Like always, EK is refining the Supremacy line of flagship performance CPU water blocks even further in order to provide the best possible cooling for this new 6th generation Intel® Core® i processors.

“EK-Supremacy EVO’s unique modular design allows us to squeeze the best performance on every new CPU platform without performance penalties on other platforms“, said Niko Tivadar, EK’s Chief of R&D. “Thorough mechanical and thermal testing will be undertaken by EK in order find the best combination of Insert and Jet for Skylake platform.”

In order to simplify the search for suitable and compatible water block EK is adding newly released hardware from various manufacturers to EK Cooling Configurator database and compatible motherboards are being added to the list on a daily basis:
