EK Velocity 1700 CPU waterblock

[alexkyriak]

Has anyone run an EK 1700 Velocity CPU water block as of yet? Mine just arrived but I won’t be running it for a few days until I get other bits of the build sorted. Will be mounted to a 12900k. It’s pretty bulky, beautiful looking, and heavy as fk (full nickel version). I hope it fits in my motherboard!!

Staring at mine wondering when ram is going to turn up........

This unit has a massive amount of metal mass. Am really curious as to how it performs against the 1150 full nickel magnitude. So much surface area.

I have the Satin Titanium + Nickel version on order. Other than the O11 Evo case it's the last part I need to start building.
Figured the satin version would go better with the white Asus Formula. I'm also hoping the inlet lines up horizontally with the VRM inlet on the motherboard.

This is what I currently have on the cpu:

magnitude 1150 block fitted to the inner set of holes that Asus put on their 1700 boards. Question is, should I take it off to put the EK Velocity 1700 cpu block on.

My Satin + Nickel block has shipped.
Gonna paint the black aluminium bit white to suit my build. I'm assuming the EK logo is just stuck on with adhesive?

Ok so I scratched the itch and fitted the 1700 Velocity nickel block. It’s gorgeous, really crisp, very weighty and ‘cold’ to the touch, really lovely bit of kit and fits so well with the motherboard. Some pics.

Without actually fitting the new 1700 Velocity block yet, based on a 'test' placement it does look as if the inlet lines up horizontally with the inlet for the VRM block on the Z690 formula.
So I'm planning on putting a T Junction where the CPU inlet is so the loop splits. and then reforms with another T Junction after the outlet.
