EK, a company specializing in the creation of high-end cooling solutions, has recently launched a brand new water block featuring an unusual 4-in-1 configuration that also integrates pump and tank. The new product is designed for 12th generation Intel Core Alder Lake CPUs and is therefore compatible with motherboards equipped with LGA 1700 socket. It combines the new EK-Quantum Velocity² cooling engine, specifically designed for the Intel socket, with a PWM DDC 4.2 pump in a very compact packaging.
The integrated PWM DDC 4.2 pump is original and is cooled by the metal part of the water block. The small size, made possible by this type of configuration, makes it ideal for ITX homes, where the space available for liquid cooling systems is notoriously small. Inside the waterblock there is also a tank that you can easily fill (and top up when needed).
The EK liquid cooling system is finally compatible with all RGB synchronization solutions and has 14 Addressable LEDs positioned in the transparent central section, made of acrylic. EK-Quantum Velocity² DDC 4.2 PWM D-RGB is produced in Slovenia and is already available for pre-order in Europe via the official website, at the suggested price of € 329.90; Unfortunately, at the moment there is only a version compatible with the Intel LGA1700 socket, but we hope that in the coming weeks a variant compatible with the new AMD AM5 socket will also debut.
