Mini-ITX format motherboards often suffer from poorer airflow due to lack of space, and having less space on the motherboard means less VRM components can be incorporated into it. Having liquid cooling over the VRM area in mini-ITX housings is extremely beneficial for the life of the motherboard and the ability to obtain high overclocking values.

The EK-Momentum Strix Z390-I features an addressable digital RGB LED that is ASUS AURA RGB compatible, thus offering a complete lighting customization experience for each diode at any time.

Like most monoblocks, the one-piece waterblock base is designed to cool both the CPU (any model supported by the motherboard) and its voltage regulator, eliminating the need for a fan to blow directly onto the license plate.

The nickel-plated copper water block is designed for minimal flow restriction, allowing efficient operation with low flow and / or low pressure pumps. The acrylic top is sealed by an O-ring embedded in the base, and the nickel-plated brass standoffs at the bottom allow for simplified installation from behind the base plate.

Currently, the EK-Momentum Strix Z390-I is available for € 142 at the EK web store.
