The Ultimate GPU Cooling Enclosure
This ultimate cooling set consists of a high-performance GPU water block and the latest generation of Active Backplate cooling solutions as a single enclosure. The GPU backside cooling is now provided by a full-blown water block with its own copper cold plate and a full-length acrylic top. The connectivity is also taken to another level with the "Direct Link" terminals that implement a conventional 4-port layout that allows serial and parallel connections from adjacent or opposing sides of the block.
The New Vector² water blocks effortlessly solve the issue of excessive heat generation, during high load, on both the GPU core, voltage regulation module, and the GDDR6X VRAM of the Founders Edition RTX 4090 graphic cards.
Technical and Visual Master Piece
The new look of the next-gen water blocks is dominated by minimalistic straight lines. An 11mm thick copper cold plate and a full-sized backplate water block are used for all Vector² GPU Active Backplate cooling enclosures. The Acetal version of the Vector² GPU water blocks are all black and stealthy but are still equipped with a sophisticated Addressable RGB light guide that goes around the entire water block, making an elegant visual effect even on the backside.
EK-Matrix7 Support
Matrix7 standardizes the dimensions of the products, including the port position and spacing, making liquid cooling loop assembly more intuitive and easier. EK-Quantum Vector² GPU cooling enclosures follow the EK-Matrix7 standard, making them seamlessly integrate with the upcoming 2nd generation of EK Reflection distribution plates. This brings compatibility with the EK vertical GPU mount l perfect alignment of ports in both horizontal and vertical positions, meaning less time used for planning of the loop, bending tubes, and the end result will still be an epic build.

EK-Quantum Vector² FE RTX 4090 ABP Set D-RGB - Nickel + Acetal
The EK-Quantum Vector² FE RTX 4090 ABP Set D-RGB - Nickel + Acetal GPU water block enclosure is compatible with Founders Edition RTX 4090 graphics cards. The Vector² water block actively cools the GPU, VRAM, and power stages, as well as the PCB hotspots that are found on the backside of the GPU core, VRAM, and the VRM (voltage regulation module). Cooling liquid is channeled over all these critical areas.
The implemented 3rd-generation Vector cooling engine uses a novel 3D machined acrylic insert to improve flow distribution and thermal performance. This new cooling engine is based on an Open Split-Flow design, but the asymmetric shape of the jet insert helps distribute an even flow between the first and last copper fins. The fin structure geometry has been optimized to provide even flow distribution with minimal losses and optimal performances even when used in reversed water flow scenarios. It is also characterized by low hydraulic flow restriction, meaning it can be used with weaker water pumps or pumps running on low-speed settings and still achieve top performance.
Great care was taken to achieve a symmetrical flow domain by utilizing an internal bridge to secondary components. This was done to ensure the cooling of secondary components without sacrificing flow distribution over the GPU core.
All Vector² GPU water blocks use a thick 11mm copper coldplate with an acetal terminal attached directly to it to create a robust assembly. A single o-ring design is used to create a seal between the cold plate and the water block top, reducing the number of failure points. This also means that you have seen the end of stainless steel bridge plates that were utilized on GPU water blocks before. This simple construction provides confidence during customization and maintenance.
Both cold plates of this GPU water block and the active backplate are CNC-machined out of high-quality, pure electrolytic copper which is then nickel-plated, while their tops are CNC-machined out of durable black Acetal. A black-anodized aluminum side cover is included with every active backplate to conceal the entire PCB and create a seamless enclosure.
Direct Link Terminal
These new Vector² GPU water block and active backplate sets feature a Direct Link flow solution - the first multiple block solution to implement a conventional 4-port terminal layout. That allows serial and parallel connections from adjacent or opposing sides of the block. It was made possible by the addition of a machined brass insert in the terminal itself that diagonally links the water block directly to the active backplate inside the acetal terminal. Direct Link proves invaluable when flexibility is required for the right setup, like in a case of a distribution plate or vertical GPU mount.
Rotatable Magnetic Covers
Sleek magnetic covers are used to conceal the terminal screws, which allows rotating the branding when the GPU water block and active backplate enclosure are inverted in the case or being used on a vertical GPU mount.
Addressable D-RGB Compatibility
A dense D-RGB LED strip illuminates the parting line of the stand-out element on both sides of the block. This subtle effect allows vivid displays of color while the block remains entirely black. The individually addressable RGB LED is compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers. The arrow marking on the 3-pin D-RGB LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the D-RGB (addressable) header (Pinout: +5V | Data | Blocked | Ground).

Been using this a few days now, ran benchmarks and some random gaming, the card hasn't got above 50c, hotspot around 60c, really happy with results as the 4090 is a power hungry card (not as much as the 3090ti), as usual excellent service from Overclockers, recommended
