Backplate EK Water Blocks

EK-Quantum Vector FTW3 RTX 3070 Backplate - Black is a CNC-machined retention backplate made from black anodized aluminum, designed to fit EK-Quantum Vector FTW3 RTX 3070 water blocks. It spans the full length of the graphics card PCB, improving the card’s appearance while providing passive cooling to the backside of the voltage regulation module (VRM) and the GPU core.

Advantages

The aluminum construction with black anodized finish offers durability and a uniform look that complements existing EK components. The backplate covers the entire PCB length for consistent protection and contributes passive heat dissipation for VRM and GPU areas. It is delivered with a mounting mechanism and thermal pads to simplify installation.

Suitable for

• EK-Quantum Vector FTW3 RTX 3070 water-cooled graphics cards
• PC builds where improved GPU aesthetics are desired
• Systems that benefit from additional passive cooling on the GPU backside and VRM
