EK, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, is now offering an enterprise-grade GPU water block for NVIDIA GeForce RTX A5000 graphics cards. This new water block incorporates a CNC-machined nickel-plated copper base with a laser-cut stainless-steel top for a robust metal cooling solution, effectively making it a single-slot assembly.
EK-Pro GPU WB RTX A5000 – Nickel + Inox water block is purpose-designed for the RTX A5000 graphics cards. This water block cools the GPU, VRAM, and VRM (voltage regulation module) as the cooling liquid is channeled directly over these critical areas.
This liquid cooling solution uses an Open Split-Flow cooling engine design that proved to be a superior solution for GPU water blocks. It is characterized by low hydraulic flow restriction, which means it can be used with weaker water pumps or pumps running on low-speed settings and still achieve top performance. The decreased coolant flow requirement makes it an ideal solution for multi-GPU workstations. The jet plate and fin structure geometry have been optimized to provide balanced flow distribution with minimal losses and optimal performances even when used in reversed water flow scenarios.
The base of the block is CNC machined out of nickel-plated electrolytic copper, while the top is laser-cut out of industry-grade stainless steel. The top plate features a screw-in PCIe power connector bracket to securely hold the power connector once fully assembled. High-quality EPDM O-Rings ensure the sealing. The brass standoffs come pre-installed, allowing for a safe and easy installation procedure.
The I/O plate is integrated with the water block top itself, providing extra stability and protection to the graphics card. This means the block replaces the stock I/O shield and adds more sturdiness to the whole assembly. The integrated single-slot I/O plate is also quite beneficial for more compact workstations and server environments where space and PCIe slot spacing is at a premium. This design enables the card to only consume a single PCIe x16 slot it occupies, leaving its surrounding slots available for other add-in cards.
The aesthetic retention backplate improves the GPU’s looks and structural rigidity while providing passive cooling to the backside of the PCB VRM area. The entire water block and GPU assembly are fully compatible with the NVIDIA NVLink connector, thanks to the water block top and backplate cutouts.
This version of the EK-Pro A5000 GPU water block features a POM machined 45° angled terminal block with two G1/4” ports, allowing easy integration with EK-Pro QDC kits and manifolds for high compute density applications. Additionally, the water block is equipped with a side-mounted standoff for GPU brace applications, ensuring secure GPU mounting during transport and movement of the chassis.
We recommend you refer to the EK Cooling Configurator for a precise compatibility match. Our team checks compatible graphics cards and adds them to the database daily.
