EK, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, is launching a special edition direct die water block explicitly engineered for the AMD AM5 socket and delidded Ryzen 7000 CPUs, including the X3D variants. The product deploys a custom-engineered cooling engine optimized only for AM5 direct die cooling. The cold plate contact surface is designed with protruding sections that perfectly match the CPU's chiplets and its I/O die.

The die guard that comes with the CPU requires removing the CPU loading mechanism. It ensures the PCB doesn't bend and makes an electrical connection with the socket pins. The latest water block features EK-Matrix7 compatibility, meaning the product's height and port distance are managed in 7 mm increments. The EK-Quantum Vector² RX 7900 XTX Radeon Edition inspires the new CPU water block design, featuring a black-anodized aluminium frame around the see-through acrylic top.
