About EK-FC R9-290X: EK-FC R9-290X is an industry first high performance full-cover water block for AMD reference design Radeon R9 290X and -290 graphics card, first released on October 25th 2013. This water block directly cools the GPU, RAM as well as VRM (voltage regulation module) as water flows directly over these critical areas thus allowing the graphics card and it’s VRM to remain stable under high overclocks. EK-FC R9-290X water block also features a very high flow design therefore it can be easily used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps. The cooling engine now uses refined, 0.6mm wide microchannel structure to even further improve the heat transfer while not sacrificing the famous low hydraulic restriction design. Made in Slovenia, Europe!
EK-FC R9-290X is also the choice of both PowerColor as well as VisionTek for their factory liquid cooled AMD Radeon R9 290(X) series graphics cards.
The new revision water blocks are available in several different variants and are readily available for purchase through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network.
