The EK Water Blocks 3831109892343 Acrylic Brass Black Silver is a monoblock designed to provide direct liquid cooling for Intel 1200-socket CPUs and associated motherboard power regulation components on compatible MSI MPG Z590 Carbon Gaming motherboards. It combines an acrylic top with a nickel-plated copper cold plate and brass mounting standoffs to deliver a robust, single-piece cooling solution that directs coolant over critical areas for improved thermal management during demanding workloads.

Advantages

This monoblock uses a fifth-generation Velocity cooling engine with a dense micro-fin cold plate structure machined from nickel-plated copper, offering low hydraulic restriction and efficient heat transfer. The integrated D-RGB LED strip provides addressable lighting compatible with MSI Mystic Light and standard 3-pin 5V D-RGB headers, while the pre-installed brass screw-in standoffs and included mounting mechanism simplify installation. The high-flow design enables operation with lower pump speeds or weaker pumps, and the enclosed thermal pads and non-conductive thermal grease support stable power regulation cooling and safer CPU contact.

Suitable for

• Direct liquid cooling of Intel LGA 1200 socket CPUs on MSI MPG Z590 Carbon Gaming motherboards
• Cooling motherboard power delivery (VRM/MOSFET) components alongside the CPU
• Custom water-cooling loops requiring a one-piece monoblock with integrated RGB

Key specifications

• Top material: cast acrylic
• Cold plate material: nickel-plated copper with dense micro-fin structure
• Mounting standoffs: nickel-plated brass, pre-installed
• Lighting: 3-pin 5V addressable D-RGB LED strip (compatible with MSI Mystic Light)
• Compatibility: designed for Intel LGA 1200 socket and MSI MPG Z590 Carbon Gaming motherboard layout
• Design: single-piece monoblock with high-flow, low-restriction coolant path
• Included thermal interface materials: non-conductive thermal grease for CPU and thermal pads for voltage regulator modules

How to use

Install the monoblock onto the compatible motherboard following the enclosed mounting mechanism instructions, aligning the pre-installed brass standoffs with the motherboard screw points. Apply the supplied non-conductive thermal grease to the CPU heatspreader and place thermal pads on the voltage regulator modules as indicated. Connect two fittings for inlet and outlet to the loop, and attach the 3-pin 5V D-RGB connector to a compatible header, aligning the arrow on the connector with the +5V marking. After securing fittings and electrical connections, pressure-test and fill the loop according to standard custom cooling procedures before powering the system.

Recommendations

Use with compatible MSI MPG Z590 Carbon Gaming motherboards and an Intel LGA 1200 CPU. Verify D-RGB header pinout compatibility (+5V, Data, NC, Ground) before connecting the LED cable. Perform a leak and flow test at low pump speed first, and ensure the cooling loop has sufficient flow for optimal heat transfer. Replace thermal grease and inspect thermal pads during major maintenance or rebuilds.
