EK Announces Small Form Factor Quantum Pump-Reservoir Combo Units

EK, the premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is releasing a new Quantum line of small form factor pump-reservoir combo units. They come in well-known FLT form that makes them even easier to fit in tight spaces. The pump-reservoir combos come in both genuine D5 and DDC variants, as well as a body variant if you intend to use a DDC or D5 pump that you already own. EK-Quantum products come with sophisticated 5 V D-RGB addressable LEDs, which can be controlled through your motherboard RGB control software.

These pump-res combos are very similar to the EK-Quantum Kinetic 120 units but come in an even smaller form - 80 mm. This makes them extremely convenient for small form factor builds and wherever space is an issue. The unit features standard 120 mm and 80 mm fan mounting holes for maximum flexibility during the installation. The side of the unit has two more M4 threaded screw holes, 65 mm apart, that are also present on the EK-Loop Uni Pump Reservoir Brackets, which are sold separately.
The EK-Quantum Kinetic FLT pump-reservoir combos come with three G1/4" ports on the front and four on the left side for ample tube routing options. A digital (addressable) 3-pin 5 V D-RGB LED strip is installed in the reservoirs and combos, and connects to the motherboard's 3-pin LED header or to any other supported 5 V 3-pin addressable LED controller. This product is compatible with all major motherboard manufacturers D-RGB control software. The arrow marking on the 3-pin LED connector is to be aligned with the +5V marking on the RGB header.

The EK-Quantum Kinetic 80 pump-reservoir combos are made in Slovenia, Europe, and are available for order through the EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network.

I did notice that 100E, it is EK though so there is the EK tax to consider. I will probably still have one though.

Thats a sweet little mini res. Hook up an extra piece of flexible tubing to fill it and use a fat syringe or squeeze bottle to pull out the excess. Your golden. They should include the bracket and the above for that price.

Hi,
Most people would only need one inlet and one outlet to be used
So that leaves 5 unused holes so they must be filled with 5 plugs which is another 2.us x 5 = 10.us at the least to the total cost assuming ek provides at least 5 plugs with it.

Just checked this unit comes with 7 plugs so that adds at the least 14.us

For the amount they charge, all of their products (reviews/ratings) have to be 4 or 5 stars, or i dont care.

i can buy almost everything twice, able to replace things without waiting for anything like shipping/eval etc.
