EK 690 Full Cover Waterblock - Nickel Acetal @ £119.94 inc VAT

EK-FC690 GTX is a high performance full-cover water block for nVidia reference design GeForce GTX 690 series graphics card. Please check our Cooling Configurator online compatibility system for detailed compatibility list!

This water block directly cools the GPU, RAM as well as VRM (voltage regulation module) as water flows directly over these critical areas thus allowing the graphics card and it's VRM to remain stable under high overclocks. EK-FC690 GTX water block also features a very high flow design therefore it can be easily used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps.

Base is made of nickel plated electrolytic copper while the top is made of quality POM Acetal material. The sealing is performed by quality rubber washers. Screw-in brass standoffs are pre-installed and allow for safe, painless installation procedure. Block is mounted with enclosed M3x4 DIN7985 screws.

EKWB recommends the purchase of aesthetic retention backplate (EK-FC690 GTX Backplate - Black) which improves the looks of your graphics cards and also provide some passive cooling to the VRM section.

Any G1/4" threaded opening can be used as inlet or outlet.

Up to four EK-FC690 GTX series water blocks can be interconnected with EK-FC Bridge & Link system. The EK-FC Link is already enclosed.

Enclosed:
- EK-FC690 GTX series water block
- mounting mechanism with screw-in brass standoffs
- thermal pads
- link

Please note: Thermal paste is not included and needs to be purchased separately. EKWB recommends Gelid GC-Extreme for best performance. Torx T6 screwdriver needed for dissasembly of the factory heatsink/fan solution is also not included.

Made in Slovenia - Europe!

It would appear the 670 block doesn't cool the VRM's, any reasoning behind this? iirc the ref cooler features a heatsink on the VRM's.

 

[GoogalyMoogaly]

Will you be getting the copper versions of these blocks in stock?

 

[Red Alert]

The new plexi covers do look terrible don't they

 

[Nerusy]

I went from hating them to liking them in 2 days...very strange.

Finding this pretty strange too, might as well buy a Universal gpu block.

 

[Cleeecooo]

this, no point going full cover if it's the same size as the universal block and doesn't cool anything else AND is more expensive

That's a bit strange?

Bit of a deal killer if this is right surely?

 

[pgi947]

My thoughts exactly, it does cool the memory, but even then the ref coolers on the 670's don't touch the memory.

Universal block, leave the VRM sink on, sort out a little airflow, problem solved at less cost?

Little baffled by EK's decision tbh.

Am I right in thinking the VRMs are under the heatsink in the second picture?
If so it looks like it will cool them, just not the capacitors next to it.

That's exactly what i did as I was to impatient to wait for the full cover block (and thought it would look good matching the Raystorm CPU block).

Glad I did now.

Maybe we're missing something and the VRM's are cooled?

Can't see how though.

 

[pgi947]

You may be spot on with that!

Any pictures of the plexi block installed to confirm?

This may suggest it WILL cover the VRM's.

That makes more sense.

they are out of stock at the moment so I cant order them.
no point putting them up for pre order and making customers wait longer.

guys, look at the block again. it has a gap in the middle for where the caps stick up. then it has a cooling plate that runs where the vrms are.

this is a full cover block. make no mistake.

 

[maddy2012]

Just a quicky regarding the backplates you can buy, will the new CSQ, or any other ref gtx680 backplate for that matter, be compatible with the old EK 680 block?

Thanks for clearing this up!

It is indeed, took a longer look and the gap is for the caps. Looking forward to seeing these on a card in a case, see if that small PCB looks as out of place with a FC block on it. Think a pair of 670's, small PCB on something like the Gene mATX would look great.

The heatkiller FC block for the 670 looks quite nice too

 

[psychas]

whats with the circles , looks bit strange

it should with the mounting holes being the same.
i would contact EK directly and see if they can give you an answer.

Thanks for clearing this up!

that's what I'm here for

Think a pair of 670's, small PCB on something like the Gene mATX would look great.

without a doubt. we will be doing a tech labs one once stock lands. i cant wait to test fit one to a card

 

[jeff6475]

will you be stocking the 7870 blocks ?
