Backplate EK Water Blocks Quantum Vector FE RTX 3090 Ti Aluminium Black

EK-Quantum Vector FE RTX 3090 Ti Backplate in black is a CNC-machined retention backplate made from black anodized aluminium for the EK-Quantum Vector FE RTX 3090 Ti - Special Edition water block. It covers the backside of the graphics card PCB, improving aesthetics while providing passive thermal support to the GPU core, rear-mounted VRAM and the PCB VRM area. The backplate’s ribbed design increases surface area for improved passive cooling and makes physical contact with the active part of the water block to enable hybrid cooling.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers rigidity and protection for the PCB while remaining lightweight. Black anodizing resists corrosion and matches the appearance of the EK-Quantum Vector FE RTX 3090 Ti water block. Included mounting screws and pre-cut thermal pads simplify installation and ensure thermal coupling to key components. The ribbed surface increases passive heat dissipation without adding active noise or power draw.

Suitable for

• EK-Quantum Vector FE RTX 3090 Ti - Special Edition water block users
• Systems where improved passive cooling of GPU rear components is desired
• Aesthetic builds requiring a matching black backplate for the RTX 3090 Ti reference PCB

How to use

Remove the graphics card from the system and detach any existing cooler as described by the card manufacturer. Position the backplate onto the rear of the graphics card PCB aligning mounting holes with the water block and PCB standoffs. Apply the supplied thermal pads to the specified contact points on the PCB where indicated. Fasten the backplate using the included screws and torque them evenly to ensure uniform contact. Reinstall the water block or GPU assembly into the system and verify clearances with adjacent components before powering up.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility with your specific RTX 3090 Ti PCB revision and the EK-Quantum Vector FE RTX 3090 Ti - Special Edition water block before installation. Do not overtighten screws; use the supplied hardware and check thermal pad placement to maintain proper thermal contact.
