The well-established manufacturer EK-Waterblocks has again designed and manufactured a waterblock of excellent quality, this time for the GTX580 & 570 graphics card. The beautifully machined copper waterblock with an acrylic cover features many finely crafted features such as the complex baseplate design or the engraved logo on the cover. The waterblocks can be mounted with the included M2.5 screws.

The cooling design itself with its wide channels ensures high flow rates. The integrated VRM cooler completes the package and ensures that every important component on the card stays cool. This allows stable operation even at the highest summer temperatures, a maximized overclocking potential as well as low noise all at once.
The waterblocks is designed for the highest quality requirements. The copper baseplate is perfectly plane and polished, the seal between top and copper is achieved with a durable and specially fitted gasket.

All new: On this water block generation the fin structure was designed significantly finer. This means that now even more cooling surface is available to transfer the heat from the component to the coolant, resulting in better cooling performance.

EN = new type of nickel plating (electroless nickel plating)

This card is compatible with all GTX580 & 570 graphics cards in reference design.

Important note: On some graphics card models, e.g. from EVGA, the GPU is not covered by a heatspreader. This makes the GPU lower on the PCB, hence making it incompatible with this water block. As an alternative Watercool offers a water block for these graphics card. It can be found as Item No. 12522.
