EK releases the EK-Quantum Delta² TEC, a CPU water block developed in collaboration with Intel, now compatible with the 14th generation of Intel Core desktop CPUs, featuring Peltier technology and Intel Cryo Cooling Technology for exceptional performance and maximum frequencies, available for order through the EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network.

  • Collaboration with Intel to bring cooling technology to the market
  • Compatibility with a wide range of Intel Core CPUs, including the latest 14th generation
  • Innovative use of Peltier technology for sub-ambient temperatures


EK, the provider of computer cooling solutions, is thrilled to announce the release of its latest generation TEC solution – the EK-Quantum Delta² TEC. This CPU water block, developed in collaboration with Intel, is now compatible with the 14th generation of Intel Core desktop CPUs. EK expresses gratitude to Intel for their collaboration in bringing this extreme cooling technology to the market. EK is now taking charge and providing support for the 14th generation with the EK Delta² TEC Integrated Intel Cryo Cooling Technology software.

The EK-Quantum Delta² TEC supports a wide range of Intel Core CPUs, including the Intel Core i5-12600K, i7-12700K, i9-12900K, i5-13600K, i7-13700K, i9-13900K, i5-14600k, i7-14700k, and i9-14900k processors, among others. This list has been expanded from the previous generations to include the latest 14th-gen Intel Core CPUs. For a complete list of supported CPUs, please refer to EK’s website.

This innovative water block utilizes Peltier (ThermoElectricCooler) technology to effectively transport heat using the Peltier effect. By applying a current through the TEC plate, the Peltier effect creates a temperature difference between its two sides. This allows the cold plate, which comes into contact with the CPU, to reach sub-ambient temperatures while the Liquid Cooling loop cools the hot side of the TEC.

The EK-Quantum Delta² TEC features EK’s separateive Quantum design, which is also found in their Velocity² products. It includes a separate controller unit that can be conveniently mounted on a nearby 120 mm fan mounting inside the case. This control unit enables users to connect and control the loop’s pump and fans that cool the TEC plate, enhancing user-friendliness.

Powered exclusively by Intel Cryo Cooling Technology, a unique combination of hardware, software, and firmware, the EK-Quantum Delta² TEC delivers exceptional performance and maximum frequencies during heavy loads on a single core or lighter loads across multiple cores. However, it is not designed for stress test software that applies heavy synthetic loads across all cores.

The EK-Quantum Delta² TEC boasts a purpose-designed large-surface flow-through cooling engine with Intel Cryo Cooling Technology, ensuring both aesthetic uniformity and near-silent operation while incorporating technological advancements in thermal solutions. This cooler represents a remarkable application of CPU cooling, achieving sub-ambient temperatures through the use of the Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC) plate and dynamically monitoring and adjusting temperatures for an optimal operating environment that sustains gaming performance.

The EK-Quantum Delta² TEC is now available for order through the EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. The EK-Quantum Delta² TEC D-RGB – Full Nickel variant has a suggested retail price (MSRP) of €572.90, VAT included.

Technology Explained


CPU: The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the brain of a computer, responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations. It is the most important component of a computer system, as it is responsible for controlling all other components. CPUs are used in a wide range of applications, from desktop computers to mobile devices, gaming consoles, and even supercomputers. CPUs are used to process data, execute instructions, and control the flow of information within a computer system. They are also used to control the input and output of data, as well as to store and retrieve data from memory. CPUs are essential for the functioning of any computer system, and their applications in the computer industry are vast.

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.
