Vesiblokki EK Water Blocks EK-FB GA Z170X Ultra

The EK-FB GA Z170X Ultra is a high-performance water block made for Intel Z170 motherboards. It combines a copper base for efficient heat transfer with an acetal and nickel finish to provide durable protection and a precise fit for compatible motherboard layouts. The unit is intended to be integrated into custom liquid-cooling loops to maintain lower CPU temperatures under sustained loads.

Advantages

The monoblock design cools both the CPU and selected motherboard power delivery components through a single integrated cooler, reducing thermal throttling and improving system stability. The copper coldplate ensures effective heat conduction while the acetal top with nickel accents offers corrosion resistance and mechanical robustness. Compatibility with standard G1/4 fittings allows easy integration into existing custom cooling loops.

Suitable for

• Custom liquid-cooled desktop systems based on Intel Z170 motherboards
• High-performance gaming PCs requiring sustained CPU cooling
• Workstations running intensive workloads and overclocked systems

How to use

Install the monoblock directly onto the compatible Intel Z170 motherboard following the manufacturer's mounting instructions and using the included mounting hardware. Connect the water block to your custom loop using G1/4 fittings and appropriate tubing. Ensure proper contact between the copper base and CPU by applying a thin, even layer of thermal paste where required. After installation, pressure-test the loop and check for leaks before powering the system.

Recommendations

Use corrosion-inhibiting coolant and maintain regular loop maintenance. Verify motherboard compatibility by model before purchase and follow EK Water Blocks' official installation guide to ensure correct mounting and optimal thermal performance.
