EK, the premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is now selling each part of EK-Quantum Magnitude, the flagship CPU water block, as a separate item. This enables users to convert their Magnitude CPU water block to another socket, replace a part with an alternative finish, or build an entirely new Magnitude water block for AM4 or LGA 1700 sockets from the ground up, creating their own unique variant. A variety of mounting frames, tops, accents, and even coldplates, are now available for separate purchase.
EK-Quantum Magnitude Frame Upgrade Kit – 1700
EK-Quantum Magnitude Frame Upgrade Kit – 1700 is a replacement/alternative aluminum mounting frame for EK-Quantum Magnitude 1700 CPU water blocks. The mounting frame is a three-dimensional X-shaped aluminum piece that leverages the screws as a design feature, seamlessly blending them into the water block. Strong edges and chamfers root this award-winning icon firmly among the EK-Quantum line. The kit contains all necessary mounting screws, backplate, jetplate, and an LGA 1700 insert. It comes in the Silver and Black variants.
EK-Quantum Magnitude Frame Upgrade Kit – AM4
EK-Quantum Magnitude Frame Upgrade Kit – AM4 Silver is a replacement/alternative aluminum mounting frame for EK-Quantum Magnitude AM4 CPU water blocks. This mounting frame is a three-dimensional H-shaped aluminum piece that uses the screws as a design feature, making them a seamless part of the water block. Strong edges and chamfers root this award-winning icon firmly among the EK-Quantum line. The kit contains all necessary mounting screws, as well as an AM4 insert, and is available in the Silver and Black variants.
EK-Quantum Magnitude Coldplate
EK-Quantum Magnitude Coldplate is a nickel-plated copper coldplate available in either the R2000 or R3000 curvature, in addition to the already available fully flat variant.
The regular Magnitude coldplates are made with specific curvature depending on the socket type. AM4 and 20XX variants of the EK-Quantum Magnitude use the R3000 curvature coldplate by default, while the 115X and 1700 variants use the R2000.
