It ships with a mounting mechanism reliant on the AMD motherboard backplate

I almost thought I'd be writing about another video card waterblock, but this one EK Water Blocks has introduced something for AMD motherboards and CPUs/APUs instead.

Called EK-Supreme LTX AMD series, it installs on AMD motherboards through the PreciseMount mechanism, which utilizes the AMD motherboard backplate.

The AMD motherboard backplate has been an integral part of every modern AMD socket motherboard since 2004.

It ensures contact between water block cold plates and the CPU itself, improving the thermal performance of the water block itself.

The totally tool-less construction of the product is a nice bonus.

The EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network should already be selling the newcomer, for various prices:

EK-Supreme LTX AMD CSQ – €35,53 / $35.53 EK-Supreme LTX AMD - Acetal CSQ – €35,53 / $35.53 EK-Supreme LTX AMD - Nickel CSQ – €42,65 / $42.65 EK-Supreme LTX AMD - Acetal+Nickel CSQ - €42,65 / $42.65.
