GIGABYTE Z170X-Gaming 7 Unboxing Video


  • Designed and engineered in co-operation with EK Water Blocks, this monoblock uses award winning EK-Supremacy EVO cooling engine to ensure best possible CPU cooling. This water block directly cools Intel LGA-1151 socket type CPU and power regulation (MOSFET) module as water flows directly over all critical areas. It is a very high flow water block that can be easily used with the system using weaker water pumps.

    Base of the monoblock is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper while the top is made of quality acrylic glass material. The nickel plated brass screw-in standoffs are pre-installed and allow for easy installation. Unlike other solution on the market, this is a true one-piece, sturdy and reliable liquid cooling product which requires only two connector fittings for proper operation (not enclosed).

    EK-TIM Ectotherm, best in-class thermal compound (electrically non-conductive) is enclosed. High quality thermal pads are used on voltage regulator modules to improve cooling performance of the monoblock and ensure you the best possible overclocking and thermal performance.
