EK-Quantum Vector² RE RTX 3080/90 ABP D-RGB - Nickel + Acetal is an Active Backplate addon for the EK-Quantum Vector² RE RTX 3080/90 D-RGB - Nickel + Acetal GPU water block. It is made to actively cool the backside of reference GeForce RTX™ 3080, 3080 Ti, and 3090 RE GPUs. As with the water block, when upgraded with an active backplate, the entire enclosure stays fully EK-Matrix7 compliant on every axis. This ensures ease of integration and alignment with all other EK-Matrix7 products.
For a precise compatibility match of this water block, we recommend you refer to the EK Cooling Configurator.

The EK-Quantum Vector² RE RTX 3080/90 ABP comes with a new terminal that replaces the stock terminal arriving with the Vector² water block and links the water block and Vector Active Backplate into a single unit. This way, the whole enclosure requires only one inlet and one outlet, removing unnecessary additional tubing and reducing clutter. It is the ultimate aesthetic and performance solution that finds your GPU sandwiched between two water blocks, allowing maximum cooling.

The Vector² Active Backplate directly cools the PCB hotspots that are found on the backside of the GPU core and the VRM (voltage regulation module). On the RTX 3090, the VRAM located on the backside is cooled, while the RTX 3080 gets cooling for the PCB located around the front-mounted VRAM. Cooling liquid is channeled over all these critical areas.

These new Vector² Active Backplates feature a Direct Link flow solution - the first multiple block solution to implement a conventional 4-port terminal layout. That allows serial and parallel connections from adjacent or opposing sides of the block. It was made possible by the addition of a machined brass insert that diagonally links the water block directly to the active backplate inside the acetal terminal. Direct Link proves invaluable when incorporating an ABP with a standard distribution plate or vertical GPU mount.

Tactile magnetic covers are used to conceal the terminal screws, which allows rotating the branding when the GPU is inverted in the case.

The base of the active backplate is CNC-machined out of nickel-plated electrolytic copper, while its top is CNC-machined out of durable black Acetal. A black-anodized aluminum side cover is included with every active backplate to conceal the entire PCB and create a seamless enclosure.

A dense D-RGB LED strip illuminates the parting line of the stand-out element on both sides of the block. This subtle effect allows vivid displays of color while the block remains entirely black. The individually addressable RGB LED is compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers. The arrow marking on the 3-pin D-RGB LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB (addressable) header.

A premium aesthetic terminal cover for EK-Quantum Scalar terminals, EK-Quantum Scalar accessories like the Flow Indicator, and a replacement cover for stock GPU terminals as well.
The cover is machined out of a solid piece of aluminum which is then nickel plated to give it a premium look and feel. The cover can be attached quickly and easily by using the integrated pin screws located on the backside of the terminal cover.

The prime purpose of the product is to provide a terminal cover for users with EK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080/3090, EK-Quantum Vector Trinity RTX 3080/3090, EK-Quantum Vector Trinity RTX 3070, EK-Quantum Vector Strix RTX 3080/3090, and similar GPU water blocks which have a single piece terminal, which is then replaced with an EK-Quantum Scalar Flow Indicator. The EK-Quantum Vector Terminal Cover will provide an aesthetically cover for the screws, which blends in with the water block and flow indicator perfectly.
In the same way, the EK-Quantum Vector Terminal Cover can provide an aesthetical shroud for the screws for multi GPU setups using any of the EK-Scalar Dual or EK-Scalar Quad terminals.
Finally, any user who wishes to reduce the number of RGB LED sources in his PC, can use the EK-Quantum Vector Terminal Cover to replace the stock plastic cover on water blocks that have the two-piece terminal design (acetal terminal + plastic cover).
