EK®, the global leader in premium PC water cooling, is proud to introduce extraordinary EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge Special Edition CPU water blocks for the AM5 socket. After the successful launch of their LGA 1700-based counterpart earlier this year, these Special Edition Edge water blocks confirm EK’s commitment to aesthetic excellence.

The top cover is at the forefront of this design revolution, featuring a striking assembly of irregular tetrahedrons that transform each water block into a modern artwork. These tetrahedrons create a captivating interplay of light and shadow, adding a dynamic and sophisticated visual appeal to the water block.

Explicitly designed for platforms based on the AMD® socket AM5, they fit Ryzen™ 7000 series CPUs. The cold plate, precisely machined of the highest-grade 99.99% pure electrolytic copper, ensures unparalleled heat transfer.

The top cover of the EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge D-RGB – AM5 Special Edition is available in Black and Silver. These color options allow enthusiasts to choose a style that best complements their PC build, transforming these water blocks from mere components for efficient cooling into central elements of a PC’s aesthetic identity. The top cover is CNC-milled out of a 30mm thick aluminum sheet, separated from the coolant with a layer of acrylic to ensure no mixing of metals.

EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge D-RGB – AM5 Black Special Edition

The EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge D-RGB – AM5 Black Special Edition exudes sleek elegance, perfect for setups where understated style is paramount. The top cover is adorned with CNC-milled, irregularly shaped tetrahedrons made of black anodized aluminum and features a transparent plexi top, enhancing its sophisticated look.

EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge D-RGB – AM5 Silver Special Edition

The EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge D-RGB – AM5 Silver Special Edition has a bright reflective surface, accentuating the intricate tetrahedron design. The top cover, also adorned with CNC-milled, irregularly shaped tetrahedrons, is made of aluminum with a sleek anodized finish. It features a transparent plexi top, lending it a slightly glossy look.

OptiFlow Cooling Engine

The EK-Quantum Velocity² series uses the OptiFlow cooling engine, designed to optimize performance on specific sockets. This innovative cooling solution combines specific mounting pressure with tailored cold plate geometry, achieving low hydraulic flow restriction. This allows the use of weaker water pumps or lower pump speed settings, ensuring silent operation without compromising performance. The precision-engineered lathe-turned cold plate effectively covers the IHS, focusing pressure on the die area.

EK-ExactMount System

EK-ExactMount is a patented mounting system engineered by EK for an easy-to-use and aesthetically pleasing installation. Due to the sturdy, integrated stock backplate that arrives with AM5 motherboards, the EK-ExactMount technology provides an “invisible” and easy-to-use mounting mechanism, which means the entire mounting system is inside the water block, accounting for a true single-piece product. The backplate is factory-mounted on the motherboard, while the spring-loaded Torx screws are integrated into the water block and are screwed in by counter-clockwise rotation into the stock backplate of the motherboard.

EK-Matrix7 Compliant

Aligned with EK’s philosophy of seamless integration and ease of use, the Velocity² AM5 Special Editions are EK-Matrix7 compliant. The EK-Matrix7 is a revolutionary standard in PC liquid cooling, utilizing a 7mm increment system for product height and port distance. This enhances product alignment and simplifies loop planning and tube bending, transforming PC building into a straightforward process akin to assembling toy bricks.

Velocity²: The Legacy of Excellence and Innovation

EK’s Velocity² product line has garnered significant acclaim, securing five prestigious awards so far. This recognition is a testament to the exceptional performance, innovative design, and bold approach that EK has consistently delivered with its water-cooling solutions. The accolades awarded to the Velocity² products, including the esteemed iF Design Award, European Hardware Awards, and CES 22, among others, underscore the product line’s standing at the forefront of technological advancement and design excellence in PC cooling.

Compatibility

EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge – AM5 series CPU water blocks are socket-specific, compatible with AMD AM5 socket and Ryzen 7000-series CPUs.

EK-Quantum Velocity² D-RGB LED Lighting

Fully compatible with all major motherboard manufacturers’ addressable RGB sync technologies, each CPU water block features a captivating light beam and 30 addressable RGB LEDs. This creates an extraordinary visual effect, especially with the tetrahedron-structured top cover amplifying the RGB display.
