Water block ek water blocks EK-Quantum Velocity³ for Intel 1700/1851 and AMD AM5 sockets, acrylic top

The EK-Quantum Velocity³ acrylic is a CPU liquid-cooling water block designed for direct cooling of modern processors. Compatible with Intel LGA 1700/1851 and AMD AM5 sockets, this water block features an acrylic top that allows visual customization and integration with RGB lighting. Its internal cold plate and micro-channel design provide improved heat transfer from the CPU to the coolant, enabling lower operating temperatures and reduced fan noise in custom PC liquid-cooling loops.

Advantages

The transparent acrylic top combines appearance and function, enabling visible coolant flow and easy pairing with RGB components without compromising structural integrity. The precision-machined cold plate and optimized coolant channels maximize thermal conductivity while maintaining steady flow characteristics. The universal mounting compatibility for Intel 1700/1851 and AMD AM5 sockets simplifies installation across current CPU platforms. The water block is constructed from corrosion-resistant materials where required for long-term reliability in closed-loop cooling systems.

Suitable for

• Custom PC liquid-cooling loops for gaming and workstation builds
• Overclocked CPU systems requiring efficient heat removal
• Silent or low-noise desktop systems where reduced fan speeds are desired
• Showcase builds with visible coolant and RGB lighting integration

Key specifications

• Compatibility: Intel LGA 1700 and 1851, AMD AM5 sockets
• Top material: acrylic (transparent)
• Cooling type: direct CPU liquid cooling (water block)
• Construction: precision-machined cold plate with micro-channel layout
• Flow characteristic: optimized for balanced flow and heat transfer
• Mounting: bracket-based mounting suitable for supported sockets

How to use

Install the water block onto the CPU according to the motherboard and cooler mounting instructions, using the supplied mounting hardware and appropriate thermal interface material. Connect the inlet and outlet ports to the rest of the custom liquid-cooling loop with compatible tubing and fittings, ensuring correct flow direction and leak-free connections. Fill and bleed the loop with a recommended coolant, run the pump at low speed initially to check for leaks, then monitor temperatures and flow. Periodically inspect fittings and coolant condition as part of routine maintenance.

Recommendations

Use coolant formulations recommended for acrylic components and ensure compatible fittings to avoid stress on the acrylic top. Avoid overtightening mounting hardware to prevent deformation. When planning RGB illumination, confirm clearances and cable routing for an unobstructed view of the acrylic top.
