The EK-Quantum Velocity² D-RGB - 1700 Nickel + Plexi is an outstanding high-end CPU water block, specifically designed for the new Intel platform with LGA 1700 socket. It features an advanced OptiFlow cooling engine that provides optimal performance with low hydraulic flow resistance, making it ideal for quiet systems with weaker water pumps.
The Velocity² series utilizes the innovative OptiFlow cooling engine, which ensures efficient heat dissipation through precisely manufactured cooling plates and optimized geometry. This design perfectly fits the Intel LGA 1700 socket to achieve maximum cooling effect.
Made from high-purity electrolytic copper and nickel-plated, the water block offers exceptional durability and heat transfer. The top is made from CNC-machined acrylic, providing an elegant appearance and high reliability.
The patented EK-Exact Mount system allows for easy installation with pre-tensioned springs for the correct mounting pressure. The backplate and mounting screws are discreetly placed to maintain the aesthetic appearance.
With 14 addressable RGB LEDs under a diffuse area, the Velocity² offers an impressive lighting option, compatible with all leading RGB sync technologies from motherboard manufacturers.

Source: GalaxusYou have to look for innovations, but you can still find them. The fourth best performance score for the oldest cooler, the best for the second oldest - on the one hand, our test confirms that there is hardly any progress left in water coolers. On the other hand, however, the second-best flow/temperature combination comes from the smallest developer, which no-one is likely to have had on their radar...
