Water block EK Water Blocks Aluminium Silver

The EK-Quantum Vector² FTW3 RTX 3080/90 ABP Side Cover - Silver is a metal plate that fills the gap between the graphics card water block and the active backplate. Machined from aluminium with a natural anodized finish, it is designed to be used only together with the compatible EK water block and active backplate. The silver surface is intended to visually match EK's Satin Titanium components.

Advantages

The aluminium construction provides lightweight durability and a corrosion-resistant anodized surface. The precision fit closes the visual and physical gap between the water block and active backplate for a tidy appearance and consistent alignment. The silver finish integrates with other EK Satin Titanium parts for a uniform system look.

• EK-Quantum Vector² FTW3 RTX 3080/90 water block and matching active backplate combinations
• Custom liquid-cooled NVIDIA RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 GPU builds
• PC builders seeking a clean, factory-aligned appearance between block and backplate

How to use

Install the side cover only in combination with the matching EK water block and active backplate according to the manufacturer’s assembly instructions. Align the cover to close the gap between the block and backplate and secure it using the mounting hardware supplied with the water block/backplate assembly. Do not attempt to use the side cover as a standalone cooling component.

Recommendations

Use the side cover with compatible EK components only; ensure all parts are correctly aligned and mounted to prevent contact with other PCB elements. Clean with a soft, dry cloth and avoid aggressive chemicals to preserve the anodized finish.
