Vesiblokki EK Water Blocks EK-Quantum Magnitude 1700 kupari nikkeli musta

The EK-Quantum Magnitude 1700 is a high-performance CPU water block engineered for Intel 12th Generation Core processors on the LGA 1700 socket. It combines a nickel-plated copper cold plate and a CNC-machined brass top and insert to offer enhanced thermal transfer with minimized flow restriction while keeping a compact footprint compatible with small motherboards.

Advantages

The product uses a CNC-machined solid brass insert and a nickel-plated copper cold plate featuring 0.40 mm microchannels and 0.26 mm microfins, increasing the fin array surface area by 50% compared to previous generations. The insert and cold plate geometry are tailored specifically for the 1700 socket to direct coolant evenly over the CPU die. The reversible insert allows swapping inlet and outlet ports by rotating the brass piece 180°. The aesthetic inner frame is machined from a single brass piece and nickel-plated, with optional color-anodized aluminum frames or a white POM acetal frame (sold separately) for D-RGB light diffusion. All structural parts are CNC machined from solid stock to ensure precise fit and finish.

Suitable for

• Custom liquid-cooled desktop PCs with Intel 12th Gen (LGA 1700) CPUs
• Small form-factor builds where compact compatibility is required (including mITX)
• Enthusiast or professional users seeking high thermal performance with low flow restriction

Key specifications

• Compatible socket: LGA 1700 (Intel 12th Gen Core)
• Cold plate material: Nickel-plated copper
• Top / insert material: CNC-machined brass (satin silver finish on this version)
• Microchannel width: 0.40 mm
• Microfin thickness: 0.26 mm
• Fin array: 50% larger surface area vs previous generations
• Reversible brass insert for inlet/outlet swap
• Included accessories: mounting mechanism with springs, screws, washers; stock jet plate (pre-installed) 0.6C; Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut 1.0 g thermal paste

How to use

Install the EK-Quantum Magnitude 1700 following the motherboard and CPU manufacturer instructions and the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the CPU IHS and cold plate surfaces are clean before applying the included Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut paste. Fit the block onto the LGA 1700 socket using the supplied mounting mechanism and tighten screws evenly to the recommended mounting pressure. Connect inlet and outlet fittings to the desired tubing; if alternative tube routing is needed, rotate the brass insert 180° to swap inlet and outlet positions. After installation, run a leak test and verify coolant flow before powering the system.

Recommendations

Use compatible fittings (EK-Quantum Torque or similar) and ensure adequate pump flow to minimize pressure drop. Replace thermal paste when re-seating the block. Optional anodized frames or POM light-diffusing frames are available separately to match fittings or integrate D-RGB lighting.
