EK Makes "Quantum" Leap with New Addition of Vector and Velocity Blocks

[btarunr]

EK , the leading premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, announces the global launch of their new high-end Quantum Product Line. It includes the roll-out of their first two top-of-the-line water block products: Velocity and Vector. "It has been six years since EK initially introduced the CSQ design language, the first of its kind in the industry," said Edvard König, EK's Founder and CEO. "It disrupted the market and set the bar for how water blocks were designed. We knew it was time to raise that bar again, and we developed our Quantum Line to do just that."

EK-Velocity is the new high-performance flagship premium quality CPU water block featuring the fifth iteration of the award-winning EK cooling engine for modern Intel and AMD processors. The EK-Vector RTX 2000 series is the new generation of high-performance water blocks for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX series graphics cards, based on Turing TU104 and Turing TU102 graphics processor. The newly developed water blocks feature a redesigned cooling engine that has a larger footprint compared to the previous generation of full cover water blocks. This results in a larger surface area for heat transfer, which allows the increase of thermal performance of these water blocks.



Explained König: "The Quantum Product Line will offer a complete portfolio of products, starting with Velocity - our flagship CPU water block - and Vector - our GPU water block. They were developed around our Quantum Design philosophy that everything in the liquid cooling loop is interconnected. It's why we considered performance in the context of the entire liquid cooling loop, not just the individual parts. This alignment is expressed through the new design language of the Quantum lineup of products. It is how Quantum will definitively stand out in the industry."

The Quantum Product Line is now available worldwide through a network of partners and resellers, as well as directly through the EK Online Store.

It looks like something else.

It looks like something else.

Exactly what?

 

[Nephilim666]

Have they made a half decent threadripper block yet?

 

[Vlada011]

My waterblock for next platform definitely, Velocity.
With guarantee I can say I will not have enough for Monoblock, but for Velocity we will manage somehow...
Only I'm fan of Full Nickel and Nickel + Acetal non RGB variant.


CPU+GPU Block same brand less chance for corrosion.
Only Vector is not available non RGB Nickel + Acetal as Velocity.

Exactly what?

Something nsfw. Give the CPU block a nice, hard, look.

Never been a fan of EK, they overcharge for what you get and besides...I thought the point of watercooling was to differentiate your rig....so why buy the same watercooling parts that 9 out of 10 builds already have?

Ah... I know what you mean...

Well... but they cost all the same tbh...

This new EK board of directors.

Thanks for breaking compatbility and modularity of yours CPU waterblocks.
The new CPU block doesnt perform 0.5% better than the EVO, just the RGB and 'design'.

First thing I noticed, too. And its even connected to the rest of the components as per design philosophy.

Add some Noctua fans and there you go: all holes covered

I wait with judging till reviewes are done. If any.

Given how physics work, sincerely doubt there will be much improvement or any.

Their promo vid for their lineup is pure cringe and littered with lines like: (in slightly more solemn tone than the tone of speech that preceded) "If you want to stand out, follow us." When they wrote that did they not realize that was an oxymoron?

What, you complain because nice new look, maybe you should check Heatkillers who didn't change look from 2007.
11 years. only add revision. I mean Heatkiller IV Pro Black Copper is nice, nicely build, but I saw same blocks on P55 chipset.
I can't imagine someone to change revolutionary performance of waterblock, if someone move temperature for 3-4C and all reviews confirm that I would be really surprised. No any CPU waterblock on market who separate from others with performance like you have ROG motherboards example.
You only could pay Aqua Computer 250$ for silver and decrease thermal dissipation.
Everything is look and technical support.
Noctua made revolutionary fan, it's max 5% better than best other fans, improvements is not easy to make today.
And this Supremacy - Velocity style fit very good with different motherboards and hardware, you can't say that for every CPU Block, there is a terrible models.
I would like to see example Annihilator for 2011-2066... i Like him example, but he is bigger and probably smaller model would be different.

My personal opinion is that EK launch this blocks to satisfied market of people mostly younger who start to look waterblocks on China sites, everything need to be RGB, colorfull, LCD screens, light-show, etc... and Thermaltake, Enermax, Phanteks, Raijintek all start to build colorful RGB watercooling parts and they recognize nice demand for such products. I'm more old school, I would bought non RGB Velocity or RGB if only Logo light. But check Aliexpress, Alibaba, etc... 10 brands, everything is RGB, price is not cheap at all, very similar to famous brands but products far less quality.
