EK has a water block for your Intel 750 Series SSD

[AHaskin14]

Close are the days of a truly "full" water cooled pc.

[Diederik_Gr]

To all the people who say it has no use when they get too hot they slow down.

Only like 5% or so as I've heard, they will still be super sonic fast even with that performance decrease. But if I was doing a ridiculous build, this would probably be included. Whatever is available is the limit, right?

[Stefan1024]

You better start with a waterblock for these NVMe M.2 drives, they overheat all the time in stress tests.

The cooler on the Intel 750 is quite capable even with no airflow at all. My one is usually ~50℃ (add in versio, vertical mounted for better cooling).

Edit: but when sandwiched between two hot GPS it could make sense.

[Alurit]

well watercooling is become more and more like an aesthetic thing anyways, so having an option to watercool every pci-e card is kinda neat and helps achieving a more uniform look

Didn't an NVMe SSD device have serious slowdown from thermal throttling?  Why not make a waterblock for that?

[ThinkWithPortals]

First reaction: Cool!

 

Second reaction: ...but why?

 

Can't think of any performance related reason to do this, but some might buy it just for bragging rights...

Cause waterblocks on an m.2 device literally kills the point of the m.2 device in the first place. (But they could do it, it just might not fit with every or even most motherboard(s))

this is just stupid.

[Misanthrope]

Well I understand gut reaction is "Why?" but if you think about it, the speeds are only going to go up and here's the important part: ultra high performance ssds are usually inside of servers which have extremely good (and also extremely loud) cooling solution on case anyway.

 

As faster and faster SSDs make it to the consumer market, they will eventually surpass passive cooling and even air cooling. Let us not forget that only 10 years ago a GPU cooler looked like this

 

And now it might look like this:

 

So an air cooling solution could have worked sure, but let's face it if you're putting Intel 750s on your right the chances are you're in the market that heavily overlaps with custom water cooling: EK knows this and probably did extensive research before releasing this.

Actually intel came to EKWB and asked if they would make a block for it, not the other way around this time. When the 750 pci-e series gets to hot, it throttles. That is why it has a intel stock look to the block then EKWB usual CSQ look.

[ericlee30]

Crap, double post I hate when that happens.

[thekeemo]

Looks like someone's nerd dream is going to finally come through.

100% watercooled build , now lets have a watercooled psu and ram.

 

But on a serious note, holy shit that's cool.

Makes sense though at the speed and for the density this devices have passive cooling on consumer cases would be problematic

[Bordermick]

But Why?

[TechStyle]

Looks cool

[FPSwithaWacomTablet]

no ssd's cant be overclocked.

You're forgetting that 730 series SSDs from Intel are overclocked S3500/S3700 SSDs. Those SSDs run hot... Speaking from experience due to laptop burns.

I was stupid to put a 730 in a laptop but hey, it runs like a champ.

 

 

 

Adopting the platform from the DC S3500/S3700, the SSD 730 is Intel's first fully in-house designed client drive since the SSD 320. The SSD 730 is not just a rebranded enterprise drive, though, as both the controller and NAND interface are running at higher frequencies for increased peak performance. While the branding suggests that this is an enterprise drive like the SSD 710, Intel is marketing the SSD 730 directly to consumers and the DC S3xxx along with the 900 series remain as Intel's enterprise lineups. And in a nod to enthusiasts, the SSD 730 adopts the Skulltrail logo to further emphasize that we are dealing with some serious hardware here.

some people use external radiators and so if they build in a case with no airflow they need to water cool everything, however this is exceedingly niche

[Kenji the Uke]

3: Do lower temps help out life expectancy?

3: Do lower temps help out life expectancy?

Not by any factor you could measure.

[WolfDeville]

Why are people saying this is unnecessary lol??? Lower temps = more life.

[rcarteraz]

A completely unnecessary product, I love it.

 

I imagine there are a lot who agree lol.

[RexinOridle]

Who else wants to warercool their case?

[iamdarkyoshi]

Who else wants to warercool their case?

my entire case gets really friggin hot

[DildorTheDecent]

EK make the nicest looking blocks. 

 

do want. 

[cesrai]

Neat.
