Just had this combo delivered from you guys for my EVGA RTX 3090 couple weeks ago and gonna set some time this weekend to install it, very helpful video for sure. I love your store and your customer support is S class in business.
Just picked up my first EK waterblock! It was the Vector^2 Strix 3090 ABP set. Your video helped me take the plunge. Thank you, Shane!
This by far is the best tutorial I have seen in a long time about water blocks. I will say, even though I was very careful, after removing all the screws attaching the fans, I did break off a component from the board. Luckily I was able to solder it back on and it works great and looks great too. Just giving a heads up when he said "It will be a little tougher for you to separate." it is! Again great tutorial.
Just did all that was require in the video and looking forward in trying it out tomorrow. Thank you for the great instructions!
Great video. I just recently received an EVGA RTX3090 and that model of EKWB you demonstrated with. I’m building my first ever custom water loop and am researching how to do it right the first time. Thanks for the instruction.
only video I ve found where you're actually showing how to deshroud and install in detail, thanks. Would love a whole video on the whole process as I cant figure out what size tubing and fittings to get
3090ti FE Ek owner here. Works of art. Thank you EK.
One of the best tutorials I’ve seen to date!!!
THANK YOU , great video . Finally clear on how to put it together , great job guys .
Thanks! This was my first vid - there's a lot of footage on the proverbial cutting room floor. :)
Just built my first pc two weeks ago (aio/air-cooled build) and now I think I’m ready to go into water cooling. That thing looks beautiful yet terrifying at the same time lol.
easiest wb i have ever installed
Thanks for this video. I have the same card and water block and this made the removal and install a breeze.
At first I noticed my card was missing a chip and capacitor and thought I broke something. Rewatched the video and saw it came like that.
Great video. I just ordered the same block from you for my 3070ti. Looking forward to installing.
Thank you for making this video this helped me with my own pc. :D
That thing is HUGE!!
love FTW3 and EKWB❤
Best Tutorial! Thank you
Ahhhh! I see. Great vid, thanks!
This thing is a beast.
Yes it is!
fantastic video mate great work
EKWB provides very detailed guide for instalation. To my mind that is the prettyest GPU black.
Thank you for posting this video. Awesomeness hands down. You sir have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work..
Awesome, thank you!
This would be great!!!
I love TR I get all my water cooling hardware from you and it’s the best.
Thanks so much!!
Thanks for the Vid, just got my EK Block in today. This has to be the heaviest block I have ever had, and mine has the standard backplate...lol, but considering what card this is for, can't wait to get it installed.......... 👍👍
I think this is the heaviest GPU block ever made.
Excellent video!
Just got mine for the 3090ti ftw 3 evga card. You guys though were 25 more expensive than the ekwb site, and another online vendor, but you had it in stock ! So I guess a 25 more investment was wort it
We will see when I receive it ;)
The card (for the acetal version) shows 3090 thermal pad layout. 3080 uses thicker pads 2mm rather than 1mm.
Purchased the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 10GB graphics card, along with the EK-Quantum Vector[2] FTW3 RTX 3080/90 D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi. Recently, I purchased the EK-Quantum Vector[2] FTW3 RTX 3080/90 ABP (Active Backplate) D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi, hoping this will solve some of the heat issues that I have experienced with this card.
thanks!!!
Note: always use a cross or star pattern when removing or installing the clips around the chipset. Don't go sequentially around the part that has pressure on it. Especially when installing something that you need to be water tight always go across and perpendicularly to the next fastner
any recommendation to add waterblock support?
God that's huge. Looks like a VCR.
HA! The first thing that came to mind was a loaf of bread but you're absolutely right.
confused about water cooling. would AIB gpu or reference gpu be better. should i first look to see what water blocks are made before buying a gpu so they are compatible??
I have that card and have not hooked it up yet, pending my other P.C. parts. Can somebody tell me how much performance gain there is with this? I sure LOVE the way it looks! Also, do you perform this service? If so, how much to install it? Thank you!
Awesome video! Working on my first build soon. My question is do we also have to buy another back plate separately?
It looks like they also sell a thin peice of blackish metal that I assume goes on the back too?
Amazon has it as
Brand: EKWB
EKWB EK-Quantum Vector Master RX 6800XT/6900XT GPU Backplate, Black
Thanks for the help!
What's the thermal impact? how much more efficient is it than the air cooler?
Nice kit right there. I'm going to order this for my 3080 but my question is, how does the water flow? The previous gen had a one way orientation in Sereal, unless you rotated the terminal, then it's serial flow again in the other direction. So, with the new direct link terminal, what is the flow direction? Parallel maybe? There's not much info on this nor have I found a tear down of the terminal.
Planing a Video about the temps before and after the install?
Will this fit in O11 Dynamic XL horizontally?
