The fluid dynamic bearings ensure a long lifespan and silent operation during low-power scenarios, while precise PWM allows for on-demand performance. Full Pressure Technology (FPT) utilizes a full-frame design that completely seals the radiator, preventing air escape. Additionally, OmniLink enables easy daisy-chaining of fan power, D-RGB, and pump power through a single cable.
Pump and Reservoir Combo
1x EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE 200 D5 PWM D-RGB - Acetal.
This high-performance Quantum pump-reservoir combo unit features rich D-RGB lighting, with the core of this combo unit being the market-proven Xylem D5 PWM water pump. It features a fully rounded design for improved usability, allowing installation at any angle within 360° of rotation. A special rubber shock absorber is used to de-couple the main pump body from the mounting clip for silent operation, free of vibration-induced noise. Additionally, horizontal and vertical positioning is supported for easier tube routing possibilities with a multitude of ports to choose from.
Fittings
6x EK-Quantum Torque STC-10/16 - Black.
The kits pack six minimalistic 10/16mm (ID/OD) soft-tube compression fittings designed to be used with various flexible soft tubing. The locking ring compresses the tubing wall beneath it, ensuring the flexible tube remains securely attached to the fitting's barb. The fittings feature grooves on the outside for easier hand tightening. Notably, EK-Quantum Torque series products have received the prestigious iF Design Award, with a robust industrial aesthetic that sets the Torque family apart, highlighting the precise manufacturing processes used in their creation.
2x EK-Quantum Torque Rotary 90° - Black.
The revolvable and angled (90°) adapter fittings with G1/4" threads feature a cylinder shape that guarantees sturdiness and zero movements in the revolvable joint, making them ideal for effortlessly navigating challenging tube routes. These Quantum Line adapters are crafted from CNC-machined brass with a high-quality Satin Black finish, and the seals are made with durable rubber O-rings.
