Backplate EK Water Blocks hliník nikel

EK-Quantum Vector Xtreme RTX 3080/3090 Backplate - Nickel is a CNC-machined retention backplate made from nickel-plated aluminium, designed to fit all EK-Quantum Vector Xtreme RTX 3080/3090 water blocks. The backplate spans the full length of the graphics card PCB, combining a clean aesthetic finish with passive cooling for the backside of the voltage regulation module (VRM), the GPU core area, and the rear-mounted VRAM on RTX 3090 cards. The package includes the nickel backplate, a mounting mechanism (with backplate screws stored in a separate compartment), and thermal pads.

Advantages

The aluminium construction with a nickel finish provides durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining a low weight. CNC machining ensures precise fitment to EK-Quantum Vector Xtreme RTX 3080/3090 water blocks. By covering the entire PCB length the backplate adds an integrated look to liquid-cooled GPU builds and contributes to passive heat dissipation for VRM, GPU core vicinity, and rear VRAM on compatible cards.

Suitable for

• Owners of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 graphics cards using EK-Quantum Vector Xtreme water blocks
• Custom liquid cooling PC builds requiring a full-length GPU backplate
• Users seeking improved passive cooling and a uniform aesthetic for the GPU PCB

Key specifications

• Compatibility: EK-Quantum Vector Xtreme RTX 3080/3090 water blocks
• Material: Aluminium with nickel plating
• Manufacturing: CNC machined
• Included items: Backplate, mounting mechanism (screws in separate compartment), thermal pads

How to use

Install the backplate onto the graphics card after mounting the compatible EK-Quantum Vector Xtreme RTX 3080/3090 water block according to the water block’s installation instructions. Align the backplate with the PCB and mounting points, place the supplied thermal pads where needed, and secure the backplate using the provided mounting mechanism and screws (screws located in a separate compartment in the package). Verify that all fasteners are snug but not over-torqued to avoid damaging PCB components.

Recommendations

Use the backplate only with the specified EK-Quantum Vector Xtreme RTX 3080/3090 water blocks to ensure correct fit. Apply the enclosed thermal pads as instructed and check clearance inside your case before final installation. Avoid overtightening screws and follow static-handling precautions when working with the GPU.
