With the EK-Quantum Momentum ROG Maximus XIII Hero Monoblock, the manufacturer EK Water Blocks, which specializes in custom water coolers, has a first CPU/VRM cooler as a complete solution for a Z590 mainboard in its portfolio . The monoblock suitable for the Asus ROG Maximus XIII Hero is optionally available as a plexi and acetal version.

The Asus ROG Maximus XIII Hero is the first Z590 motherboard to receive a water cooler for CPU and voltage converter. The monoblock from EK Water Blocks operates in the EK-Quantum-Momentum-Line in two versions, which share the typical base plate made of nickel-plated copper, but have differences in the lid. One model has a cover made of transparent Plexiglas, which is also equipped with RGB LEDs and can therefore be illuminated in color via the mainboard. The second variant, on the other hand, is equipped with a classic black acetal (POM) lid, without any lighting.

The monoblock simultaneously cools the CPU and the voltage converter on the mainboard, so that high and stable overclocking should be possible. The connection to a custom water cooling system is made via two common 1/4 “threads. The scope of delivery includes two panels that are screwed to the mainboard near the connector strip and on the opposite side of the CPU socket.

The cooling block can now be pre-ordered via the EK Water Blocks webshop. Delivery of the first copies is scheduled to begin at the end of July. For the EK-Quantum Momentum ROG Maximus XIII Hero D-RGB – Plexi model, the manufacturer gives a recommended price of 189.90 euros. The EK-Quantum Momentum ROG Maximus XIII Hero D-RGB – Acetal model costs five euros less, i.e. 184.90 euros.
