OP newspost somehow reads like this: "EK announced the release of its latest water block, the EK-Quantum Momentum² ROG Strix X670E-I Gaming D-RGB – Plexi, exclusively designed for the ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI motherboard." Sure the mainboard area is the same for the two boards (A, E, F being ATX, I being mini-ATX formats), but I did check to make sure... couldn't they just say "block's good for all the X670E Gaming mainboards"? Adding the specific number / letter for no reason does make things a little confusing imho. Comes with 18 (!) addressable RGB LEDs, but does not touch the power phases directly (mosfets - stock thermal pad - stock heatsink - aftermarket thermal pad - aftermarket heatsink 🙄 ), and does not cool the M2 slot, although it seems to at least partially reach over it. Honestly, kind of disappointing in that regard. I wanted to go with something like this but very subjectively, I'm a little disappointed with what this thing does compared to my old R5E monoblock, which cools chipset, cpu, power delivery all directly, and still was cheaper than this. Cost about 200€ in their own webshop, for anybody interested.

you nailed it. w/o vrm/mosfet cooling wtf is the point other than cosmetic?
