EK Water Blocks releases EK-Vector Radeon RX 5700 +XT RGB full-cover waterblocks for the newly released Navi-based AMD Radeon graphics cards, Radeon RX 5700 and Radeon RX 5700 XT. The EK-Vector Radeon RX 5700 +XT offers an elegant and superior cooling engine for the Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT graphics cards. The size of the new Navi GPU cores in RX 5700 and 5700 XT is only 251mm while the 14nm Vega GPUs were 495mm in size, almost double in size. While the Navi GPU is more efficient, the thermal density is increased with the smaller 7nm die size. The EK-Vector Radeon RX 5700 +XT RGB offers a more efficient cooling engine for higher stable overclocks.

EK-Vector Radeon RX 5700 +XT RGB



The EK-Vector Radeon RX 5700 +XT RGB full-cover water block features a redesigned cooling engine with a larger area of coverage compared to previous-generation cooling engine design. The water block delivers direct cooling to the Navi-based GPU, VRM, and GDDR6 memory modules at coolant directly pass over these critical areas.

Available in Nickel + Plexi and Nickel + Acetal variants, the EK-Vector Radeon RX 5700 +XT RGB comes with RGB lighting including the block Terminal. The RGB lighting is fully compatible and synchronizes with all major motherboard-based software including ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion 2.0, and ASRock Polychrome RGB Sync. The waterblock also comes with pre-installed brass standoffs and sealing is guaranteed by high-quality EPDM O-rings. The EK-Vector Radeon RX 5700 +XT RGB waterblock also transforms the two-slot graphics card into a slim single-slot.

Compatibility
The EK-Vector Radeon RX 5700 +XT RGB waterblock is compatible with all reference design Radeon RX 5700 and Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics cards.

EK-Vector RX 5700+ XT backplates
EK-Vector Radeon RX 5700 +XT Backplate is a CNC machined retention backplate made from black anodized aluminium and nickel-plated aluminium for EK-Vector Radeon RX 5700 +XT series water blocks. Backplate covers the whole length of graphics cards PCB, serves as an aesthetic add-on and also provides passive cooling for the backside of the voltage regulation module (VRM). This backplate is guaranteed to be compatible with reference PCB AMD Radeon RX Navi series graphics cards and respective EK blocks.
