EKWB EK-Vector RGB

Thanks to an optimized channel structure and an electrolytic copper block, efficient cooling of the GPU, memory, and voltage regulators is guaranteed. The cooler also features a transparent acrylic glass cover and integrated RGB lighting, providing a truly unique appearance, as the cooling liquid can be seen flowing through it. High performance in the graphics card segment still comes at the cost of significant heat generation. Only by pushing the clock speed to the limit and utilizing the calculation units to their fullest can a decisive advantage over competing products be achieved. While smaller feature sizes and more efficient layouts can mitigate this issue, they cannot eliminate it entirely. The next generation is also expected to be pushed to the maximum. The problem is exacerbated by overclocking, as this can lead to critical temperature levels. In short: those who desire low noise levels during gaming or benchmarking while potentially tweaking the clock speed will find it hard to avoid liquid cooling. In addition to the usual components (radiator, pump, expansion tank), a suitable cooler for NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is, of course, necessary—such as this model from the cooling specialist EK Water Blocks. It features a full-block design that covers all relevant heat sources of the graphics card, effectively cooling the GPU, memory, and voltage regulators. Electrolytic copper and an optimized channel structure are used to transfer heat efficiently. The cover is made of transparent acrylic glass and is illuminated by several RGB LEDs.
