EK Introduces Liquid Cooling Solution for AMD FirePro W9100

EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is proud to introduce the first dedicated liquid cooling solution for the latest AMD FirePro W9100 series CAD/CAM graphics cards.

EK-FCW9100 is a Full-Cover water block which directly cools the GPU, RAM as well as VRM (voltage regulation module) as water flows directly over these critical areas thus allowing the graphics card and it's VRM to remain 100% stable under any given workload. This cooler features high-flow design therefore it can be easily used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps.
Base is made of C110 grade electrolytic copper while the top is made of laser cut stainless steel metal plate, which also serves as a I/O bracket. The sealing is performed by quality NBR rubber washers while the screw-in standoffs ensure safe and trouble-free installation procedure.

This water block features a very slim design therefore up to seven EK-FCW9100 water blocks can be used on a single ATX form factor motherboard. Contact us for custom multiple-port FC Terminal built per your demands.

A single-slot design also means it is possible to simply double the computing power per unit compared to factory heatsink fan (HSF) cooling solution. Same footprint - twice the power!

"Our solution is opening possibilities for vendors to build more powerful GPGPU powered workstations within the same convenient PC form factor", says Niko Tivadar, Product Manager at EK Water Blocks. "A single OpenCL 2.0 supported workstation offering over 18 TFLOPS of peak dual-precision performance is now a reality."

The product comes with a MSRP of 124.95€ (incl. VAT) and is readily available for purchase through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. Made in Slovenia - Europe!

"Our solution is opening possibilities for vendors to build more powerful GPGPU powered workstations within the same convenient PC form factor", says Niko Tivadar"

The problem with this statement is the vendor/integrator/oem has to figure out how to add the radiator/pump/res too. Professional systems do not always have the footprint for adding the water loop components. Then they need to determine how to support those components from a warranty level. Then train their technical support to service and maintain the loop. Adoption of this block will be difficult.

They should have offered a hybrid water/air design for vendors in this case; or, an AIO water cooling solution.

They've been making WS blocks like this one for ages so they must have demand for them.

Pretty sweet for a workstation. I kinda prefer the AIO- approach. It looks easier to me. If it fails, it doesn't take a lot to change it. And if the fans fail, it's a piece of cake to replace them. But that's an amazing path as well. The more WC penetrates into workstation/science fascilites (smaller one's I mean) the better I think.
