EK Launches Full-Metal Water Blocks for ASUS’ ROG Dominus Mainboard and Intel’s Xeon W-3175X CPU

It is hard to deny that Intel’s Xeon W-3175X processor is the best processors available to consumers, especially when it’s overclocked. Yes, AMD has their 32-core Ryzen Threadripper 2990 WX, but even when overclocked to max clock speeds of 4+GHz are challenging to achieve on all cores. 

In the high-end Intel maintains their edge when it comes to per core clock speeds, cementing them a performance lead in many single-threaded applications, which means that nothing can really match a highly overclocked Xeon W-3175X processor. That said, few people can afford such an elaborate system configuration, given the insane price tags for all components, from the CPU itself to the overclocking-ready LGA 3647 series motherboard to the 6-channel memory that is required to get the best out of the processor. 

If you are already spending so much on your new GPU and motherboard, EK believes that you should also go all-in on overclocking your systems, for which the company has designed and manufactured water blocks that are purpose-built for Intel’s Xeon W-3175X and ASUS’ ROG Dominus motherboard. 

Meet the EK-Velocity WS, a narrow ILM series water block which is made using nickel-plated copper and features an all-metal design. This block also features integrated RGB lighting thanks to the block’s illuminated EK logo, which supports ASUS’ Aura Sync RGB controls.
