Water block EK Water Blocks Aluminium Silver

EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 ABP Side Cover in Silver is an aluminum plate designed to cover the gap between a compatible water block and the active backplate. Finished with natural anodized aluminium, the Silver variant is intended for use together with EK water blocks and active backplates and visually complements EK's Satin Titanium products. The side cover conceals the terminal side of the GPU PCB so that no PCB components remain visible.

Advantages

The side cover is made from anodized aluminum for durability and a consistent finish. It fits exclusively with the matching water block and active backplate to provide a seamless visual transition. By hiding the terminal side of the PCB, it improves the appearance of a liquid-cooled GPU installation without affecting cooling compatibility.

Suitable for

• GPU builds using EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 water blocks
• Setups with EK active backplates for a uniform exterior look
• Showcase or windowed PC cases where PCB concealment is desired

Key specifications

• Material: Anodized aluminium
• Finish: Natural anodized Silver
• Compatibility: Designed for use with EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 water block and EK active backplate
• Function: Covers gap between water block and active backplate; conceals PCB terminal side

How to use

Use the side cover only in combination with the corresponding EK-Quantum Vector² Trio RTX 3080/90 water block and EK active backplate. Align the cover to the terminal side of the PCB between the water block and active backplate and secure it following the mounting instructions provided with the water block and backplate. No additional hardware beyond the supplied mounting parts is typically required.

Recommendations

Install the side cover during initial assembly or when replacing the water block/backplate to ensure a proper fit; avoid forcing the plate into position and confirm compatibility with your specific GPU model.
