EKWB has collaborated with AMD for a new line-up of Ryzen and Radeon specific watercooling components. This includes a Ryzen-themed CPU waterblock, an AIO unit, AMD-themed Vardar fans, and new EK-Quantum Vector blocks for the Radeon RX 6000 series.
The star of the show here is the EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 D-RGB – Special Edition. This GPU block comes with a screw-less black acetal top with side slopes similar to the reference card shroud and the Radeon logo illuminated by D-RGB LEDs. The waterblock was designed to efficiently cool the GPU core, VRAM, and VRM MOSFETs, as well as the inductors to prevent coil whine. There's also grey anodised backplate that helps to cool the graphics card passively.
The Ryzen CPU waterblock is the EK-Quantum Velocity D-RGB – Special Edition, which has been optimised for the processors' chiplet layout. The wider jet plate increases the precision of the coolant flow to the CPU die without sacrificing the waterblock performance. The 6mm thick aluminium mounting plate, the D-RGB LEDs around the water block, the black standoff screws, and the titanium coloured thumb nuts combine perfectly to give the water block a sleek look worthy of showcasing.

If you intend to create a full custom loop with a Ryzen 5000 processor and a Radeon RX 6000 GPU, you can consider the EK-Quantum Power Kit RX 6800/6900 D-RGB P360 – Special Edition. This kit features the Velocity CPU and Vector GPU blocks, AMD-themed Vardar fans, a 360mm CoolStream PE radiator, angled adapter and Torque fittings, a custom-made FLT 120 D5 combo unit with the AMD logo. You also get matte black tubing and a bottle of clear and red coolant.
If a full custom loop isn't to your liking, then there is also the EK-Quantum Reaction AIO cooler for Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards. This AIO comes with 2x AMD-themed Vardar fans, custom-assembled fittings, and a 240mm radiator with AMD's logo on the side. The whole AIO is made using “custom loop liquid cooling grade products”, including the SPC-style pump located in the radiator.
Finally, EK has also launched the EK-Quantum Vector waterblocks for the Radeon RX 6000 series cards. These blocks will be available in Copper + Plexi/Acetal and Nickel Plexi/Acetal with black and nickel-plated backplates.
All these products are now available for pre-order from the EK web store.
