Fractal Design Torrent Case Gets an EK-Quantum Reflection² Distro Plate
EK, the leading manufacturer of premium water-cooling gear, is launching the EK-Quantum Reflection² Torrent DDC 4.2 PWM D-RGB - Plexi, a fully integrated water-cooling reservoir, coolant routing, and pump solution made to fit the popular Fractal Design Torrent case. This "distro plate" is specifically designed to provide an advanced water-cooling solution with a market-leading DDC 4.2 pump for users who are building custom loop liquid cooling solutions inside the Torrent chassis. This Reflection² distribution plate is EK-Matrix7 compatible.
The distro plate is designed to simplify the process for beginner-level PC builders entering the hard-tubing world of custom loop liquid cooling and to bring the slim-lined EK Quantum aesthetics to an already elegant case. By using EK-Quantum products that are compatible with the EK-Matrix7 standard, users can make an entire hard-tubing loop without any tube-bending tasks.The EK-Quantum Reflection² Torrent DDC 4.2 PWM D-RGB - Plexi offers an all-in-one solution that includes a DDC 4.2 pump, reservoir, simple mounting mechanism, and multiple industry-standard G1/4" threaded inlets and outlets. The placement of these inlets and outlets is perfectly aligned to match other components that are typically water-cooled, allowing minimum effort when routing the tubes. The distro plate can support up to one CPU water block, GPU block, and two radiators.
The radiator compatibility is as follows:
This distribution plate comes with a genuine PWM-controlled DDC 4.2 pump that is both powerful and silent. Being a part of the EK Quantum Line, this premium product has enough power to give excellent performance with multiple blocks and radiators. The reservoir is made of CNC-machined cast acrylic material for a glass-like appearance and improved rigidity.
Availability and Pricing
The EK-Quantum Reflection² Torrent DDC 4.2 PWM D-RGB - Plexi distribution plate is available for pre-order through the EK Webshop and partner reseller network. This product is expected to ship out in early January 2023. The table below shows the manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP), VAT included.

Honestly, I myself have got a Torrent with a custom loop (dual 180mm rad in the front + triple 120mm rad in the bottom) and I see no point in this. It removes the ability to use 180mm fans which is the whole point of the Torrent, and the included 180mm fans is close to half of the price of the case.
Pretty tall and looks like as many holes as swiss cheese has and many plugs included maybe :laugh:
