Backplate EK Water Blocks 3831109832660
EK-Quantum Vector XC3 RTX 3080/3090 Backplate - Black is a CNC-machined retention backplate made from black anodized aluminum that is designed to fit all EK-Quantum Vector XC3 RTX 3080/3090 water blocks. The backplate spans the full length of the graphics card PCB, adds structural support and protection, and provides passive cooling for the backside components including the voltage regulation module (VRM), GPU core area and, on RTX 3090 cards, the VRAM.
The anodized aluminum construction offers durability and a clean black finish that matches EKWB cooling systems. By covering the entire PCB length the backplate improves rigidity of the graphics card and helps dissipate heat passively from the VRM, GPU backside and memory (on 3090 models), without requiring additional power or fans. CNC machining ensures precise fit and alignment with the EK-Quantum Vector XC3 RTX 3080/3090 water blocks.
Install the backplate together with the matching EK-Quantum Vector XC3 RTX 3080/3090 water block following EKWB’s assembly instructions. Position the backplate on the PCB so that mounting holes align with the water block and standoffs, then secure it with the provided screws or hardware. Ensure all thermal interfaces and mounting points are correctly seated to maintain contact and enable passive heat transfer.
Use only with compatible EK-Quantum Vector XC3 RTX 3080/3090 water blocks and follow the manufacturer’s installation guide. Verify compatibility with your specific card revision and handle the PCB and connectors carefully to avoid damage during installation.
