EK Water Blocks, Slovenia based premium computer liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is proud to introduce a new Full-Cover water block, designed and engineered specifically for MSI® Gaming X 8G series GeForce® GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 graphics cards – the EK-FC1080 GTX TF6.

EK-FC1080 GTX TF6 is a high-performance Full-Cover water block, intended to replace the original TwinFrozr VI cooler that comes with the graphics card out-of-the-box. The EK-FC1080 TF6 actively 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-FC1080 TF6 water block features EK unique central inlet split-flow cooling engine design for best possible cooling performance, which also works flawlessly with reversed water flow without adversely affecting the cooling performance. Moreover, such design offers great hydraulic performance, allowing this product to be used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps.
