EK Water Blocks have shown their upcoming Gigabyte Z270X-Gaming 7 monoblock that will take care of both motherboard VRM and CPU water cooling thanks to a huge single water block. Since the Gigabyte Z270X-Gaming 7 is a high-end ATX motherboard, it is quite predictable that this motherboard could be part of some water cooling project.


This monoblock design is not only very good looking it also features only one inlet and one outlet for coolant keeping the looks clean. If you were to cool your setup with a separate block for the CPU and the PCH that would mean you’d have twice the number of connectors and more tubes ending in a less clean build.

So far EK Water Blocks has not revealed any details on pricing and availability on their Gigabyte Z270X-Gaming 7 monoblock but additional details will become available during this week. Furthermore EK Water Blocks will introduce similar monoblocks for upcoming high-end AM4 motherboards. Apparently we do like announcements like this since it means that we can expect modders to create nice and good looking builds based on AMD Ryzen.
