EK Unveils Sleek and Stylish EK-Quantum Surface Slim Radiators in Striking All-Black Finish

EK, the renowned manufacturer of high-end liquid-cooling equipment, is expanding its EK-Quantum Surface radiator lineup with the introduction of two new Black Editions designed for the Slim series. These radiators have already made a name for themselves in the industry, receiving widespread acclaim and recognition from reputable review-based websites. The expansion of the product line comes after years of meticulous development and market research, resulting in radiators that offer both mechanical rigidity and top-tier performance.

The new Black Edition EK-Quantum Surface S radiators are available in two sizes: 240 mm and 360 mm. With a slim profile of only 30 mm, these radiators are perfect for cases with limited space. Despite their reduced thickness, they deliver exceptional performance, particularly at low and medium fan speeds. The Black Edition Surface radiators feature dual G1/4″ threaded connection ports and 16 copper tubes that span the entire length of the radiator, ensuring optimal coolant flow without adding stress to your cooling loop. The high-quality non-louvered copper fins with a density of 20 FPI strike a perfect balance between thermal transfer and air resistance, resulting in optimal performance even at low fan speeds.

It’s worth noting that a Push/Pull configuration is not recommended for the S Series EK-Quantum Surface radiators, as it does not provide a proportional increase in performance. If additional cooling capability is required, it is advised to incorporate additional radiators into the setup. Like other products in the Quantum Line, EK’s Surface radiators bring several improvements, including enhanced thermal performance, reduced coolant flow restriction, and improved airflow restriction.

The sleek all-black design of the radiator, including the frame, end caps, port adapters, fins, and screws, makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a refined and minimalist aesthetic without compromising on performance. The blacked-out design seamlessly integrates with any PC build and is sure to catch the eye. Furthermore, the radiator can be easily disassembled and modified, making it a dream option for DIY enthusiasts.

The EK Quantum Surface Black Edition boasts exceptional craftsmanship, advanced Liquid Cooling capabilities, and a streamlined installation process. Constructed from premium materials with utmost precision, this product ensures long-lasting performance and reliability, catering to the needs of even the most demanding PC users. The interior architecture of the radiator is carefully designed to minimize flow restrictions and alleviate strain on the cooling loop, allowing for the integration of multiple radiators into a single loop using a single pump. These radiators maintain peak performance even at lower fan speeds, thanks to their airflow-friendly and low-restriction attributes. The low airflow restriction also ensures proper ventilation within the case and allows other radiators in the system to function optimally.

In line with EK’s commitment to providing a seamless liquid-cooling experience, the EK-Quantum Surface radiators are EK-Matrix7 compatible. This compatibility allows for easy integration with Reflection², the second generation of Quantum distro plates, enabling users to effortlessly swap and upgrade between S, P, and X series Surface radiators within the same case (provided the case supports thicker radiators in the same position).

The EK-Quantum Surface Black Edition radiators are designed and engineered in Slovenia and manufactured in China. They can be pre-ordered through the EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network, with shipping expected to commence in early October 2023. The manufacturer-suggested retail prices (MSRP), including VAT, are as follows:

– EK-Quantum Surface S240 – Black Edition: [Price]

– EK-Quantum Surface S360 – Black Edition: [Price]

Technology Explained

---

Liquid Cooling: Liquid cooling is a technology used to cool down computer components, such as processors, graphics cards, and other components that generate a lot of heat. It works by circulating a liquid coolant, such as water or a special coolant, through a series of pipes and radiators. The liquid absorbs the heat from the components and then dissipates it into the air. This technology is becoming increasingly popular in the computer industry due to its ability to provide more efficient cooling than traditional air cooling methods. Liquid cooling can also be used to overclock components, allowing them to run at higher speeds than their rated speeds. This technology is becoming increasingly popular in the gaming industry, as it allows gamers to get the most out of their hardware.
