EK Water Blocks has announced its second complete all-in-one (CPU and motherboard) liquid cooling solution, the one for Intel X79 Express chipset based ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard and 4th generation Intel Core i7 LGA 2011 CPU.

The EK-FB ASUS R4BE Monoblock, as EKWB decided to name it, is a complete AIO liquid cooling solution which means that you get a waterblock from both the ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard as well as the water block for the Intel LGA 2011 socket Ivy Bridge-E CPU.

The water block for the CPU uses EK-Supremacy cooling engine in order to ensure the best possible CPU cooling performance and directly cools the Intel LGA-2011 socket type CPU, Intel X79 Express southbridge as well as the VRM part of the motherboard. Based on a very high-flow design, the EK-FB ASUS R4BE Monoblock can also be used with weaker pump systems.

"After success with the EK-FB ASUS M6I, our first AIO water block for mITX form factor motherboard, we decided to try this approach on a full ATX size motherboard," said Niko Tivadar, EK-FB ASUS R4BE Monoblock main designer and Product Manager of EKWB. "ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard was an obvious choice. R4BE Monoblock provides sleek design with only two in- and out- water ports which greatly improves the functionality and reliability of the unit by removing the need to connect three separate water blocks with akward 90° elbow fitting adapters."

The new EK-FB ASUS R4BE Monoblock will be available in a few versions, with either POM Acetal or acrylic galls material top while the base of the water block will be strictly made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper.

All four different versions of the EK-FB ASUS R4BE are already available at EK Webshop or via EK's Partner Reseller Network with a price set anywhere between €161.95 and €165.95, depending on the version.
