they are not push lock i believe, just two orings queezing the tube with no physical lock. But yea, the D5 and DDC have nowhere enough pressure to make one of those come out.

Idea: if you're using two of these, use one on the gpu loop and one on the cpu loop. use copper tubing inside the reservoir as a heat exchanger between the two loops. Connect one of the outputs from one into the array of copper tubes in the other. That way, if one loop gets too hot and has to spool up, the other takes on some of the heat. You'd have to use the topmost center input ports, so it would probably be best to use glass tubing to minimize air ingress as water would slowly leave through plastic tubes (to prevent air getting mixed down into the loops), but it would look sick as hell. Is it ludicrous overkill? Sure. That's part of the fun though. EDIT: this might actually make the individual loops easier to do depending on the cases fan mounts. The cpu loop could be on the back, with the radiator IO towards the back, and the GPU could be on the front, completely avoiding the area where the CPU loop parts would go. Then you could have that go-between fit right in the middle between the two.

Take off the fittings that are blocked due to internal tubing and put rgb lights in them. You can sync them to indicate the hot/cold water and/or cpu/gpu. As well as pulsating the flow orientation.

@Jayztwocents engineering nerd tip. That distribution plate sort of works like a tube and shell heat exchanger. The benefit of using this is that you cool the water mid loop before it reaches the next component. Tube and shell heat exchangers operate at maximum efficiency when the cooling water, and the water being cooled flow in opposite directions. So any loop segments routed internally should flow in closer to the pump suction, and flow out further away from the pump suction to get the maximum cooling effect. It would be great to see you discuss this in a future video, and implement this concept into your build to the maximum practical extent. I'm excited to see how the build turns out, and am a big fan of both you and @GamersNexus!

Couple options: 4 vertical tubes in two different coolant colors running vertically through clear coolant. Then you can use white colored RGB fans to provide glow. Second, use short straight pipes and plug into the two port sets. Then alternate the colored coolants between tubes.

You can use this in a dual loop set up where each loop is a different color and fill this block with one color and pipe the other color through the block so you can see it going through. Maybe clear yellow in the block and blue in the pipe throughs so you see green piping through.

A dual loop with the runs passing through the other loops resivour would look pretty cool. Have them different colors too.

When you use two of these and clear tubes, how about using different dyes and let the loops "cross" so you get a color mix. Let the colored water from the first reservoir flow through the internal loop of the other and visa versa.

~10:30 in, you're talking about the fittings not having any sort of clamping ability like external ones. It's not like you need to worry about them leaking at all. :)

Great video man! and Case I think you should use the new Hyate Y70 Touch.

This would be awesome to use in a build with two of these distro plates, but run them as to serperate loops with different colours and have them run through each other, so you get like pink tubes in a blue reservoir and blue tubes in the pink res.

ThermalTake P8 TG massive case ample room and looks sick with the sides taken off and just having an open case. That's how I run mine

Booooooriing!!!!

Using two of these in 2 separate loops with different fluid colors that pass through the other colors blocks would be interesting. Such as a Yellow loop in one with a Blue loop in the other so you get a Green look inside the blocks where the one loop passes through the other.

I think you should use the two of those as the ends of your case and build copper tubing runs between them as the frame of your custom built case....

this would be cool for a showoff kind of build. with 2 of em you could have 2 independent loops with different color coolants running through. like one loop for CPU and the other for GPU where loop 1 can run through internal routing through manifold 2 and vise versa kinda like the umbrella corp virus tubes.

Oooh, if you had two loops that don’t connect (say for a GPU and CPU) you could use the reservoir for one with a transparent color and then do several tubes inside with like a glitter color additive. Then you get lines of one color running through your other color. Could look neat

2 in a build but separate loops with different colours so you could have one loop pass through inside the manifold of the other

Jay, it would be interesting for you to go really obscure with the build with one distro plate for the cpu and gpu, which is transferring the heat of these components to the other distroplate with just radiators. It would be interesting to see how much heat can be removed from the loop by just fitting and cables inside of the reservoir combo.

jay you should do a twin loop with these. one loop being as an example blue and the other red. have one loop a going through loop b's block

If you have all things feeding into this at sections of the loop it might help temps by acting as a heat exchanger. Hot out from CPU passing through the cold reservoir

Im looking forward to seeing the insane build that Yall use it in.

Regardless of what EKWB offers, if it's acrylic. Expect cracks when used for a short period of time due to thermal expansion.

