Backplate EK Water Blocks Aluminium Black

EK-Quantum Vector FE RTX 3080 Backplate - Black is a CNC-machined retention backplate made from black anodized aluminium for use with the EK-Quantum Vector FE RTX 3080 - Special Edition water block. The backplate covers the rear of the graphics card PCB, adds a refined visual finish and contributes passive cooling for the GPU core area and the VRM section on the PCB. Its ribbed surface increases surface area to improve passive heat dissipation while maintaining a compact design.

Advantages

The aluminium construction provides rigidity and durable protection for the graphics card PCB while the black anodized finish offers corrosion resistance and a uniform appearance. The ribbed design increases passive cooling efficiency for the GPU core and rear VRM area without requiring additional fans. The product includes all necessary mounting hardware and thermal pads for installation.

Suitable for

• EK-Quantum Vector FE RTX 3080 - Special Edition water block users
• Custom liquid-cooled PC builds requiring a backplate for the RTX 3080 Founders Edition
• Users seeking passive additional cooling and PCB protection
