EK Water Blocks EK-Quantum Vector Trio RTX 2080 Ti D-RGB - Nickel + Acetal

The EK-Quantum Vector Trio RTX 2080 Ti D-RGB high-performance water block is an evolution of the EK-Vector Trio RTX that was specially designed for the MSI Gaming X Trio version of NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards. These water blocks use the signature EK single slot slim look and cover the entire PCB length. This sophisticated cooling solution will transform your powerful MSI graphics card into a minimalistic, elegant piece of hardware with accented D-RGB (addressable) LED lighting. The block also features a unique aesthetic cover over the block Terminal which is designed to showcase the graphics card model via addressable D-RGB LEDs, visible from the side.

This water block is compatible with all MSI Gaming X Trio GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards, but as always, we recommend that you refer to the EK® Cooling Configurator for a precise compatibility match. 

The water block directly cools the GPU, VRAM and the VRM (voltage regulation module) as cooling liquid is channeled directly over these critical areas. These newly developed water blocks feature a redesigned cooling engine that has a larger footprint compared to the previous generation of EK® Full Cover water blocks. This results in a larger surface area for heat transfer which increases the thermal performance of these water blocks. 

The EK Quantum Vector Series water blocks use an Open Split-Flow cooling engine design which proved to be a superior solution for GPU water blocks. It is characterized by low hydraulic flow restriction, which means that it can be used with weaker water pumps, or pumps running on low-speed settings and still achieve top performance. The jet plate and fin structure geometry have been optimized to provide even flow distribution with minimal losses and optimal performances even when used in reversed water flow scenarios. 

The base of the block is CNC machined out of nickel-plated electrolytic copper while the top is CNC machined out of high-quality black POM acetal. Sealing is ensured by high-quality EPDM O-rings. The brass standoffs are already pre-installed and allow for a safe and easy installation procedure. It features three integrated LED sources, two located in the terminal cover and one LED strip on each end of the water block.

The block is already equipped with three 5V D-RGB addressable LED strips that are compatible with the motherboard 3-pin 5V D-RGB (addressable) LED header. This product is compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers.

EK® recommends the purchase of a retention backplate which improves the aesthetics of your graphics cards, but also provides additional passive cooling to the GPU core and circuit board VRM section.

G1/4" threaded fittings can be used on both sides of the terminal and for multiple GPU connectivity, please refer to our offer of EK-Scalar GPU Terminals. The EK-Quantum Vector Trio RTX GPU water block terminal covers are not compatible with FC Terminal X and FC Terminal (Legacy) multi GPU connectivity bridges.

Both the NVIDIA® and MSI NVLink™ are compatible with this water block.
