EK company announced the launch of its new EK-Quantum Delta2 TEC for LGA 1700 and 12th Generation Intel Core CPUsEK, the leading provider of computer cooling solutions (click here for more information on the subject), has released the latest generation of its TEC solution.We are talking about the new EK-Quantum Delta2 TEC, a CPU water block for extreme cooling.In collaboration with Intel (here for more info), EK has developed a next-generation waterblock for enthusiasts looking for consistent peak performance.And of course, the ultimate overclocking of unlocked 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors.This water block is based on Peltier technology (ThermoElectricCooler) and can transport heat using the Peltier effect.Inside the TEC plate, the Peltier effect produces a temperature difference between the two sides by causing a current to flow through it.This means that the cold plate, which is in contact with the CPU, can be lowered to temperatures below ambient while the liquid cooling circuit cools the hot side of the TEC.EK-Quantum Delta2 TEC makes further improvements to the original EK-Quantum Delta TEC design.Instead of an original TEC plate, the new generation has four TEC plates.These are welded to the bottom of the water block that goes over the CPU, improving contact and cooling the block and possibly the CPU.Another improvement is that TEC plates are no longer made of aluminum oxide but of aluminum nitride (AlN).Aluminum Nitride (AlN) Ceramic Plates are state-of-the-art thermoelectric plates that greatly improve energy efficiency, especially at higher power levels.The water block features the distinctive Quantum design, also found on Velocity 2 products, along with the controller unit.The controller is now a separate element, intended to be mounted to a nearby 120mm fan inside the case.As such, it no longer compromises the visual appearance of the water block, as was the case with previous generations of EK TEC products.The control unit can now connect and control the pump and fans of the circuit used to cool the TEC plate.Thus making it even easier to use.And that's not where the improvements stop.Further updates have been made to the insulation that prevents condensation, now with a high-precision dense rubber frame in place of foam.The water block uses integrated mounting screws already equipped with retention springs.It also has two additional thermal sensors, one on the warm side and one on the cold side of the Peltier element.This is for precise monitoring and control of TEC plates.It is powered exclusively by Intel Cryo Cooling technology.A unique combination of hardware, software and firmware designed to help unleash extraordinary performance for gamers and those looking for the highest boost rates.This unique cooler is built for maximum performance and frequencies during heavy loads on a single core or lighter loads on multiple cores.It is not intended for torture and stress testing software that places a heavy synthetic load on all cores, such as Prime95.The EK-Quantum Delta2 TEC is built using a specially designed large surface continuous flow cooling engine with Intel Cryo cooling technology.The latter combines aesthetic uniformity and near-silent operation with technological advances in thermal solutions.The cooler features an outstanding application of CPU cooling in sub-ambient temperatures.All this using the thermoelectric cooler (TEC) plate while it continuously monitors and adjusts temperatures dynamically.In this way, obtaining an ideal operating environment for sustained gaming performance.Liquid coolers are unable to reach temperatures below ambient, while EK-Quantum Delta2 TEC uses state-of-the-art technology.It actively cools the CPU to sub-ambient temperatures while extracting and dissipating the heat generated by the TEC plate through the traditional liquid cooling circuit.EK-Quantum Delta2 TEC uses an innovative two-pronged approach to mitigate condensation, a by-product that has far surpassed previous sub-environment cooling attempts.The cooler features a compact built-in insulating rubber coating that isolates all exposed cold surfaces from environmental conditions inside the PC.While Intel Cryo Cooling technology continuously monitors the TEC and ambient temperature to adapt to such conditions and prevent condensation generated by the cooling process.An additional sensor is placed inside the control unit to monitor the humidity inside the frame and avoid dew point.The EK-Quantum Delta2 TEC is available for pre-order through the EK Online Store.Availability of this product is scheduled for mid-August 2022.And you?What do you think of this new EK-Quantum Delta2 TEC?Let us know with a comment and stay
