EK-Quantum Velocity² Direct Die D-RGB - 1700 Nickel + Plexi

-

Direct Die Cooling Engine
This water block carries significant differences when compared to the regular EK-Quantum Velocity² and is thus exclusive for direct die cooling. It will not work on CPUs that still have their IHS due to differences in Z-axis. The microfin stack is reduced in surface and focused toward the center where the CPU die is located. There is no Integrated Heat Spreader, so heat density will be significantly higher in this location. The base is thicker to further improve cooling and the ability to absorb heat and transfer it to the coolant.

Water Block Material and Manufacturing
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 coldplate with a CNC-machined cast Acrylic top piece.

EK-Quantum Velocity² ILM Replacement - 1700
This contact frame replaces the motherboard's integrated loading mechanism (ILM) with a frame that bolsters the structural rigidity of the socket, motherboard, and even the CPU. It prevents warping or bending of the CPU and the surrounding area, improving cooling efficiency due to more even pressure applied on the CPU. This ILM replacement also acts as a die guard, not allowing too much pressure to crush the CPU die. To prevent any unwanted electrical conductivity, it is insulated from the motherboard.
