EK Reveals their Radeon Navi RX 5700 series of Vector water blocks

AMD’s RX 5700 series of graphics cards have arrived, and with them comes a new range of Vector series water blocks from the water cooling boffins over at EK. 

As always, EK is keen to stick their water cooling technology onto the latest and greatest graphics hardware, which means that AMD’s RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT reference models were undoubtedly on the company’s radar. Older Radeon architectures have benefitted from the cooling that water blocks provide, with Vega offering higher clock speeds and increased overclocking headroom when paired with a capable water cooling loop. 

Today, EK has revealed their Navi compatible EK-Vector RX 5700 +XT RGB water block, which supports AMD’s RX 5700/5700 XT reference PCBs and is designed to cool the GPU core, GDDR6 memory and VRM components. This block is offered in clear Acrylic and Black Acetal forms, with EK also offering an anodized aluminium or nickel plated aluminium backplate option for additional passive cooling potential.  

EK has stated that water cooling can enable “10-20% better results” in games or other workloads while overclocking, at least when compared to AMD’s reference cooler.
