EK annuncia il raffreddamento diretto del die per i processori Intel Core di 12a e 13a generazione
EK has prepared a total of four products to start this Direct Die series: two CPU water blocks (one Limited Edition), a delidding tool, and an upgrade kit for existing EK-Quantum Vector² LGA1700 water blocks. Finora, these products are aimed at Intel’s LGA1700 socket and 12th and 13th-generation Intel Core CPUs. Delidding is the process of removing the integrated heatspreader (IHS) to reduce the distance between the CPU core die and the coldplate of the CPU cooler. Another benefit involves the removal of an entire layer of thermal transfer from the CPU die to the IHS. The delidding process enables a direct heat transfer from the CPU core to the water block. All this results in a significant reduction in overall thermals and less thermal difference between CPU cores. The procedure is typically performed by experienced enthusiasts because it involves a physical modification of the product that voids the CPU warranty. For a more in-depth explanation, please refer to this EK’s blog post on delidding.

This limited edition of the Direct Die Velocity² CPU water block has a unique brass top that gets nickel- and subsequently gold-plated. The top of each water block features a specific pattern to distinguish it as a genuine limited-edition product. Only a hundred pieces are being made, each featuring a unique ordinal number from 1 a 100.
This package already includes everything you need to perform the delidding process on your CPU and cool it in a direct die manner.
It contains:
- EK-Quantum Velocity² Direct Die D-RGB – 1700 Limited Edition CPU water block
- Delidding tool for 12th and 13th generation Intel Core CPUs
- EK-Exact Mount and ILM replacement die guard for direct die cooling
- Liquid metal – Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut
- Two foams for preventing liquid metal spillage
The microfin stack surface is reduced and focused toward the center where the CPU die is located. There is no Integrated heatspreader, so heat density will be significantly higher in this location. The base is thicker to further improve cooling and the ability to absorb heat and transfer it to the coolant.
The microfins also go deeper into the coldplate, reaching even closer to the core. The jetplate has a geometry designed to focus on the center of the fin stack with a very high flow rate and even lower restriction than a regular jetplate. A highly compressible foam frame is also added to ensure your liquid metal application doesn’t spread over to surface-mounted components on the CPU and cause a short. A secondary purpose is that it also protects the ILM replacement frame made of anodized aluminium. The ILM frame is insulated toward the motherboard to prevent any shorts. The Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut is included in the package.
The block uses a modified EK-Exact Mount to account for the ILM replacement frame that also acts as a die-guard. The backplate is insulated via both anodization and a polycarbonate sheet from the motherboard components.
The coldplate is manufactured out of the highest-grade 99.99%-pure electrolytic copper, machined with precision for the best possible contact and heat transfer. The coldplate is further nickel-plated, while the top of the water block is made of CNC-machined cast acrylic.
EK-Quantum Velocity² Direct Die D-RGB – 1700 Nichel + plexiglas
From the front, the water block looks like a regular Velocity² CPU LGA 1700, but it shares some of its parts with the Limited Edition Direct Die gold water block.
It contains:
- EK-Quantum Velocity² Direct Die D-RGB – 1700 Nichel + Plexi water block
- EK-Exact Mount and ILM replacement die guard for direct die cooling
- Liquid metal – Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut
- Two foams for preventing liquid metal spillage
It uses the same modified coldplate with the microfin stack reduced in surface that focuses coolant toward the center where the CPU die is located.

EK-Quantum Velocity² IHS Removal Tool – 1700
This is a delidding or IHS removal tool. It allows users to remove the Integrated heatspreader (IHS) from their CPUs and directly cool the CPU die. It is a safe, e una giuria dello staff Capcom selezionerà tre delle nostre voci preferite per vincere questo premio eccezionale, ciascuno con controlli di commutazione indipendenti per garantire la sicurezza dell'utente, and ultimately practical way of removing the IHS. While the IHS and CPU Die look flat to the human eye, the surface is actually very uneven.
Thermal compounds are used to fill the gaps between the CPU and IHS surfaces. But even with high-quality thermal compounds and even solder, it still accounts for an additional layer before reaching the cooler, resulting in reduced cooling efficiency. Additionally, the silicone adhesive that “glues” the IHS to the CPU can make a larger gap between them and further decrease the thermal transfer efficiency.
EK focused on the tool’s safety to prevent users from damaging their valuable 12th and 13th-gen Intel CPUs. Using the tool is basically slotting the CPU into the device, making sure to align the triangle on the CPU with the triangle marker of the tool, and turning the attached screw.
The delidding tool is made of black-anodized aluminium and produced under license from Der8auer.
EK-Quantum Velocity² Direct Die – 1700 Upgrade Kit
This upgrade or conversion kit converts your existing EK-Quantum Velocity² 1700 CPU water block into an LGA1700 direct die cooling product.
It consists of a replacement coldplate, jetplate, a new set of screws, and a black-anodized backplate with an attached ILM Direct Die replacement frame.
EK also has a special product that is not meant for direct die cooling but for regular water blocks. It is a contact frame, o più precisamente, the EK-Quantum Velocity² ILM Replacement – 1700. This product bolsters the structural rigidity of the socket, scheda madre, e persino la CPU. Its primary use is to improve cooling efficiency as the contact area is more suitable and even more pressure is applied to the center where the heat source from the CPU die comes from.
This product has been developed with the famous German overclocker, der8auer.
EK-Matrix7
The EK-Quantum Velocity² is an EK-Matrix7-certified product. EK-Matrix7 è un comodo prodotto raster che aggiunge una nuova dimensione al raffreddamento a liquido del PC, dove incrementi di 7 mm gestiscono l'altezza dei prodotti e la distanza tra le porte. Ciò migliora l'allineamento del prodotto e riduce il tempo impiegato per pianificare l'anello e piegare i tubi. Attraverso la meticolosa progettazione dei nostri prodotti, costruire un PC raffreddato a liquido diventa facile e divertente, proprio come i mattoncini giocattolo.
Compatibilità
The new EK-Quantum Velocity² direct die product series is socket-specific, compatible only with Intel LGA 1700 sockets and Alder and Raptor Lake CPUs.
