EK releases an X399 Threadripper Monoblock for MSI motherboards

EK has officially released a new Monoblock water cooling solution for MSI’s X399 motherboard designs. This new block design cools both the CPU and VRM areas of supported motherboards, providing optimal thermal performance when integrated into your system’s water cooling loop. 

Like all other new EK X399 monoblocks, the EK-FB MSI X399 Gaming RGB Monoblock will come with the company’s redesigned X399 CPU block, which is designed to offer users a top-class cooling experience. This block design supports both so MSI’s X399 motherboard offerings, the X399 Gaming Pro Carbon and the X399 SLI Plus, with MSI working in conjunction with MSI to create an optimal CPU/mainboard cooling solution. 

EK’s new Threadripper water block design offers a larger surface area of thermal transfer, covering a larger area of Threadripper’s IHS, allowing Threadripper CPUs to more efficiently transfer heat to the user’s liquid cooling loop, allowing the processor to run cooler under load.

Like other EK Monoblock designs, the company has integrated RGB lighting into the unit’s acrylic glass top, sitting at the edge of the block under the black Threadripper labelled section. This RGB LED strip supports standard 4-pin motherboard LED headers, though this strip can be replaced by users if they use a different RGB LED strip type elsewhere in their systems. 

This water block is now available from the EK web store for €125.95, with availability with partnered retailers being expected within the next few days or weeks.
