EK releases X570 chipset water blocks for Gigabyte Aorus X570 motherboards

One of the major downsides of AMD’s X570 platform is the fact that most X570 motherboards ship with active cooling on their PCH heatsink, a feature that’s unnecessary on most other modern motherboard designs.  

While this chipset fan should be running at low RPMs, or turned off, in most situations, the fan remains as a source of unwanted noise within many X570 systems, so much so that some modders have designed their own replacement heatsinks. Now EK Waterblock has heard the call, and have created its first EK-Quantum Momentum series chipset waterblock, which will arrive first on Gigabyte’s Aorus series motherboards. 

With their new Aorus X570 chipset water block, EK promises superior thermal performance, enhanced longevity (as it contains no moving parts), and can be installed with five screws. This PCH heatsink is an overkill solution to the noise problems that X570’s chipset fans may cause, but when it comes to silence, we know that many PC builders would be more than happy with an extravagant solution to their chipset problems. 

Like EK’s other products, their Aorus X570 chipset water block is made with nickel-plated copper and features a glass-like acrylic top. The block will become available to order on January 22nd and will be available of €39.90.
