ROG Strix Z790-I: EKWB offers a monoblock for the Asus card!
With its new monoblock, EK offers us a product measuring 94.50 (W) x 94.50 (H) x 34 (H) mm. The choice of materials is once again a nickel-plated copper base while we have a plexi top. Moreover, this plexi will also act as a diffuser for the aRGB lighting consisting of 6 diodes.
With this, the block in question is standardized EK-Matrix7. In broad terms, this is a set of standard dimensions at EKWB aimed at simplifying the installation of custom watercooling loops.
