EK Expands Its Classic Line With a Strix RTX 3080, 3090 GPU Water Block

EK, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, is ready to offer its Classic design GPU water block for ASUS ROG Strix edition of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards. Minimalistic design with fewer details makes this EK-Classic Line water block more affordable while still offering all the qualities of an EK product, such as high performance, excellent customer support, and a comprehensive installation manual.

An EK Water Block for ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 and 3090 Graphics Cards
The EK-Classic GPU Water Block Strix RTX 3080/3090 D-RGB has a big purpose-designed 126mm wide and 237mm long copper base to cover and cool all key components on the GPU printed circuit board. This gives it an advantage on the market of having a clean design, showing off all the cooling liquid, and cooling all the necessary components.

It actively cools the GPU, top-facing VRAM, MOSFETs in the VRM section, PWM controller, and all the chokes, including those in the input power rail. Using a design that is in contact with every single inductor on the PCB minimizes the chances of any potential coil whine.
