EK®, the premium water cooling gear manufacturer, is launching the EK-Quantum Reflection Obsidian 1000D D5 PWM D-RGB, a reservoir, routing, and pump solution specifically engineered for Corsair Obsidian 1000D case. This distro plate is made to provide a unique water-cooling solution with dual D5 pumps for users who demand premium aesthetics, silence, and enough flow for multiple GPUs or even dual systems in one case.

This distribution plate will only fit the Corsair Obsidian 1000D Super-Tower.

EK-Quantum Reflection Obsidian 1000D D5 PWM D-RGB

This distribution plate is designed to bring the slim-lined EK Quantum aesthetics to the front of the 1000D case and to offer high flow and silent operation thanks to two serially connected genuine D5 pumps. While it is slim, it’s absolutely massive in surface and weighs in at a whopping 5.3 kilograms.

EK-Quantum Reflection Obsidian 1000D D5 PWM D-RGB offers an all-in-one solution that includes two D5 pumps, a reservoir, a simple mounting mechanism, a CNC-machined aluminum piece that connects two telescoping radiator trays, and multiple industry standard G1/4″ threaded inlets and outlets for multiple graphics cards, and even dual systems. The placement of these inlets and outlets is aligned to match other EK cooling components and to minimize the number of bends the user has to make when creating the loop. This distro plate can support up to two CPU water blocks, five GPU blocks, and two top-mounted radiators. One CPU and one GPU block ports are intended for the second mini-ITX system that is completely optional but can be housed inside the same case.

The distro plate takes up both frontal radiator mounting positions, leaving room for two thick XE 480mm radiators in the top. Three metal brackets come with this Reflection waterway – two are used to mount it to the front telescoping radiator tray. The third is used, if your loop is utilizing soft tubing, to connect the top and front radiator trays, allowing you to pull them out together.

Designed to be mounted at the front of the case, the EK-Quantum Reflection Obsidian 1000D D5 PWM D-RGB illuminates the front and shows off its unique aesthetics. The built-in addressable D-RGB LED strip runs down the entire length of the unit while anodized black aluminum cover hides the unwanted LED hotspots. The installed addressable D-RGB LED strip connects to the motherboard’s 5V D-RGB (A-RGB) header through an industry-standard connector. It is compatible with all major motherboard vendor software for coordinated lighting effects. Another excellent and recommended addressable D-RGB controller unit you could use is the EK-Loop Connect.

This water distribution plate comes with a pair of powerful and silent, PWM-controlled genuine D5 pumps. Being a part of the EK Quantum Line, this is a premium product that has enough power to give excellent performance with multiple blocks. The reservoir is made of CNC-milled cast acrylic material for the glass-like appearance and rigidity.
