EK by LM TEK is proud to announce the EK-Pro GPU WB H200 NVL, a high-performance full-cover GPU water block designed for the NVIDIA H200 NVL. Engineered for high-density AI server deployments and data center environments, the block features a single-slot form factor optimized for maximum compute density and system compatibility. By covering the entire PCB, the EK-Pro water block directly cools the GPU, HBM memory, and VRM ensuring optimal thermal performance, stability, and sustained performance under demanding workloads. The low-profile, rack-style terminal design reduces overall assembly height, improving chassis compatibility across standard Full Height Full Width (FHFW) server platforms. This enables seamless integration as a drop-in replacement for both active and passive dual-slot air coolers.

Dual-Pass Cooling Engine for Maximum Thermal Efficiency
At the core of the EK-Pro GPU WB H200 NVL is a dual-pass cooling engine, engineered to maintain high flow rate. The coolant flows sequentially through two optimized microfin stacks, cooling each half of the GPU die and HBM memory to ensure uniform heat dissipation. This design maintains consistent flow distribution and thermal performance, minimizing losses even in reversed flow scenarios, while delivering efficient cooling across the entire GPU surface.

With the matt nickel-plated fittings, Thermal Grizzly expands its product range and offers more options for building a custom water-cooling system. In addition to the new color variant, two new fittings are now available, each with two G1/4-inch female threads. The DeltaMate Rotary - FF90° and the DeltaMate Extender - FF14 are primarily intended for combining two fittings. For example, two short hard tubes can be combined into one long hard tube using two DeltaMate Fittings - HT16 and a DeltaMate Extender - FF14, or routed at a 90-degree angle using the DeltaMate Rotary - FF90° and two HT16 fittings, without the need to bend the tubes themselves.

DeltaMate Fittings are water cooling connectors designed for the individual components of a custom water cooling loop. As expected from Thermal Grizzly quality, the fittings are precisely machined from brass. Brass, as an alloy of copper and zinc, offers the advantage of being anodically compatible with other metals while being harder and more corrosion-resistant than copper.

In September 2025, the nickel-plating process was switched to an electroplated bright-nickel method. As a result, the AM5 High Performance Heatspreaders of the 3rd generation now look similar to those of the 1st generation. The new batches using the updated process offer the same performance within measurement tolerance as the previously matte-nickel-plated High Performance Heatspreaders (2nd generation). At present, it is still possible that matte-nickel-plated High Performance Heatspreaders will be shipped. High Performance Heatspreaders with the original nickel plating (1st generation) should no longer be circulating in retail.

The same applies to the Mycro Direct-Die Pro water coolers. Here as well, the process has been changed to the electroplated bright-nickel method, meaning mixed inventory with matte-coated coolers may appear in retail. Performance has also not changed here within measurement tolerance.
