Pannello laterale EK Water Blocks Quantum Vector2 Strix/TUF RTX 3090 Ti nickel argento

EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 3090 Ti Side Cover in nickel is a metal plate that covers the gap between the water block and the active backplate on compatible graphics cards. Manufactured from nickel-plated aluminum, the side cover conceals the terminal side of the PCB so that no part of the printed circuit board remains visible. It is intended for use exclusively together with the corresponding water block and active backplate and fits Strix and TUF RTX 3090 Ti models.

Advantages

The nickel-plated aluminum construction provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish with a silver appearance that complements EK Water Blocks cooling components. By covering the area between the water block and active backplate, the side cover creates a uniform aesthetic and prevents exposure of PCB terminals. The part is purpose-built for compatibility with Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 3090 Ti water blocks and active backplates.

Suitable for

• Strix RTX 3090 Ti graphics card water-cooling builds
• TUF RTX 3090 Ti graphics card water-cooling builds
• Setups using EK Vector² water block and active backplate for RTX 3090 Ti
