Zijdeksel EK Water Blocks Quantum Vector2 XC3 RTX 3080/90 metaal zilver

EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080/90 ABP Side Cover in Silver is an anodized aluminum metal plate that covers the gap between the water block and the active backplate on compatible graphics cards. Designed to be used together with the water block and active backplate, the side cover conceals the terminal side of the PCB so that no part of the circuit board is visible. The Silver finish is matched to EK's Satin Titanium series for a coherent appearance.

Advantages

The side cover is made from lightweight, durable aluminum with a natural anodized surface that resists corrosion and wear. It provides a clean, uniform look by hiding exposed PCB components and complements EK Satin Titanium products. Its fixed dimensions ensure compatibility and a precise fit when installed with the corresponding water block and active backplate.

• Custom water-cooled builds using EK Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080/90 water block and active backplate
