EK-Quantum Momentum² ROG Strix X670E-I D-RGB - Plexi

Details

Compatible with AM5-socketed ROG Strix X670E-I Gaming ITX motherboard.

This water block directly cools the AMD Ryzen 7000-series CPU and the heatsink of the power regulation (MOSFET) module. It doesn't replace the stock heatsink but instead complements it. It connects with the preinstalled heatsink through thermal pads between them and cools the heatsink instead of directly cooling the VRM. 

The main issue with mini-ITX boards' VRM is usually the lack of space to fit a larger heatsink. Even with high-quality VRM, small heatsinks have limited surfaces for thermal dissipation. During EK's testing phase, this monoblock lowered the temperature of the VRM by more than 20°C on an open test bench. Inside a case, and especially in a small form factor (SFF) case, where other components raise the ambient temperature, users can expect even more significant improvements in thermals when using this Momentum² monoblock.

This monoblock uses the latest generation of EK-Quantum Velocity² cooling engine to ensure the best possible CPU cooling while not reducing flow to other components. The cooling engine uses a specific combination of mounting pressure and coldplate geometry tailored for the IHS and die layout of AM5 socket processors. It provides cooling for the heatsink of the voltage regulation module and Ryzen 7000-series CPU.

 

Unlike other solutions on the market, this is a true one-piece, sturdy, and reliable liquid cooling product that requires only two connector fittings for proper operation. For the CPU, please use the enclosed (electrically non-conductive) thermal grease EK-TIM Ectotherm.

The base of the monoblock is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper, while the top is made of quality cast acrylic material. The nickel-plated brass screw-in standoffs are pre-installed and allow for easy installation. 

The Quantum Momentum² monoblock also comes with sophisticated D-RGB (addressable) lighting with a total of 18 LEDs. They connect to a standard 3-pin 5V D-RGB addressable header. This product is compatible with ASUS AURA Sync control software. The arrow marking on the 3-pin LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the addressable D-RGB LED header called the Aura Gen2.
