the rubber dampeners. The X3M version of the Vardar fan is equipped with 3 extreme upgrade features. The two most crucial upgrade points are the rubber dampening mounts and the floating fan frame. The rubber dampeners serve as noise canceling elements and also as an aesthetical feature which is available in multiple colors (total of 8). The third upgrade feature is the new fan blade design that provides superior pressure and airflow performance with low noise emissions.
Special Projects EK (wooden stuff)
Everything you do in life, all the choices you make, tells people something about who you, and so does your PC as well. Special Projects by EK is offering completely custom made Liquid cooled PC or any other form of personal computes. For example, these wood garnished computers right here, one that is a small form factor NUC and the other a fully liquid cooled PC. We deal with all kinds of high-end materials and techniques such as brushed anodized aluminum, gold plating, carbon fiber, leather, you name it! Here we want to say that KÖNIG is just an example of Special Projects by EK.
The NUC is a wood covered powerful mini PC with entertainment, light gaming, and productivity features. Obviously, when decorated the right way, small things can also display feelings and emotions. The PC is limited edition rare EK-Vulture case garnished in timber as the perfect symbiosis with high-end hardware. A perfect example of how your PC can reflect your lifestyle.
New Wave CPU water blocks – EK Velocity
The star of the show is the all-new CPU water block, and at the same time, a fresh unified look is embedded across all components to create the epitome of aesthetics. A design that will enable countless variations and refinement for enthusiasts and demanding users. The performance of the block is around the margins of the predecessor but we are working on various tweaks and improvements while maintaining an optimal coolant flow. One is featuring more dense fins, which requires stronger pumps, but at the same time allow top performance for extreme overclocking. The other version of the block is also catering the enthusiasts and it features a special shaped cold plate which in the end replaces the IHS of the CPU, making it an easy and straightforward direct die cooling solution). Visually, these blocks are a very good representation of the final product and the idea behind the design is a simplified cooling engine which prevents air getting stuck in the block, and also makes maintenance much easier. With such a design, EK will be recognized from the far by implementing a few, but crucial design elements. Specific standout shapes, details like chamfered and sloped edges will be the garments of the next generation EK high-end liquid cooling products.
New Wave GPU water blocks
The GPU water blocks are also aesthetically improved to match the new lineup of products with details added on the top, terminal cover, and the backplate as well. Since the EK cooling engine that is utilized in GPU water blocks is still one of the best regarding performance and coolant flow, there has been no changes to it yet. The new GPU cooling engine is planned to debut at the launch of the next generation of NVIDIA graphics cards.
New Wave Monoblocks
The new line of monoblocks will also follow all the new design guidelines and feature the new simplified cooling engine. At the same time, we are also looking at new features that can be implemented with the monoblocks.
New Wave High-End AIO
EK only have rough prototypes of the upcoming high-end AIO, but as you can see, it’s going to be a worthy successor of the Predator and Phoenix units. EK is aiming to claim the throne once again as the manufacturer of the No. 1 AIO cooling unit on the market, both by performance and build quality.
2U Server Rack liquid cooled
A complete 2U liquid cooled server rack solution with an internally placed radiator and pump unit as well. Equipped with a small reservoir and pump combo unit that features an SPC-60 PWM reliable standalone liquid cooling pump. With the maximum pressure head at 3.2m (10,5 ft), maximum flow at 450 L/h it is an ideal solution for server rack application. We can provide custom made liquid cooling solutions for computing server systems and data centers. The cooling system is tailor-made to fit the desired rack mount size restrictions with the choice of internal or external solutions. The pump, radiator or both can be located inside the server rack mount, or externally. Compared to air-cooled servers with identical specs, liquid cooled server solutions have substantially higher efficiency and component density possibilities.
EK-Annihilator EX/EP
EK-Annihilator EX/EP series water blocks are dedicated server grade water blocks specifically developed for LGA 3647 (Socket P) Intel processors with 1U chassis compatibility in mind, now available with both Square and Narrow ILM socket mounting. The entire CPU block was designed from the ground up to fit the requirements of the LGA 3647 socket and to integrate multiple connectivity options for server rack requirements. The EK-Annihilator EX/EP series CPU water blocks are 1U chassis type compatible for server use and workstation type motherboards. EK-Annihilator EX/EP water blocks feature a total of 6 ports, which allow for versatile connectivity options. Two top ports are standard G1/4″ threaded, while the side ports are G1/8″ threaded.
