Backplate EK Water Blocks EK-Quantum Vector2 Trio RTX 3080/90 Aluminium Stainless Steel

The EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 Backplate - Nickel is a CNC-machined retention backplate made from nickel-plated aluminum that fits all EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 water blocks. It spans the full length of the graphics card PCB, providing aesthetic coverage while offering passive cooling to the backside of the voltage regulation module (VRM) and the GPU core.

Advantages

This backplate is manufactured from nickel-plated aluminum using CNC machining to ensure precise fitment with EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 water blocks. It covers the entire PCB length and combines visual refinement with passive cooling for VRM and GPU backside components. The retention-style design offers secure mounting and integrates with the corresponding EK water block series.

Suitable for

• Owners of NVIDIA RTX 3080 or RTX 3090 GPUs using EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 water blocks
• Custom liquid-cooled PC builds seeking uniform aesthetics across GPU water blocks
• Users who want passive cooling support for VRM and GPU backside

Key specifications

• Material: Nickel-plated aluminum
• Compatibility: EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 water blocks (fits all models in that series)
• Manufacturing: CNC machined
• Function: Full-length backplate providing aesthetic coverage and passive cooling for VRM and GPU backside

How to use

Install the backplate onto a compatible GPU together with the EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 water block following the manufacturer’s mounting procedure. Ensure correct alignment with the PCB and secure the retention mechanism as described in the EK installation guide. Use the supplied thermal pads or mounting hardware where applicable to ensure contact with VRM and other backside components.

Recommendations

For best results, install this backplate only with the matching EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 water block and follow EK Water Blocks’ installation instructions to ensure proper fit and thermal contact. Avoid modifying the backplate or the GPU PCB, and verify compatibility with your specific GPU model before installation.
