MSI X470 GAMING PRO CARBON is an excellent motherboard. The CPU part adopts 13-phase power supply design and dual 8pin power supply. In theory, it can provide up to 500W output power for AMD Ruilong 2nd generation CPU.
However, in the media evaluation, this motherboard in the Ruilong 7 2700X silent frequency when the motherboard VRM temperature can reach 70 degrees, after overclocking to 4.2GHz, the motherboard VRM temperature is more than 80 degrees, and at this time the CPU power is only 180W. The temperature of the motherboard's power supply MOS greatly limits the overclocking potential of the CPU. In this regard, EK Water Blocks, a Slovenian water cooling expert, has introduced a water-cooled head specially designed for the MSI X470 GAMING PRO CARBON motherboard.
The water-cooled head, called the EK-FB MSI X470 Pro Carbon RGB Monoblock, features an EK-Supremacy EVO cooling engine designed in collaboration with MSI, and a top made of high-quality acrylic glass.

The whole base is made of pure copper nickel plating, which can completely cover the MOS of the Acer CPU and the motherboard. The water-cooled liquid flows directly through all the key areas, taking away the heat of the MOS and the CPU.
The water-cooled head is equipped with a 12V RGB LED strip, and the 4pin power supply of the motherboard can be used to obtain RGB lighting effects.
EK-FB MSI X470 Pro Carbon RGB Monoblock is manufactured in Slovenia, Europe and was launched in Europe on July 23 for 119.95 Euros. Chinese consumers can purchase through Amazon.com.
