The coldplate is manufactured out of the highest-grade 99.99% – pure electrolytic copper, machined with precision for the best possible contact and heat transfer. It uses the same modified coldplate with the microfin stack reduced in surface that focuse s coolant toward the center where the CPU di e is lo cated.

The coldplate is further nickel-plated, while the top of the water block is made of CNC-machined cast acrylic.ĮK-Quantum Velocity² Direct Die D-RGB – 1700 Nickel + Plexiįrom the front, the water block looks like a regular Velocity² CPU LGA 1700, but it shares some of its parts with the Limited Edition Direct Die gold water bloc k. The backplate is insulated via both anodization and a polycarbonate sheet from the motherboard components. The block uses a modified EK-Exact Mount to account for the ILM replacement frame that also acts as a die-guard. The The r ma l Gri zzly Con duct onau t is inc lu de d in the pa c k age.