2 of those would be nice for car build, make them as cylinder heads for a v-engine

I guess you could have the returns at the top, cascading over water wheels, tipping buckets, etc.

Very late on this one, but Koolance does have some very low-profile 90 degree elbows (NZL-LXG2). Though I used barbed fittings and zip-ties because I was using 16mm tubing.

that unique design doesnt need to be tubes fit with pressure and stuff... because vacuum from the pump it will make the tubes compress in the fittings making it well fit without too much effort and its a really interesting design to be honest

Build double system with double loops that go through each other's reservoir. Then have different color liquids. Product would make more sense if it was sectors of holes and plexiglass+o-ring inserts that are positioned & screwed sandwiched inside the reservoir. Less holes, less fittings, factory finished inserts instead of user erroring pipe bending. Could probably get RGB leds inside the fitted parts through unused holes. And about 500 dollar less of expensive special fittings.

Could do some cool stuff with dual loops in this with different coloured fluids etc. Using the manifold as a res for one loop and the internal runs for the other.

I would think you could use it by connecting components in parallel i.e. multiple outs (or split after the outlet using T fittings) to each component then each component returns to a separate inlet port

I put a thicc 480mm rad with push pull EK fans on the front of a Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 and a 240mm rad on top. The original plan was too cool both cpu and gpu with this big loop but it was back when gpu's were impossible to get. I ended up getting a watercooled 6900xt from asus with its own 240 or 280 rad. Luckily my case had space for all 3 radiators, and 6 HDD cages as well. I love that computer. I will probably be building out of that same case, using the same EK hardware, for many many years. Can't wait to see what you build with this wild and wacky cooling hardware!

Damn!!! That'll be a number one thing I need in my next build. It's pretty much like adding a fan to a case. BTW, will 12mm soft tubing work as well?

This would fit perfectly in my Thermaltake View 51

I think it could be interesting with two as you could do 2 different colours next to each other one being routed through the others reservoir

Copper tubes running into the reservoir from another reservoir. filled with ice water made by a EK TEC cooling block would be a sick build.

With two blocks/loops, use one with clear water and the other with an intense color. And then run the color tubing through the clear water block.

even if you dont like coloured fluid, it would be fun to have an am5/nvidia build with one res with green and one with red, but the tubing go through the opposite reservoir making the red and green fluid cross each other in the reservoir. well, intel in blue would work too.

I should show you how my replacement pump arrived. I took pictures of it. The box was concave on one side and it was shipped in the retail box. Luckily it survived.

I wonder if you could combine this with copper tubing and get something insane like the LTT chiller and use one loop to cool the fluid for the main loop as to avoid condensation issues from sub zero temps. Essentially by running the warm end of the loop of the main systems cooling through the sub zero fluid from the chiller to remove more heat from the liquid. It's completely excessive and entirely niche but could be fun.

The DeepCool Morpheus case would seem interesting. It has plenty of spacing for water cooling and distro plates, so you could easily pull it off with that. Also not to mention it can fit a ridiculous amount of fans.

Would be kind of cool to run two of those with two "seperate" cooling loops for cpu/gpu with different color liquid going through tubes of other color (hard to make sense of that) but you get it.

Should toss it in a Monotech King 95. It has space for two 140mm that pivot, allowing you to use either the glass plate on the front, or a mesh panel. Also, that case comes in many different color options.

Based on the video I'm pretty sure it'd work, but testing may disagree. When fitting/measuring the internal tubing, do the start like you did, fittings inside in place, then take both fittings out when you place the tube into the fittings, then put the fittings with the tubing already connected back in. Since the low profile fittings appear to tighten independently of the connection point quite easily. This should allow you to get a tighter fit to compensate for the loss of a compression connection. Should be able to get the extra mm or 2 you likely lose due to needing some manipulation space.

That would be an awesome theme build for the Disney movie Elemental. Have two of the blocks with one holding red "Fire" fluid with the tubing for the red fluid going into the other block that holds the blue "Water" color. Then vise versa. The blue tubing running in the red block. An amazing Fire and Ice build. Please think on it.

Would be interesting to see this in a Fractal Design case. Haven't seen many watercooling builds in them.

This could be cool if you had a dual loop system and ran clear fluid in the reservoir side of this and used the internal tubes to run a coloured fluid on the other loop. Or even experiment with combining colours to get a third colour inside this block
