EK Water Blocks, the Slovenia-based premium computer liquid cooling gear manufacturer is proving its market leadership once again by releasing the first ever AM4 socket based monoblock tailor made for the ASUS® ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard. The EK-FB ASUS C6H RGB Monoblock has an integrated 4-pin RGB LED strip which makes it compatible with ASUS® Aura Sync, thus offering a full lighting customization experience!

They are kicking things off with the Asus Crosshair VI monoblock. Which for me is just fine, since i have my eye on that board and will be purchasing this block when i get my components. 

 

Features:

CPU and power delivery cooling in one waterblock

RGB LED strip compatible with ASUS Aura (can be replaced/removed)

Nickel-plated copper cold plate

Acrylic glass top

the footprint on the motherboard is the same. At least judging from the pictures on the EK site.

they don't have a controller box, it is just a analog RGB cable for a LED strip. that would require some circuitry.

eh i guess thats fair enough, but its kinda meh considering the z270 platform got that sweet tapedeck. maybe they'll release a higher end version that has those features.

How dare you ask for useful things, when you can have flashy colored lights? Man, what's happening with your priorities!?
