Thermal pad EK Water Blocks Nickel Silver 1 pc

EK-Quantum Vector² Strix RTX 3080/90 Backplate - Nickel is a CNC-machined, nickel-plated aluminum backplate designed to fit EK-Quantum Vector² Strix RTX 3080/90 water blocks. It spans the full length of the graphics card PCB, providing a finished appearance while aiding passive heat dissipation from the GPU core and the voltage regulation module (VRM).

Advantages

The nickel-plated aluminum construction combines structural rigidity with corrosion resistance. Full-length coverage protects and supports the graphics card PCB and contributes to passive cooling of the GPU and VRM. The backplate is precision CNC-machined for a consistent fit with EK-Quantum Vector² Strix RTX 3080/90 water blocks and adds a uniform metallic finish to the build.

Suitable for

• EK-Quantum Vector² Strix RTX 3080/90 water-cooled graphics cards
• Systems requiring additional passive cooling for GPU core and VRM
• PC builds where a metal backplate is preferred for aesthetics and PCB support

Key specifications

• Material: Nickel-plated aluminum
• Compatibility: EK-Quantum Vector² Strix RTX 3080/90 water blocks
• Coverage: Full-length backplate covering the graphics card PCB
• Manufacturing: CNC-machined

How to use

Install the backplate onto the graphics card after mounting the EK-Quantum Vector² Strix RTX 3080/90 water block, following EK Water Blocks' installation instructions. Align the backplate with the PCB mounting points and secure it using the supplied screws or the original mounting hardware. Ensure all fasteners are tightened evenly to avoid stress on the PCB.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your specific Strix RTX 3080/90 model and follow the manufacturer's torque and installation guidelines. Avoid overtightening screws and inspect contact points periodically for proper fit and corrosion.
