EK-Quantum Vector: full-cover water cooler for the Red Devil RX 6000 series

With the EK-Quantum Vector Red Devil RX 6800/6900 D-RGB, EK Water Blocks offers a full-cover water cooler in two versions based on copper, with a top cover Plexiglass and RGB LEDs or black plastic can be mounted on PowerColor graphics cards from the Red Devil RX 6000 family.

The “Vector” water coolers in the EK Water Blocks portfolio are very classic full-cover water coolers which, in addition to the GPU, also actively cool the memory modules and voltage converters on the graphics card's PCB. The latest addition, which runs under the name EK-Quantum Vector Red Devil RX 6800/6900 D-RGB, fits the custom designs of the Red Devil RX-6000 product line – RX 6800 (XT) and RX 6900 (XT ) – by PowerColor.

EKWB offers buyers the choice between a cooler cap made of transparent Plexiglas or black acetal, whereby the bottom of the cooler is always made of nickel-plated copper. RGB LEDs are included in the coolers, although the type of lighting differs. The LED light strip in the cooler, which consists of nine individually controllable light-emitting diodes, can be controlled via a mainboard connection for RGB LEDs.

Optimierte Fullcover- Water cooler for Red Devil RX series

According to EKWB, the flow channels in the second generation of the Vector cooler have been optimized to prevent hydrodynamic instabilities and turbulence in the water block and thereby ensure even more efficient cooling of the graphics card and components. Thanks to their “open-split-flow design”, they should also be able to offer low hydraulic restrictions and a balanced flow distribution regardless of the orientation of the coolant flow. Powercolors Red Devil RX 6800 (XT) and RX 6900 (XT) with lower temperatures should now also benefit from this. The slim water cooler makes it possible to convert the graphics card into a single-slot design, which can also be closed with a black or nickel-plated aluminum backplate, which must be purchased separately.

The black version of the full-cover water cooler can now be pre-ordered at a price of 159.90 euros, the transparent version made of acrylic costs slightly more at 164.90 euros. The backplate in black and nickel can also be pre-ordered via the EKWB online shop at prices of 42.90 euros and 49.90 euros, respectively. The first orders are expected to be delivered in mid-August 2021.
