EK Water Blocks D5-Powered Ek-Quantum Reflection O11D Distribution Plate Goes Mini
EK, the premium water cooling gear manufacturer, is expanding the Reflection distro plate series with a product specifically designed for the Lian Li O11D Mini case. The EK-Quantum Reflection PC-O11D Mini D5 PWM D-RGB is a custom water cooling reservoir, routing, and pump solution that seamlessly fits into the front of the case and includes the enthusiast-favorite D5 pump.
Designed to offer unique aesthetics and ease of use, this advanced all-in-one waterway solution comes with a pump, reservoir, simple mounting mechanism, and multiple industry-standard G1/4" threaded inlets and outlets. The placement of these inlets and outlets is aligned to fit with other EK-Quantum products to minimize the number of tube bends when you're creating the loop. It was engineered to support a maximum of five components.
Installing this distro plate in the front of the case allows two radiator configurations based on your motherboard form factor.
ATX
The addressable D-RGB LED strip runs down the unit's entire length while an anodized black aluminium cover hides the unwanted LED hotspots. The built-in addressable LED strip contains 13 digital LEDs and connects to the motherboard's 5 V headers. It is also compatible with MSI MYSTIC LIGHT SYNC, ASROCK POLYCHROME SYNC, ASUS AURA SYNC, and GIGABYTE RGB FUSION 2 software for a coordinated lighting effect.
This water distribution plate comes with a powerful yet silent, PWM-controlled D5 pump. The goal was to make a product that offers great reliability and outstanding performance with multiple blocks and radiators while keeping the noise down to a minimum.
Reservoir
The EK-Quantum Reflection PC-O11D Mini D5 PWM D-RGB distribution plate is available for pre-order through the EK Webshop and partner reseller network. This product is estimated to ship out in early March 2021. In the table below, you can see the manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP), VAT included.
MSRP: 319.90€ including VAT.

I don't find hard tubing any harder to manage than soft. Its about the same for me. Maintenance may actually be a bit easier since hard tubing doesn't leach and water seems to stay cleaner longer so flushing and cleaning intervals seem to be longer.
Now, unless you're talking about using quick disconnects for soft tubing builds, but I have never used those even with my soft tubing builds.
I wasn't referring to QDC's but I do use them in all builds to separate cpu/ gpu and add/ remove a good automotive glass gas filter quickly
Getting air our of radiators takes a lot of time.
I was only speaking about changing thermal paste before as being ezpz leaving a little slack on the soft tubing to accommodate removing cpu water block without disassembly...
