EKWB EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE 300 D5 PWM D-RGB Pump Reservoir - Plexi

This is my 2nd D5 pump...work great.

Such a good pump. EK> anyone else

I wanted the biggest baddest pumps i could find and EKWB did not only come through, they included all the fittings for my rig just in case the pump had cavitation for air bubbles. I still need to wipe down some spots where that coolant ran down but I am happy with the results. I did have to order 6ft sections of PTEG tubing from Grainger as the standard 3ft were too short. All in all great pumps!

While it is good quality in both build and materials, there is a major design flaw.The front ports where the input and output attach are VERY hard to work with because of the overhang. It is a MUST to put two extensions on those to be able to attach anything else there. I had to take out the needle nose pliers to tighten the extensions because I couldn't get my fingers in there. This, inevitably, left a few small spots of scoring on the extensions.Once I got it in place and got everything attached, it operates very well, and the higher speed over my old DDC pump (literally three times the flow rate) has reduced my GPU temps by 10C.I recommend it, but with the caveat: know about those attachment points, and what it will take to work around them.

Lo que más me ha gustado de esta bomba es que es robusta y silenciosa. Cumple sobradamente su función. La recomiendo.

The unit is supposed to ship fully assembled, but the bracket that holds it to the mount was not screwed down and was missing the screws. The fit is so extremely tight that you have to press down against a surface and put your weight into it to even make the holes line up. I managed to find a screw with the right width and thread, but it's just barely long enough, and so far I've been unable to get it secured, leaving my PC out of commission (this was a replacement for my previous TT pump that was failing and could no longer put out enough oomph to clear bubbles - - but would happily suck any that do make it through straight from the inflow tube to the pipe intake with no chance to escape and bleed off).Annoying, but not really EK's fault, the stock mount doesn't fit anywhere on my TT The Tower 900 case, nor does the recommended adapter fit the case's pump mounts. This is more a TT issue, but still something to be aware of, as it's a case purpose built for fancy, showy water cooling builds. I've read others had no issues drilling holes to mount where it's intended, but unfortunately I have no drill to do so.

The only problem so far has been the power wires detaching from the molex connector. I terminated the wires with a set of quick disconnects for an easy and more durable fix.Other than that, the pump and res have performed very well.

Works part time.
