EK is Releasing a New Combo Unit and Two Reservoirs Fitted with RGB

[btarunr]

EK Water Blocks, the Slovenia-based premium computer liquid cooling gear manufacturer is going deeper into the field of RGB as one EK-XRES Revo combo unit and two EK-RES X3 reservoirs are hitting the shelves! All three new products are equipped with classic 4-pin RGB LED stripes making them compatible with every major motherboard manufacturer and mainstream RGB controller.

The EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 RGB PWM comes with a 140mm tall reservoir and has all of its pump cables sleeved. A high-performance aftermarket pump top (volute) is integrated with the reservoir for Xylem D5 series water pumps. This top offers increased hydraulic performance (up to 15%) compared to stock solutions.



EK-RES X3 series reservoirs are cylindrical standalone solutions, manufactured from premium quality 60mm wide acrylic tube and POM Acetal end caps in black color. An airtight seal is ensured by quality EPDM rubber washers at both ends of the reservoir. With the total of six G1/4" ports, EK-RES X3 150 RGB and EK-RES X3 250 RGB reservoirs make the filling, tube routing and draining an easy task. The number of inlet/outlet port configuration options on these reservoirs and the simple but effective mounting kit make the loop building a straightforward process.

EK-RES X3 150 RGB, EK-RES X3 250 RGB and EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 RGB PWM are compatible with popular RGB sync technologies from all major motherboard manufacturers.

All three products are made in Slovenia, Europe and are readily available for purchase through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. In the table below you can see manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) with VAT included.

• EK-RES X3 150 RGB 58.95€
• EK-RES X3 250 RGB 65.95€
• EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 RGB PWM (incl. sl. pump) 155.95€

No, love for DDC!? SHAME!

RGB. It'll make your CPU cooler by extra 15°C.

Maybe because the D5 is better suited for water cooling? with noticeable less noise than a DCC.

Uh no, I can't even begin to understand how or where you came to that conclusion. They're both centrifugal pumps there is no "one is more suited than" the other beyond that there simply pros and cons between the two even then it depends on the user.

Because i have both a D5 and a DCC here in my apartment, and two D5 emit less noise than one DCC at 20% PWM, while still keeping the water cooling loop at the same temperatures.

Only reason to go for a DCC is if you don't have the space for a D5, since a DCC with top is about half the size of a D5 with top.

I've used both over a period of 20 years and never heard either over fans, and the fans are also quiet themselves when they run lower than a medium speed. Noise is a very irrelevant point to claim that a DDC is unfit WC'ing.

 

[Brusfantomet]

then you and i have a subjectively different understanding of "quiet", as i hear a large difference between the pumps, and i find any fan at over 500 rpm to be too loud for idle pc usage.

i am not saying that the DCC is unfit for water cooling, but the D5 is better.
