EK Water Blocks has released yet more water block for ROG's Maximus VI series: this time the Maximus VI Gene and Maximus VI Hero motherboards. Featuring high flow designs as well as a rather unique look, the new EK-SB ASUS M6G is designed for the Z87 PCH on both boards! The EK-SB ASUS M6G fits Gene out-of-the-box, while the Hero it requires re-fitting of the standoffs to alternative mounting holes via supplied mini-wrench. Pictures inside.

Inside there is an ASUS Radeon R9 280X DirectCU II graphics card.
