有在使用 Maximus Z690 Formula 主機板,同時還有上水的使用者注意了!

TechPowerUp 的報導提到 ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Formula 空水冷混合式 VRM 散熱模組出了點問題,因為發現散熱模組內表面出現腐蝕現象。基本上,ROG Maximus Z690 Formula 已經停產。

ASUS 在官網是這樣介紹 CROSSCHILL EK III 混合式散熱設計:「CrossChill 混合式散熱設計 帶有鎳製散熱通道的設計,散熱效果極佳。」

作為 Maximus Z690 Formula VRM 散熱模組的合作品牌 EKWB 也針對此問題做出說明,但內容提到目前正在與 ASUS 合作調查相關問題,同時 ASUS 也會提供 VRM 替代方案給受影響的使用者。

EK-Quantum Momentum² VRM Bridge ROG Incompatibility Announcement

Dear and valued EK Customer,

We regret to inform you that the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 FORMULA motherboard is incompatible with our EK-Quantum Momentum² VRM Bridge ROG Maximus Z690 Formula solution, as well as other copper-based EK products.

We have developed the liquid distribution VRM Bridge solution to help our users get the full benefits from motherboards that feature CrossChill EK III hybrid VRM thermal solution by connecting any EK-Quantum Velocity² CPU water block directly to the VRM thermal water ports.

Unfortunately, EK and ASUS have discovered the issue of the VRM block corrosion. We are already working closely to address this issue and offer support to all affected customers.

ASUS is readying an adequate replacement hybrid VRM thermal solution for everyone affected by this issue. Feel free to reach out to your local ASUS support team for any additional information.

In the meantime, EK and ASUS are improving collaborative processes and development guardrails to ensure all future products exceed our customers’ expectations.

We are genuinely sorry for any inconvenience this might be causing you.

We appreciate your understanding,
Team EK

從 TechPowerUp 的報導中了解,這應該不是第一起案例,最初是在美國 reddit 討論區中被揭露,時間是在 2022 年 10 月左右。報導中也提到 ASUS 並不是第一次發生類似問題,

過往的經驗讓我們知道,水冷產品表面出現腐蝕現象的可能問題不少,相關問題可能會造成整個水路阻塞讓整體流速變慢以致爆管,或者是導致幫浦受損而無法使用。

若各位手上有使用 Maximus Z690 Formula 主機板,同時也上水的使用者,千萬要留意是否有發生類似問題。

ASUS 台灣官方回覆:若使用者碰到類似問題,可以直接與 ASUS 客服聯繫以獲得後續處理。
