Water Blocks

Upgrade Your Performance with CPU and GPU Waterblocks

Waterblocks are the key component to cooling your hardware. A good block will perform well and look good.

CPU Blocks - This block is the main block in your loop and an area where you should consider spending some money. the overall effectiveness of your watercooling system depends on the capability of this block at transferring heat from the CPU to the liquid. 

• Nearly all water blocks are multi socket compatible and fit Intel and AMD sockets. 
• A CPU Block mounts the same way as most aircooling heatsinks and is often easier to install.
• All CPU blocks come with full mounting instructions to assist you and some higher end blocks come with a small tube of high performance thermal paste.

GPU Blocks - This is a little more advanced as it takes a lot more expertise to disassemble a graphics card. Graphics card blocks work on the same principle as a CPU block but generally cover all of the hot parts of the card. You can get 'full cover' blocks that are specific to the exact card you have, or 'core only' blocks that look a little like the cpu block but only cool the GPU itself, you have to install additional heatsinks for the VRAM and VRMs.

• They all come with full installation instructions and a guide on how to take your stock cooler off. 
• Most graphics cards become a lot more overclockable when they are on water, plus it removes the noisy fan which is a main factor in contribution to overall system noise.
• Graphics cards vary a lot in design and reference design cards are usually not easily available if your card is older. To make sure your card and full cover block are compatible, check the EK Waterblocks Cooling Configurator Site which will allow you to check what blocks fit your hardware.
• Bear in mind that most graphics card manufacturers will class the card as Warranty Void if you remove the stock cooler so do it at your own risk.

Motherboard & Other Blocks - Most motherboard blocks fit to motherboards where the stock heatsink arrays go. They tend to cool the Voltage Regulators and the chipset but can also cool any other heat producing chips on the board. Motherboard blocks really add little in the way of extra performance unless you are aiming for extreme overclocks. A motherboard block is only really required if you want it for aesthetics or if the airflow in your case is very poor. Watercooling a motherboard is generally not a good idea for a novice watercooler. 

You can watercool anything in your loop that produces heat and there is a block made for it, Hard drives and fan controllers can be watercooled.
