EKWB has announced new GPU water blocks for the upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX-series graphics cards. The four styles of blocks will come out for both the RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti. These water blocks will be compatible with all reference design GeForce RTX 2080 or 2080 Ti (respectively) graphics cards. They also accommodate NVLink bridges for multi-GPU setups.
All of the new EKWB RTX water blocks feature two nickel-plated G1/4-inch brass plugs and come with all the necessary mounting parts – screws, thermal pads, grease, nuts and washers. The nickel-equipped blocks also sport RGB LED lighting that is compatible with mainstream motherboard vendor software i.e Aura Sync, RGB Fusion, RGB Mystic Light and Polychrome Sync.
Do note the water blocks’ specification pages state that they are not compatible with Founder’s Edition backplates. So if you want to cover the back of the yoru new RTX card’s PCB, you’ll have to purchase an additional EKWB retention backplate.
The Copper/Plexi and Copper/Acetal, Nickel/Acetal and Nickel/Plexi blocks priced at $140, $155, and $160, respectively. They are available for pre-order now at the company’s website.
