EK-Quantum Magnitude CPU Water Block

Gave in to the devil's call did you?

Personally I will gladly sacrifice a degree or three and go Optimus. The simple fact is the EK has machining that screams $50 block. Chatter marks bug me. The machining marks on the base of the EK would drive me insane.

On my VII block I returned it because I could feel and hear the marks with my fingernail.

Bitspower block is smooth.
Hi,

This ek magnitude copper acetal has it's work cut out for it just against the foundation

You dirty influencer you! LoL

Actually even free is a hard sell to me.

Just make sure you let people know that EK is giving you a deal that's unavailable to normal folk.

It's really impressive because they claim they don't polish, so that's how fine they machine the base.

I just love my V1. I'm really excited to be getting some test samples. I'll be getting an AM4 block for sure in the next bit with results to follow. :rockout:

Hi,
I thought I was normal folks just asked the right person... o_O

Just as the sell prices speak for themselves so do max core temperatures and high/ low core temp spreads do as well
So besides setup and ambient and water temps.... most will be on my sleeve as far as results go :peace:

Knowing who to ask is definitely a special thing.

I think EK would send me a bomb before they would give me a sample. LoL

I look forward to seeing your results. ;)
 
Geez and extra $80 for .5C ...seems worth it. /s I just bought this heatkiller and it is an awesome block. Both the gpu and cpu have very low flow restriction and combined both of these blocks were $30 more than just the 1 EK block.

Just seen this from Der8auer
It adjusts the positioning of the water blocks for Ryzen 3000 series, works for AIO and custome blocks


30 euros

 
No Test on 3900x ? :(

Der8auer said that he didn't see how he could review his own product & still be neutral, which I feel to be an honest and open statement
