EKWB Launches Classic Liquid Cooling Line

[The Benjamins]

Quote

EK®, the leading premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, announces the global launch of their new Classic Product Line. It includes an NVIDIA® RTX 2000 series GPU block, CPU blocks for both the most popular AMD® and Intel® platforms, and a pump-reservoir combo unit. Whether you only care about cooling performance, or just prefer the clean and timeless design of EK, the Classic Line will fulfill all your needs.

 

EK Classic is the old Supremacy design but done in the most simplest way possible to drive the price to as low as it can go while maintaining performance. It will be a great way for people to get into Copper Custom loops that look good, preform great but with out breaking the bank. All have RGB which at its price point is impressive.

I wonder how much of a temperature difference their will be compared to the conventional variants.

The cooling engine design is the same as the Old Supremacy line, so compared to that it should be the same.

So it's a rebrand?

depends on what you mean?

 

The cooling engine is the same as the old supermacy design but the blocks and pump is a new design to cut cost down.

What if...

Spoiler

I used mineral oil instead of water

Your rubber seals could fail, tubes will get hard, will have a slower flow rate.

Other then that it will be fine

Now I have a reason to try a custom loop in the future.

Looks like theyre trying to sell out the old Supremacy in exchange for the newer Velocity? But even then, only 2080ti models of GPU blocks are available....

I found this odd too.  This "lower cost" option seems like a great way to water cool the lower end cards.

they should of did the other RTX cards, but they don't make blocks for old cards, because their demand is low.

oh cool

[AnonymousGuy]

$70 is a bit high for that CPU block.  It's a design that goes back to something like 2011 so you can find similar performance at a much lower cost today.

It just looks all the same tho

EKWB's corporate ego won't let them go anywhere near the $50 mark for any of their stuff. Even the fucking fittings are $35

[Trik'Stari]

As someone who likes RGB for the ability to choose a single color that isn't red, green, or blue (those being the most popular set colors), I ask:

 

Why not make RGB-less models that are $10 cheaper each?

[williamcll]

The 2080 Ti block would work with the Titan RTX right?

[Carclis]

Of all cards to launch these on we're seeing "low cost" blocks release on the 2080ti. Not sure I understand the thought process there, unless sales have tanked massively from the RTX launch.
