The launch of upper core depend HEDT processors opened new alternatives and challenges for cooling options. The main purpose in designing the brand new EK-Velocity sTR4 water block was to fully redesign the cooling engine to realize even higher efficiency than the earlier generations. A dense micro-fin construction counts 91 large grooves to allow very good warmth switch.
Five totally different variations of the EK-Velocity sTR4 water block are actually obtainable:
- EK-Velocity sTR4 D-RGB – Nickel + Plexi
- EK-Velocity sTR4 D-RGB – Nickel + Acetal
- EK-Velocity sTR4 – Nickel + Plexi
- EK-Velocity sTR4 – Nickel + Acetal
- EK-Velocity sTR4 RGB – Full Nickel
Every EK-Velocity sTR4 water block comes with a exactly machined copper base (typically known as ‘chilly plate’) which is constructed from purest copper obtainable in the marketplace and is handled with nickel electroplating. Unlike another CPU blocks, the sTR4 comes with a cultured chilly plate to realize the very best warmth switch with the IHS of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor. The high of the water block is constructed from CNC machined POM Acetal, acrylic glass or nickel-plated brass (relying on the variant).
EK-Velocity sTR4 comes with a pre-assembled error-preventing mounting mechanism that’s put in straight onto the SocketTR4 mounting holes. The consequence is an ideal set up which leads to optimum efficiency each time. This additionally means the water block is out of the field suitable with AMD’s server sort Socket SP3 motherboards. With such a mounting answer, the consumer doesn’t have to take away the motherboard from the case and so has a hassle-free set up process of the brand new CPU. It’s advisable that customers observe the EK-Velocity sTR4 water block set up guide for the prompt methodology of thermal grease software for the best-expected outcomes.
The base plate is overlaying 100% of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). The EK-Velocity sTR4 cooling engine carried out into the water block is the important thing to a high-flow design with low hydraulic restriction mixed with high-performance cooling. The newly engineered cooling engine consists of 91 micro fins spanning over a big floor space guaranteeing very good warmth switch of all dies throughout the AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs.
The D-RGB variations of the EK-Velocity sTR4 water block are suitable with well-liked RGB sync applied sciences from all main motherboard producers. The arrow marking on the 3-pin LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB(A_RGB) header. You can simply take away the LED strip cowl which is mounted with two screws to switch the LED strip with another sort LED strip.
The EK-Velocity sTR4 – Full Nickel is lit with customary 12V RGB LEDs and is suitable with well-liked RGB sync applied sciences from all main motherboard producers. The arrow marking on the 4-pin LED connector is to be aligned with the +12V marking on the RGB header. You can simply take away the LED strip cowl which is mounted with two screws to switch the LED strip with another sort LED strip.
Availability and Pricing
EK-Velocity sTR4 water blocks are made in Slovenia and can be found for buy by way of EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. In the desk under you possibly can see producer prompt retail worth (MSRP) with VAT included.
