Backplate EK Water Blocks Aluminium sort

EK-Quantum Vector Strix RX 6800/6900 Backplate - Black is a CNC-machined black anodized aluminium backplate designed to fit all EK-Quantum Vector Strix RX 6800/6900 water blocks. It spans the full length of the graphics card PCB, adds a clean visual finish and provides passive cooling to the backside of the VRM, VRAM and GPU core.

Advantages

The backplate is made from CNC-machined aluminium with black anodizing for durability and a consistent look. It covers the entire PCB length to improve structural rigidity, complements EK-Quantum Vector Strix RX 6800/6900 water blocks aesthetically and helps dissipate heat from the voltage regulation module, memory and GPU core without active components.

Suitable for

• All EK-Quantum Vector Strix RX 6800/6900 water blocks
• Custom liquid-cooled AMD Radeon RX 6800 and RX 6900 graphics card builds
• PC builds where improved rear cooling and a uniform appearance are desired

Key specifications

• Material: CNC-machined aluminium, black anodized
• Compatibility: EK-Quantum Vector Strix RX 6800/6900 water blocks
• Purpose: Full-length backplate for structural support and passive cooling
• Manufacturer: EK Water Blocks (made in Slovenia)
• Included: backplate, mounting mechanism (screws in separate compartment), thermal pads

How to use

Install the backplate onto the graphics card after fitting the corresponding EK-Quantum Vector Strix RX 6800/6900 water block according to the water block installation instructions. Place the supplied thermal pads where indicated on the backplate to ensure thermal contact with the VRM, VRAM and GPU backside. Secure the backplate using the provided mounting mechanism and the screws from the separate compartment, ensuring all fasteners are tightened evenly to avoid PCB stress.

Recommendations

Handle the backplate and graphics card on an anti-static surface and follow the water block manufacturer’s installation guide. Verify compatibility with your exact GPU model and ensure proper thermal pad placement for effective passive cooling.
