EK Water Blocks has shown their upcoming ASUS ROG Strix Z270I Gaming monoblock that will take care of both motherboard VRM and CPU water cooling thanks to a huge single water block.
Since the ASUS ROG Strix Z270I Gaming is the only high-end Z270 mini-ITX motherboard from ASUS, it’s quite predictable that this motherboard could become part of water cooling projects. The EK-FB ASUS Z270I Strix RGB Monoblock is compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, allowing you to create great looking setups thanks to customizable lighting.
EK’s latest monoblock comes with only one inlet and one outlet helping to keep your loop clean. If you were to cool your setup with a separate block for the CPU and the VRM that would mean you’d have twice the number of connectors and more tubes ending in a less clean build. The base of the monoblock is made from nickel-plated electrolytic copper, while the top is available in acrylic glass.
The monoblock is equipped with a 4-pin RGB LED strip that can be connected to the motherboard’s 4-pin LED header or it can be connected to any other 4-pin LED controller. The LED strip cover is easy to adjust as the cable can be exchanged. This new monoblock has been designed in cooperation with ASUS and features the EK-Supremacy EVO water block, sitting on top of the CPU.
The EK Water Blocks EK-FB ASUS Z270I Strix RGB Monoblock should already be available via the EK Webshop and also at the official reselling partners. The price of the EK-FB ASUS Z270I Strix RGB Monoblock Nickel is set to 119.95€.
