EK always has a water block in the making, and it seems to like following the logical path of naming them after the product they're made for. Such is the case with the EK-FB GA G1.Sniper 5.

Long story short, EK has launched a water block made for the Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5 motherboard.

Said water block cools the Intel Z87 southbridge (PCH), PLX PEX 8474 PCIe lane splitter, and power regulation module (VRM / MOSFETs).

Moreover, it uses an all-in-one design that only needs a pair of industry standard G1/4 fittings.

Quality rubber gaskets seal it from the outside world, and pre-installed nickel plated brass screw-in standoffs ensure easy installation.

The EK-FB GA G1.Sniper 5 – Acetal+Nickel has a price of €127.95 / $127.95. Which is to say, the top is made of quality POM Acetal material and the base out of nickel plated electrolytic copper.