Hi. I have FTW3 3090 Ti, and it comes with triple wide or more than double wide IO plate. After I installed the EKWB FTW3 ABP block, I was fine till I tried to install it into the case. It's too wide with that IO plate and EKWB doesn't ship a dual wide plate so it fits on their vertical Gen4 riser in O11D XL, so I'm kind of stuck till I find a dual wide IO plate or take a metal saw to my existing one from EVGA. I noticed you guys sell an AlphaCool dual wide plate for their EISBlocks. Not knowing anything more about that I did order it to see if it works into a solution for me. I could not tell if the holes line up to my 3090ti, but I'm going to try it for the 20.00 dollars it costs.
Thanks. I don't know how to install the card bracket since I removed the metal that has the nut. Mine is MSI GeForce RTX 3090 SUPRIM X. Any help?
hi! I have an ASUS GEFORCE RTX 3080 Ti what EK water block do I need? Thanks
what reservoir/sinc/tubes do you recommend. I noticed on the site it states to be very carful about using different parts.
No lazy susan shot at the end for us to see how it looked! I guess not everyone is Jay's Two Cents!
i wish that i hade one.
Thatnks
Did you ever tighten down the screws for the card to the bottom plate?
Ha!! Yes I did. Our editor cut that part out - as well as the reason I left them loose in the first place. Sometimes you'll run into a screw that doesn't quite line up with its hole and thread in straight and clean. By leaving the screws loose at first you have some space to move things around to get those lined up.
you missed a thermal pad @ 24:00 ?? it looks smaller than it should be
Where does the 3 pin from the block go
Does this card / block fit in an O11-Evo?
24:10 why is the thermal pad on the left side of the GPU die shorter than the one on the right side when the indicator card shows they should be the same length?
There no memory chips on that particular spot, empty.
The indicator card covers a couple of different applications. In this card the memory chips stopped short of the full length indicated on the card.
I'm thinking about pulling the trigger for my Strix 3080 12gb Eva edition, it's twice as much as the Bykski.
I was forced to go with Byski for my 3090 HOF, but I'd have gladly paid more for that nicer looking and better finished EK block.
Nice video. I will be honest, a bit involved. Would be nice to get card with the plates already attached or service to have someone do it for you.
cI never see a Radeon water block video especially the rx Gigabyte 6900xt oc ?
Can I use this tutorial also for the Strix-Version (EK-Quantum Vector² Strix RTX 3080/90 ABP Set D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi)?
Absolutely. There may be some minor differences in how the air cooler is held in place but overall the process is the same.
I need a Radeon RX 7800XT waterblock!
Do these work with the Ti versions of the same cards?
That's a good question! I'll see if I can find out and reply back here
@TITAN RIG: Just Building with this cooler (Strix 3090). One important question: Is it possible to use the inlet and Outlet from only one side? Does anyone know?
@JoeyRKDP thx !
Finished this installation for an XC3 3080 the other day, got it in and it works and has great temps under load. However, under load it also has horrible coil whine. I know it's not actually dangerous to the card but does anyone know if there's something I could do to reduce the whine? Would reseating the blocks or something like that help?
Side note: I ended up using 1 mm pads on some spots on the backplate even though it said to use 2 mm pads all around, because I couldn't get the terminal screw holes to line up until I did so. Could this be contributing to the whine?
I would not use 1mm pads where it calls for 2mm. You might risk not getting good contact and heat transfer. You just need to really push and compress pads/plates together, but whatever you do don't push down on the screw. There's also a chance that a more secure seating of the blocks/plate on the card may actually help with the whine.
@@SnaxanGaming Thank you for posting this, I was finally able to get the terminal screws in! Flipping the card, so the active plate is face down, helps with the compression a lot.
@@fskate2 nice! Glad that worked out!
do they fit the TI models? I am looking for one but none of them says it fits the TI models.
It depends on the Ti model, some do work and some do not. When it doubt check the compatibility list on EK's website www.ekwb.com/configurator/
interesting
Is this where i comment to enter giveaway?

It's so...beautiful...almost makes it worth the money. okay, it does make it worth the money, which I don't have, meaning I'm not worthy.
How much for u to do mine
what kind of loafs of bread do you buy? my loaf of bread is 3x the size of the card lol
how long is it?
328.5mm
@@titanrigpc Thank you.
Omg,pulling that card off the cooler is not fun with carpal tunal
The real issue with water coling a graphics card is matching the GPU to the GPU block. The EK website is garbage because it good at telling you whatever GPU you selected doesn't have a block. In fact I couldn't find a GPU that was not stupid priced that EK offered a block for. Corsair only offers block for 'reference' cards, WTF is a reference card? Good luck finding that list, but EK offers a block for 'reference' which is different from FE but again, good luck finding a list of those cards.
It would be great if manufactures started manufacturing water cooled cards, as in specifically for water cooled and not retrofitted. Same thing with motherboards, with a mono-block you would only need 4-6 phases to power even a 300 watt CPU,. This would reduce costs, increase reliability since there are fewer parts, save space, and improve efficiency when the CPU is not being hammered. All of these also equally apply to GPUs as well.
