The EK-Vector Aorus RTX high-performance water blocks are specifically designed for Gigabyte Aorus model of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 graphics playing cards. The water blocks use the signature EK single slot slim look, and it covers the complete PCB size. This refined cooling resolution will rework your highly effective Aorus graphics card right into a minimalistic, elegant piece of {hardware} with accented RGB LED lighting. The block additionally includes a distinctive aesthetic cowl over the block Terminal which is designed to showcase the graphics card mannequin by way of LEDs, seen from the aspect.
The water block is available in two completely different fashions made particularly for Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 2080 and Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 2080 Ti playing cards. Each of them immediately cools the water block immediately cools the GPU, VRAM and the VRM (voltage regulation module) as cooling liquid is channeled immediately over these important areas. These newly developed water blocks function a redesigned cooling engine that has a bigger footprint in comparison with the earlier technology of EK Full Cover water blocks. This leads to a bigger floor space for warmth switch which will increase the thermal efficiency of those water blocks.
The EK Vector Series water blocks use an Open Split-Flow cooling engine design which proved to be a superior resolution for GPU water blocks. It is characterised by low hydraulic circulation restriction, which implies that it may be used with weaker water pumps, or pumps operating on low-speed settings and nonetheless obtain high efficiency. The jet plate and fin construction geometry have been optimized to supply even circulation distribution with minimal losses and optimum performances even when utilized in reversed water circulation situations.
The base of the block is CNC machined out of nickel-plated electrolytic copper whereas the highest is CNC machined out of high-quality black acetal or glass-like acrylic materials relying in your mannequin of selection. Sealing is ensured by high-quality EPDM O-rings. The brass standoffs are already pre-installed and permit for a protected and simple set up process.
The block is already outfitted with 4 12V RGB LED strip which is suitable with the motherboard 4-pin 12V RGB LED header. This product is suitable with common RGB sync applied sciences from all main motherboard producers.
EK recommends the acquisition of a retention backplate which improves the aesthetics of your graphics playing cards, but in addition gives further passive cooling to the GPU core and circuit board VRM part.
G1/4″ threaded fittings can be utilized on either side of the terminal and for a number of GPU connectivity, please check with our supply of GPU Terminals.
Both the NVIDIA and Gigabyte NVLink are suitable with this water block.
Compatibility
EK-Vector Aorus RTX 2080 Ti water blocks are suitable with Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics playing cards based mostly on Turing graphics processors.
EK-Vector Aorus RTX 2080 water blocks are suitable with Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 2080 graphics playing cards based mostly on Turing graphics processors.
EK-Vector Aorus RTX Backplates
EK-Vector Aorus RTX collection water blocks are suitable with the corresponding the EK-Vector Aorus RTX backplates that passively cool the graphics chip and VRM from the again aspect of the PCB. The EK-Vector Aorus RTX backplates are made from high-quality Aluminum and are available nickeled and anodized black variants. The EK-Vector Aorus RTX collection water blocks aren’t suitable with manufacturing facility backplates.
Availability and Pricing
The EK-Vector Aorus RTX collection water blocks and backplates are made in Slovenia, Europe and can be found for order via EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. In the desk beneath you’ll be able to see the producer instructed retail value (MSRP) excluding VAT.
