It is made to complement the existing EK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080\/3090 water blocks and actively cool the backside of a reference design NVIDIA ® GeForce RTXâ?¢ 3080 and 3090 GPU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a precise compatibility match of this water block, we recommend you refer to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ekwb.com\/configurator\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEK Cooling Configurator\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/9688\/6743\/files\/EK-EK-QV-RE-RTX-3080-3090-ACTIVE-BP-D-RGB_detail.jpg?v=1732017688\" alt=\"width=900\" height=\"350\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080\/3090 Active Backplate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080\/3090 active backplate links the water block and the active backplate part with a new terminal, which replaces the stock terminal coming with your water block. This way the whole enclosure requires only one inlet and one outlet, removing any unneeded additional tubing and reducing clutter. It is the ultimate aesthetic and performance solution that finds your GPU sandwiched between two water blocks allowing maximum cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/9688\/6743\/files\/EK-QV-RE-RTX-3080-3090-ACTIVE-BP-D-RGB_detail2.jpg?v=1732017691\" alt=\"width=900\" height=\"350\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vector Active Backplate directly cools the PCB hotspots that are found on the backside of the GPU core and the VRM (voltage regulation module). On the RX 3090, the VRAM located on the backside is cooled, while the RTX 3080 gets cooling for the PCB located around the front-mounted VRAM. Cooling liquid is channeled over all these critical areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese newly developed active backplates feature a fin array with 6 wide channels allowing for very low flow restriction. This in turn allows overall lower temperatures, while the active backplate gets more than sufficient surface area for heat transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/9688\/6743\/files\/EK-QV-RE-RTX-3080-3090-ACTIVE-BP-D-RGB_detail3.jpg?v=1732017693\" alt=\"width=900\" height=\"350\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base of the active backplate is CNC-machined out of nickel-plated electrolytic copper, while its top is CNC-machined out of glass-like cast Acrylic. The rest of the backplate is made of nickel-plated aluminum and it does not come in contact with the liquid. These Vector Active Backplates also feature acrylic terminals that match the top cover. The watertight sealing is ensured by high-quality EPDM O-rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eD-RGB lighting on EK-Quantum Vector RE RTX 3080\/3090 Active Backplate D-RGB water block\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/9688\/6743\/files\/RGB_Compatibility_ALL_2_927c5024-26cf-4340-b7d9-ce0df6e64386.jpg?v=1732017695\" alt=\"Adressable\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aesthetic end-piece is housing the addressable D-RGB LED strip.
