EVGA recently launched the iCX cooling solution, and evidently, EK Water Blocks thinks it can do better. The water cooling company launched a pair of full-cover GPU blocks to give EVGA’s FTW2 cards the cooling solution they deserve.
EVGA iCX technology offers sophisticated monitoring systems and advanced cooling features, but that doesn’t matter because it’s still an air cooler. If you want to push your card to the maximum, you probably want your GPU cooled by water.
EKWB is offering the EK-FC1080 GTX FTW2 in two variants. You can get the block with clear acrylic top, which features pre-drilled 3mm holes for LED diodes, or with a black Acetal top. Both options include a nickel-plated electrolytic copper base. EKWB didn’t announce a new backplate to go with the new water blocks, but the company said the existing EK-FC1080 GTX FTW Backplates are compatible with the new FTW2 water blocks.
The EK-FC1080 GTX FTW2 is compatible with 10 different EVGA FTW class graphics cards, including GTX 1080 and 1070 models with ACX 3.0, iCX, and Hybrid cooling solutions.
The EK-FC1080 GTX FTW2 water blocks are available now through the EK Webshop and EKWB’s partner reseller network. EKWB is asking $112 for both variants.
