Hey all, sharing my latest addition to my Watercooling setup. I have added a 560mmx58mm Radiator Push/Pull Tower to my setup.

Necessary, definitely not, but once you go watercooling you do things for your convenience and for fun. I love great temps and wanted my system to be quiet as well, so decided to add this tower and stay with same Lian Li fans and ecosystem to makes things easier. I reduced my fan speeds and I am now running them all 800 RPM, so very silent.

My temps have been great, after taking these picture ran my PC idle for 1hour and coolant temp has been stable at 22 - 22.5 degrees, only 0-0.5 degrees higher than ambient. CPU on idle 36-37, GPU 22. Load all depends on what you are testing.

Wanted to share in case anyone is interested in an alternate exterior cooling versus the MORA IV. If I ever go SFF I may move for a MORA, but that is years from now, I am all set until AM6 comes out and I need a new motherboard.

Below is my setup now:
CPU 9950X3D with EK AMD Ryzen Direct Die block, GPU 5090 FE with EK Velocity 3 Block, Samsung 9100 Pro 8TB and 4TB, Samsung 990 Pro 4TB for backup, Gskill 32GB CL2600 1.40V Ram Kit (overclocked to CL26 6400 2200), MSI MEG X870E Godlike, MSI MAG Ai1600TS (for GPU Safeguard), 17 Lian Li 140mm Fans, 1 Lian Li 120mm fan, Koolance QDCs, 2 x Aquacomputer High Flow Next, Lian Li O11 EVO XL Case with EK Reflection 2 Waterblock, 3X420x140mm EK Radiators, EK 120x30mm rear radiator, X560M EK exterior radiator, EK Momentum RAM Waterblock, Ton of EK Fittings/brackets and Liquidhaus 120/140mm bracket for exterior radiator, ~3.5-4 liters of Aquacomputer DP Ultra coolant running in my system.

P.S. I know I need to work on my cable management.

Did a stupid thing last night after installing a temp sensor, while i struggled to find an air leak.
Started cranking this thing and accidentally cracked the acrylic plate.

I have seen a lot worse on this sub reddit and they somehow they don’t leak… can I please get some advice on how long you think this will be ok for?.

So far it’s held .3 bars for 15mins, it’s been refilled with a cleaner and no signs of leaking yet.
Just a little scared, as this is my first time experiencing this.

Sorry if this is the 100th cracked acrylic advice post you have seen.

Leak was due to the drain plug not seating correctly….

We recently finished our first build with the new EK Uni Distro, this inside you'll find the latest NVIDIA RTX 5090 custom liquid-cooled for ultra-low temps.

The EK Uni Distro features a universal 120mm mount, ideal for almost any ATX case, with support for both CPU & GPU you can see we ran some ultra-clean hard-tube runs, with dual radiator set-up and a drain valve.

The Uni Distro is fully reversible, so for this build we rear mounted the D5 pump, with access to the new EK Bypass valve through the rear panel of the case.

When it's time to drain the coolant for this build, we can open the front mounted drain valve to just gravity do it's thing - then instead of lifting, tilting and tipping the case to get coolant out of blocks, rads and bends.

Then we can simply close the bypass valve to allow us to pressurise the custom-loop, we do this by connecting an air-blower and the residual coolant is flushed straight out the drain port in around 60 seconds.

This makes it super easy to drain, flush and refill anytime you fancy a change in coolant color or an EK Super Flush to clean your blocks, tubes and distro to have them looking as fresh as when they came out of the box.

Hope you like the build! We've ordered some additional cases from Computex to showcase the Uni Distro in some new designs.

Stay tuned for more builds!

EK Team

The EK-Quantum Reflection³ Uni Distro Plate 300 D5 is the industry’s first to ship with a fully integrated EK Bypass Valve.

No more lifting, tilting or tipping your case - when you’re ready to change your coolant, just close the bypass valve, pressurise the loop with an air-blower and watch the coolant drain from your blocks, bends and fittings with ease.

Maintenance so simple, you’ll be wondering why we didn’t realise it sooner.
