EK Water Blocks just released a new motherboard monoblock, this time for the ASUS ROG Maximum IX Hero motherboard. The EK-FBASUS M9H is the first line of monoblocks for the socket 1151 ASUS Z270 chipset motherboards. The EK-FB ASUS M9H Monoblock is a complete all-in-one (CPU and motherboard) liquid cooling solution for the new Intel Z270 Express Chipset LGA1151 ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero motherboard that supports the latest 7th generation and 6th generation Intel Core Processors.

Cooling Design


The EK-FB ASUS M9H Monoblock is engineered and designed with the collaboration of ASUS. The monoblock uses the EK Water Blocks’ award-winning EK-Supremacy EVO cooling engine for the CPU that guarantees the best cooling performance to further unleash the potential of your processor. The EK-FB ASUS M9H Monoblock provides direct cooling to the Intel LGA 1151 socket processor along with the power regulation (MOSFET) module around it. Liquid flows directly over the critical areas of the motherboard which allows enthusiasts the opportunity to achieve higher and more stable overclocks. Like with every EK monoblock, the EK-FB ASUS M9H features high flow design and this monoblock can be easily used with the system using a weaker water pump as well.

The base of the EK-FB ASUS M9H monoblock is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper while the top is made of quality acrylic glass material. The nickel plated brass screw-in standoffs are pre-installed and allow for easy installation. The included thermal pad is used on voltage regulator modules to improve cooling performance of the water block. For the CPU please use the included EK-TIM Ectotherm electrically non-conductive thermal grease.
