NOTE: Not compatible with the OG version of the ASUS RTX 4090 GPUs. EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 3090 Ti D-RGB ABP Set and EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 3090 Ti water block perfectly fit these OG edition GPUs.
The new Vector² EVO water blocks effortlessly solve the issue of excessive heat generation during high load on the GPU. These water blocks for the ROG® Strix and ASUS® TUF GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs cool the graphics compute die, voltage regulation module, voltage controllers, and VRAM.
The main upgrades of the EVO water blocks include:
Something that will definitely be visible at first glance is the increased number of O-rings inside the water block. This feature prevents coolant from seeping between the micro-spaces of the acrylic top and the copper cold plate. The result is a focused coolant flow that ensures coolant is following its predicted path, including the microfins, resulting in improved cooling performance.
The new high-performance thermal pads have shown excellent results in thermal conductivity and squishiness, which is equally essential for good thermal transfer and ease of use during installation. They are pre-cut width-wise, significantly reducing the effort of installing them on your GPU, as they only require cutting in one dimension. This also minimizes the likelihood of users not cutting them properly, thus avoiding overhangs that could lead to poor contact between the GPU water block and the GPU.
The well-recognized and unique stand-out piece is now smaller and more seamlessly integrated into the water block to increase compatibility by reducing the length of the GPU enclosure by 19mm.
Engineered for efficiency and reliability, the EK-Loop Thermal Paste NGP features very low thermal impedance, ensuring effective heat conductivity and enhanced system performance. Its optimized formula offers excellent crumpling resistance and long-term stability.
This ultimate cooling set consists of a high-performance GPU water block and the latest generation of Active Backplate cooling solutions as a single enclosure. The GPU backside cooling is now provided by a full-blown water block with its own copper cold plate and a full-length acrylic top. The connectivity is also taken to another level with the "Direct Link" terminals that implement a conventional 4-port layout that allows serial and parallel connections from adjacent or opposing sides of the block.
The New Vector² water blocks effortlessly solve the issue of excessive heat generation during high load on the GPU core, voltage regulation module, and GDDR6X VRAM of the ROG Strix and ASUS TUF RTX 4090 graphic cards.
The new look of the next-gen water blocks is dominated by minimalistic straight lines. A 10mm thick copper cold plate and a full-sized backplate water block are used for all Vector² GPU Active Backplate cooling enclosures. For Plexi versions, D-RGB Lighting is now deployed on the longest edge of both the front and backside water blocks for improved fidelity and brightness from every viewing angle. The LED PCB is concealed inside clean aluminum extrusions.
Matrix7 standardizes the dimensions of the products, including the port position and spacing, making liquid cooling loop assembly more intuitive and easier. EK-Quantum Vector² GPU cooling enclosures follow the EK-Matrix7 standard, making them seamlessly integrate with EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plates. This brings compatibility with the EK vertical GPU mount l perfect alignment of ports in both horizontal and vertical positions, meaning less time used for planning of the loop, bending tubes, and the end result will still be an epic build.
The implemented Vector² EVO cooling engine uses a novel 3D machined acrylic insert to improve flow distribution and thermal performance. This new cooling engine is based on an Open Split-Flow design, but the asymmetric shape of the jet insert helps distribute an even flow between the first and last copper fins. The fin structure geometry has been optimized to provide even flow distribution with minimal losses and optimal performances even when used in reversed water flow scenarios. It is also characterized by low hydraulic flow restriction, meaning it can be used with weaker water pumps or pumps running on low-speed settings and still achieve top performance.

Great care was taken to achieve a symmetrical flow domain by utilizing an internal bridge to secondary components. This was done to ensure the cooling of secondary components without sacrificing flow distribution over the GPU core.
Both cold plates of this GPU water block and the active backplate are CNC-machined out of high-quality, pure electrolytic copper, which is then nickel-plated, while its top is CNC-machined out of glass-like cast acrylic. A black-anodized aluminum side cover is included with every active backplate to conceal the entire PCB and create a seamless enclosure.
The Vector² EVO GPU water block and active backplate set features a Direct Link flow solution - a conventional 4-port terminal layout. That allows serial and parallel connections from adjacent or opposing sides of the block. This was made possible by the addition of a machined brass insert in the terminal that diagonally links the water block directly to the active backplate inside the acetal terminal. Direct Link proves invaluable when flexibility is required for the right setup, like in the case of a distribution plate or vertical GPU mount.
Sleek magnetic covers are used to conceal the terminal screws, which allows rotation of the branding when the GPU water block and active backplate enclosure are inverted in the case or being used on a vertical GPU mount.
Addressable D-RGB LED lighting is deployed on the longest edge of both top and backside water blocks for improved uniformity and brightness. The PCB and diodes are concealed inside a clean aluminum extrusion. 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 (Pinout: +5V | Data | Blocked | Ground).
EK’s premium water blocks from the Quantum Vector² product line boast an iF Design Awards for 2022. These prestigious awards signify top-tier design levels delivered by our products to both consumers and the design community. Not only do Vector² water blocks have aesthetically pleasing looks to deserve these awards, but they also bring patent-pending technologies and valuable features to the table.

The HEATKILLER® V eBC backplate is a useful addition for the HEATKILLER® V VGA water blocks. Mounted on the backside of the graphics card, it improves the cooling performance while also granting mechanical stability. This is due to the construction out of massive black anodized aluminum. Even more, it also just looks good.
The backplate cools relevant components on the PCB’s backside, including GPU, RAM, and voltage regulation (VRM). Pre-cut thermal pads are included in the scope of delivery.
Isolating spacers on the backside of the backplate ensure easy installation.
The enclosed mounting material is optimized for usage with HEATKILLER® V water blocks. The backplate can be used with water blocks of other manufacturers. You might need to modify the mounting material, though. This is not part of the delivery scope.
