EKWB takes over Intel's discontinued Cryo Cooling tech — adds 14th Gen support to EK Delta TEC waterblock

EK-QuantumX Delta TEC EVO.

Liquid cooling manufacturer EKWB is taking the reins of Intel's recently killed-off Cryo Cooling Technology and is maintaining support of its EK Delta TEC waterblock independently from Intel, according to a report from TechPowerUp. EKWB has added 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh support to the Delta TEC, despite Intel dropping support with 13th Gen Raptor Lake.

Intel apparently did not find its investment into the Cryo Cooling ecosystem to be worthwhile, and the company discontinued its home-brewed Cryo Cooling Technology on July 1, 2023, and discontinued distributing software updates on Dec. 31, 2023. Despite launching with Intel's 10th Gen Comet Lake CPUs several years ago, AIOs utilizing Intel's Cryo Cooling Technology never gained traction — most likely because they were expensive and offered limited functionality.
